Thank you sooo much for inspiring me to go ahead with my bass!! I almost lost hope as i couldnt go for classes due to some reasons. Thank You :-)

@broomernett You're welcome - remember that only the people who take action and start learning will make progress. You won't get better just by watching videos on YouTube....so remember to take your learning to your practice space and practice!

[broomernett]

@howtoplaybassdotcom Yes I know. I am more happy now coz i even got master blaster in your channel!!

You have no idea what change you have brought in my life!! Thank you sooo very much. I pray that you keep gettin higher in your aim, whatever it maybe :)

And yes I will practice.

interesting I always thought it was played starting on the open a string

intresting I always thought it was played starting on the open a string

GREAT but on all your videos you seem to press the string down on the fret instead of between the frets.

Any reason why you do that?

It makes it a little hard to see what you are playing.

Hi

Thanks for the comment.

The reason I fret a note just behind the fret itself is that you get the best 'tone' to your notes AND you need to use less force than if you fret half way between the frets.

That's why I talk through the video in great detail - and explain what notes I'm playing and where I'm playing them.

I never knew there was a difference in tone. I will have to experiment with it.

I thought maybe it had to do with muting. Thanks for the reply.
