Kind regards,

George(BassLessonsOnline),

Do you think you are a better bass player than Doug Pinnick,Victor Wooten or  Matt Freeman?

Do you think you can do a video on Raking?

[BassLessonsOnline]

I just did a search and found a good video on the topic by MarloweDK. We can't post links here, but I'm sure you will easily find it.

Bass of Luck!

[BassLessonsOnline]

Hello and thanks for your comment and questions.

10ths are explained in my video titled "Learn Bass Chords in 10ths".

Enjoy your new learnings!

Hello George. I'm a beginner at bass, but my friends all say im a quick learner. I was wondering a few things, what is the difference between roundwound and flatwound strings (not technically, just to the bass, sound, and to your fingers) and also, do you think i should change my fender jazz bass's neck pickup to a split coil? i was wondering what the difference between them was. Thanks for reading, and thanks for the great videos!

[BassLessonsOnline]

Hello

Soft flatwound strings (such as I use on several of my You Tube videos - those with the orange P-Bass) are easier on fingers and frets. The low mid-range is more emphasized (more punchy) and the highs have much less "zing".

Depending on your taste and the music you play, this had advantages and disadvantages ... and the only way to find out - as usual - is to do your own tests.

The split coil in neck position will produce more of a P-Bass sound - a bit "thicker".

George

[TheOnlyThinker]

Ah, thank you George (:

[lucydeath78980]

i have a 5 string so do i still wach this

[BassLessonsOnline]

Yes, you can do exactly the same on a 5-string bass.

George

[morebasslongjohn]

you rock.

I am a Bassist, i Play With My Fingers and i never use tabs

[BassLessonsOnline]

Good on all counts!

Thanks and best regards,

George

[Gamiliwnas]

George do me a favor and tell me where can i find tabs of what you play pls...I only play metal in bass and rock of course!!!

[BassLessonsOnline]

I don't do tabs. Most of my You Tube videos are explained well enough (possibly after several views) to get the frets, strings, notes etc.

George

[Speshalyst]

thanks .. but why are all your videos so not audible.. :(

[BassLessonsOnline]

Does this only happen on my videos?

George

[kag6]

this would be really great if i knew what a minor 10th was

[BassLessonsOnline]

My apologies for not explaining in this video.

I have a You Tube video titled "Learn Bass Chords in 10ths" which explains major and minor 10ths.

Also, in this video, from 3:28 onwards I show the shape for the minor 10th a few times.

Happy further researching!

hello george, i have a concern. now i have been playing bass for about 3 1/2 years and play stuff from jazz, to hardcore metal. basicly if it has good bass in it ill play it. now the problem is i have NO clue when it comes to scales and all that other stuff, basicly i just listen to the stuff and do it by ear. if you told me to play an A, F#, and a c i would be lost. even if you told me to just play an F# id be lost. what would you recomend? thank you,

Hello Drew

If it concerns you, learn what you think you need to know. That's how I learned almost everything!

George

C sharp, or you'll B flat....

Hello George, This is one of your students, Anthony in Fort Worth, TX. I have a request. Is it possible for you to make a video of you playing at one of your gigs. I would love to see you playing with a band. Thanks again for everything.

[BassLessonsOnline]

Hello Anthony. Its great to see a post from a student of Bass Lessons Online here.

I have had that request a couple of times. Currently there is only old footage available, which I won't post.

Setting up a video shoot of a live gig - with good lighting AND sound - is quite a task. Often people take footage with their cell phones (that happened on last Saturday's gig) but the sound is usually inadequate.

I'll keep an eye on what's happening and post something if it is any good.

George

[lukesheridan]

Thank you. I like the fact that you explain the theory behind the tune as it helped me understand by watching the video how it was done. Top marks. And where are you from/based?

[BassLessonsOnline]

Thanks. I like things to be understood well as well as played well.

I'm on the other side of the world from you - in Australia. I live near Byron Bay in northern New South Wales.

Best regards,

George

[rocc693]

great lesson , can you send the tablature for this video ? thanks

[BassLessonsOnline]

I'm glad you like it.

I have to answer your question with "no". As I say and display in the lesson, it is all made up of major and minor tenths. Start your first major tenth on the 6th fret of the E-string together with the 7th fret, G-string.

If you don't want to learn the tune by ear - or by sight from the video - there is notation available.

Basically tabs hinder rather than enhance musical growth. That's a fact.

Best regards,

George

PS try it on your keyboard too.
