So I stumbled on this video by chance.  I know what the guys is trying to do...so for that it's cool...beginners, I get it. BUT OMG you might need a cord, maybe a pic, and uhhh..yeah a bass. That would help too...sounds so rudimentary but in the grand scheme I have not laughed this hard in my life!!

Yeh, dude says some foolish things, like, "you'll need a bass", & "probably need a cord"! C,mon man! Do you think we're that friggin' stupid?!! On the other hand, he's just trying to help newbies with techniques. So ya gotta cut him some slack. Dude, you got decent chops. If you really want to help newbies, re-shoot your videos, cut out the foolish stuff, and, slow things down a bit with some tighter shots of the various techniques that you're trying to teach.

I never knew that it's important to play standing up :O So a guy in a wheelchair loses the bet at the very beginning,right? *rolls eyes* And what's the point of saying that people need a book to learn the methodology on a video of a website which makes videos to teach exactly the same thing? Schmexpertvillage..

[FearGreenHaze93]

@thatguywhomakestuts i play bass with a pick and sometimes fingers. It's just preference really.

[thatguywhomakestuts]

ummmm since when did u use a pick to play a bass, all of the bass players i know use their fingers........

[ZappaFan101]

Oh shit son! I didn't know you needed a bass to play bass. Damn, I've been doing it wrong for all these years. No wonder I couldn't get a bass guitar sound from that can of chicken noodle soup...
