[xMHM2010]

God this is shit. Fucking hell, why bother? honestly.

[enkamaster]

This Cat's a Dud, Man!-But Hey Ya Learn;!

[uprightbassmatt]

and now you can play some gig xD

[doublecyrille]

aargh, it hurts me seeing this guy using his left hand so badly!

it must hurt to turn your wrist like that

[AJFedora]

wow... i forgot all i knew about bass... thanks...

[RW889092]

EVERY CHORD IS MADE UP OF THREE NOTES!

[thatsnotagoat]

@RW889092 i know what a dick. this guy should NOT be teaching

[xMontyxx]

@RW889092 If he said triads, sure ... @_@ horrible

[Rg1527]

Dude for gods sake, worst left hand technique Ive ever seen on upright. Best of luck with your crippling tendonitis.....

[yanktheirsoxoff]

why would u start in half?? go in 1st duhhh

[GraditudevsRevenge]

Your technique is horrible and your tone is lame. We can all tell that you definetly dont have a teaching degree or as a matter of fact any kind of degree.

[FUTUREOFPASSE]

every chord is made up of three notes? where the hell did this guy learn music theory? Every triad is made up of three notes, and sympathetic octave or unison notes, but many chords have more than three notes... Eg. 7th 13th add9 etc...

[GraditudevsRevenge]

@FUTUREOFPASSE He went to music school in antartica

[ryanmcclan]

your bass isnt tuned at all

[5211998]

FLAT. You may now how to teach a walking line in C But you don't know how to tune CRAP. ABSOLUTE CRAP.

[HenrikVoldsgaard]

idiot!

[pigsrulealot]

It is better to do first position instead of half when possible, less strain on your fingers, haha

[emilram]

get this guy out of here.

[ette4eva]

Just learning bass here <--- I dont have an upright bass instrument but i do have a bass guitar. I know the fret names, but i dont know how to do a walk. Ive found these videos very helpful

[pigsrulealot]

@ette4eva A good walking bass line is 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 6th, 5th, 3rd, 1st. --- The notes in C for this would be: C, E, G, A, B (or Bflat if you are playing certain jazz scales), A, G, E, C.

Fingering for that would be: A2, D1, G0, G1, G4, G1, G0, D1, A2

but you can transfer this to virtually any root.

[ette4eva]

@pigsrulealot hey cheers

[boredperson778]

i don't even play bass and i know this guys a dumbass

[eddzerdkuijpers]

pfffff I guess a monkey that's been trained on a bass for a week could have as much technique as this guy... He's wrong in so many ways I can't believe they call it exprertvillage..... I guess if you pay people peanuts, you get monkeys working for ya...

[lna1102]

GOD he's so flat

[kbaptiste28]

omg, i just started and i know his technique is bad...

[surfenglewood]

c major the walking bass line everyone... c major. just in case you come across that jazz tune that doesnt have any chord changes

[afroman1419]

why the hell would you play that in half position

[skimes11]

If you guys like the upright bass check out jazz musician Esperanza Spalding. She talks about her new album, Chamber Music Society in this video, Youtube.com/watch?v=uk-oJGAXSj­A

[sionnachy]

That wasn't a walking bass line. That was 3 notes.

[petey815]

@sionnachy yeah i know lol. if you really want to start easy and ACTUALLY do a walking bass line he should start in the key of Bb. there are lots of possibilities from there

[RockabillyPhsyco]

I have been playing stand up bass for four years in the orchestra. If you want to learn go to your local music shop and buy a book that teaches you how. If your not retarded and know how to read you can learn bass. As a matter a fact. If the store has essential elements books try and get them. Get the 6th grade book for starters. Cause thats where i started. and just move up by grade once you finish the book. It teaches you everything you need to know about bass. I really recommend it.

[Ennio6pack]

you'll gonna pay the private instructor?

[andreasswarfeld]

This is bull shit . this guy has only been playing bass for about 2 months, do not follow this man.

[MatthewKaras]

Almost, you typically would not omit the 5th from a half-diminished, fully diminished, or augmented chord. A perfect 5th is usually optional, though.

[BassGuitarGuy128]

@MatthewKaras

You just omit the 7th from a half-diminished chord right?

[MatthewKaras]

@BassGuitarGuy128

I think you could omit the 7th from a half- or fully- diminished chord safely.

[teledestiny]

people who are trying to learn upright DO NOT learn from these videos. you need a private instructor or else you may seriously injure yourself!!!

[iobjectifytom]

@teledestiny "You need a private instructor or else I may not be able to pay my rent this month!"

[lisagoesmodern]

These are helpful hints for a beginner who has never had formal training. Thank you.

[burningxdimx]

ah expert village, home to totally pointless videos and terrible teaching techniques.

[VeganWTF]

@burningxdimx should be called "Retard Village"

[rachwms]

these are super helpful thanks!

[rootypootytang99]

not a very good teaching video, really. i don't blame dude, but come on...

[wblakews]

a broken chord... googly is your friendie

[bacondgp]

that's not what you said earlier.....whatever anyways

i left the flat off my Ab accidently

[zenradio]

Arpeggio refers to a way of playing a chord (or triad) - arpeggiated is one note at a time instead of at once. So a Triad can be arpeggiated, played as an arpeggio. You don't need 7ths, 9ths, 11ths or 13ths, although they can form tetrachords and the basis for substitutions.

[CalQuil09]

Hey, lo1895 first of all an arpeggio is the root, 3rd, 5th, and then the octave. second of all, your an idiot. Dont bash on someone unless YOU have your shit strait.

[rjbassmanatyahoocom]

An arpeggio is any scale played with the root, then the third then the fifth, But if I asked you to play a Bb-7 arpeggio you would spell the 7th, Bb Db F Ab. YOU need to get your shit strait.

[bacondgp]

you're wrong by the ways. if you are in the key of Bb it would be: Bb D F A....you spelled it in Bb minor

[rjbassmanatyahoocom]

Actually, I just realized I was right. I did spell a Bb minor chord because thats what I said I was going to spell in my last comment.

[grrrroink]

No, an arpeggio is made of 4 tones. Three notes spell a triad (which can be considered as a special kind of arpeggio). 2 notes an interval.

[Bradentucky]

Yes he's talking about triad, and he may not know about 7th chords, but you can make an arpeggio out of any chord you like.

[bassplayer5466]

hahahahaha
