[camthebassist]

[myhouseisyourpants]

DUUUDE! Wooten would be proud.

[TIMBASSIX]

Mate.. Vic's coming to do a masterclass in my home town... and i can't make it! AAAAARGHH!!!

[myhouseisyourpants]

OMG!!! I would die. Twice. In the face. Thats really sad. But hey, you're a rockin bassist so no need to worry. You can do your own clinics.

[tthom580]

This is really inspiring. It's really cool to see what you can do when you can blend so many techniques together so seamlessly. How many hours a day would you say you practice?

[TIMBASSIX]

I travel a lot man.. but when i'm home.. a few hours i guess?

[spoofzilla]

Hail to the lefties, sweet playing.

[polishpirate123]

[mrbssmn]

[dvdmanso]

Muy bueno otra vez...

[Hawkon33]

Although im not playing bass, but guitar, I liked this lesson, sweet riff dude!

[strzempa]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cool :D

[Generalbas1972]

Very nice indeed, did you write the piece yourself or is it taken from another bassplayer?

[TIMBASSIX]

Cheers mate! Just an excersise really, but yeah I came up with it I guess?

[MarloweDK]

Great player, great groove and great instruction, players willing to share knowledge is worth the outmost respect, i salute you

[jejgalvin]

Mate, very cool! Came across you by accident, and now i'm subscribing for sure!! I like how your open with the wickid things you doing and not being selfish and keeping them to yourself! Some people tend to keep their technique secret so noone copies!

[dan1215]

hey man guess what? SUBSCRIBED! your fuckin awsome! you know you should deffinitly start recording because you would be a hit! you have so much creativity that i wish i had. I just cant think out side the box for some reason and this vid definitly helped. Thanks alot and deffinitly start recording, make a cd, and sell it on itunes.

p.s.-nice dreads, bet that took you a long time to get right lol.

[bjorkica5678A]

thats awsome, ive been playing acoustic for about two years and im just starting to experiment with the bass 'cause there arent many girls who play bass, and i love the sound :)

[Funkyskunk01]

ur single :)

[ChairmanAmes]

Thats one of the funkiest riffs I have ever heard. I recorded it and chucked it on my ipod. Can't wait for next week, maybe you can give me some better insight into it! peace bro.

[Bassman1026]

You got some groove with that. That is what is amazing.

[unopepito06]

Wow, you are one hell of a bassist. I just got a new bass after 2 years on a junky one, and you lessons are awesome. You'll probably se a comment from me on every video lol.

[TIMBASSIX]

Comment welcome my friend!! Hows the new bass?

[masarapangtaho]

You are really advancing my skills brother. Cheers to you! Thank You for the lessons. I am very poor and could never afford the lessons you are giving me. I can never thank you enough. I am telling everyone in the music scene about You. You are getting quit the Reputation on YouTube. It's time to get your solo CD in stores and on I-tunes

Peace!

[TIMBASSIX]

Bro that is EXACTLY what I want to hear and why I posted these vids.. for people like you! I need a kick in the but to get my solo stuff recorded.. gotta settle on forms for tunes and just lay em down ! Thanks for the words!

[MeinenMusik]

dude if you had things on itunes id be one of the first customers

i love your music, friend :)

[TIMBASSIX]

Cheers man! Gotta make sure I keep up the solo stuff! Easy to get caught up doing band stuff and not "write" Rock on mate

[AlanSanderson1]

Cheers for thesse lesson videos man. You are a legend. I've been practicing really hard at the minute, and where you are with this is right where I wanna be... thesse are a great help!

thanks again

[TIMBASSIX]

An absolute pleasure mate! Thanks heaps for the feedback.. means a lot! Keep playin!

[fingers81]

Blimey bud, thats cool, sorry understating, freaking sweet stuff man. Can I ask if you are self taught or did you attend some schooling for bass?

cheers man

PS love to pick ya brain on some things some time

[TIMBASSIX]

Mate I guess you could say mostly self taught.. had three months of lessons from an absolute champ when I was 13.. 27 now.. been playing in bands and obsessing over other bass players since then.. teaching others has been a great way to learn!! Cheers Fingers!

[fingers81]

Cheers bud, Being self taught myself its been a long road learning from videos and self exploration but I'm getting there. I'm still pretty new to the double thumb/ victor wooten style of slap thing as you don't tend to hear much about him in England. I'm more of a Larry Graham/ Mark King kinda player but I'm learning . Any tips on that technique? Cheers

[ech10]

so I posted a video of my attempt at this...if you could give me some feedback and some details about the setup on your bass...that would be fantastic...

[remoutroom46]

man it`s cool

[Intenzity]

bad ass, dude. Greetings from the EW ES AH. Its cool to see such a wild technique used really musically. Right on.

[TIMBASSIX]

Cheers bro! hmmm... EW ES AH??? forgive me but??

[Intenzity]

sorry...just the sounds of the letters - U, ES, AH..USA. :)

[TIMBASSIX]

dude... I'm a bit stupid sometimes.. shoulda got that one

!

[eyemran]

Interesting technqiue! With the down up pluck stuff, I never thought of pulling out with the thumb to strike the A on the down struck. I'ma try that!

eyemran

[TIMBASSIX]

[TIMBASSIX]

Great!! That's exactly why I put that up there! Hope you come up with a bbBassYo version and post it for me to learn from!!
