[jaybazu]

Hi

This is a great vid-I have been watching most of the stuff you produce on Youtube and it's all great. I have had lots of books and learned different metods but ...

Just a quick question for you. Will you produce some material that we can order and use at home?

Thanks brah

[GospelBassLines]

@jaybazu We are currently working on materials, that we pray is relevant to our viewers, please stay tuned.

Nice shirt. :)



[McmurfKillz]

A tad late but i am also a bass player who has trouble playing by ear. Now if you tell me what the key is in and say " Go to the 6 back to the 4 8# 1b" and so on i understand. But is there any way that i can increase my knowledge in playing by ear? I would be most grateful if a reply was given.

Sean Byrd is Amazing!!!!!!!!! and extermly solid in his musical concepts, every bass player can learn frm my big bro as I have... Thnx 4 this video Sean Bizzle

[Tribulations]

This was excellent, thank you. I like the comparison you / your friend made between learning riffs from songs that aren't you're own and learning to speak for the first time.

[TheGigilicious27]

ron artest rockin the bass

[rockettman75]

Good word here. So much better to learn some theory so that things can be applied to any key and be versatile. Good word.

[masterbate23]

[TheSlugar]

[omusmarshall]

[TheSlugar]

[TheSlugar]

yes sir i am still waiting for that dvd

[keytone62]

Man I like you. You're humble you're easy to follow, you're Holy Ghost filled and I wish I knew you personally because I could really learn from you. I've owned a bass forever. I play by ear, never learned to read and because of that, I'm stuck. I can play almost anything I hear but if the song is taken away and you tell me to just make up as I am playing, again, I'm stuck like chuck and I hate that. people tell me all the time, man you can play but the truth is that I know that I'm limited.

[TH3B3A57]

@keytone62 musical theory man. learn that first. you will be great =)

[manny0874]

im a new bass player who , looking for a BOOK ,dvd,or websites .to get a great start for bass playing

[zionbassist]

@manny0874 Pray and God will guide you. Try Guitar Secrets its a really great method of learning and listen to alot of music. The real secret of the bass is that you have to learn music, what ever a drum and do you can do it on the bass what ever the keyboardist do you can do it on a bass, LISTEN & PRACTICE. I would advise you start with THE MODES and SOME BASS EXERCISES.

[nappyroots89]

@zionbassist man im kinda in the same boat. not a bass player [yet] but i hope to try it out. i dont really know where to begin when listening to music. could you give me some advice?

[manny0874]

im a new bass player who is looking for a great book ,dvd ,or websites to get a good start for and not waste a lot of time on the not needed

[1trae9]

Pure knowledge!!! Thanks brah, this vid just took a lot of my frustrations away. Now I finally see that it takes, like you said, baby steps! But for some reason, I can't help but to want it right now. In other words, I want to scream all on the fretboard, yet I can just barely hold a solid groove. It takes hardwork and I'm willing to put in the time! Thanks Sean!!

[ericj56]

What if u don't knw the song and u u figure out the progression but the song has changes what r u Spose to do

[gwillonthebass]

@ericj56 the best thing to do is take time to know the changes because its also very important. But otherwise, one trick I used early on was staying at the root not and kinda groovin at the root (very indistinctively)
