i love this instrument.
It doesn’t matter what instrument you play, learning scales will always make you a better player. This is a helpful video.
not true, it vibrates for a bit
im sure thig guy likes 311
lolz only 4 noobs xD
yes thats a gud questiion as soon as u take off your finger from the fret it stops the sound
Is it possible to play the pentatonic blues scales (as on a normal guitar) with a bass under a blues as a bass solo? Just like you play a guitar solo on blues with those scales?
You seem to know a lot. Help please :).
What are the scales useful for? Like, do they help with learning 12 bar blues or something?
Thanks in advance.
my nipples look like milk duds
good video…also, I have posted some advanced bass lessons fro everyone, using major scale too…I take this good idea and get super fast, emulating Billy Sheehan, jaco etc..cheers !
it stops as soon as you let go, but you can also mute the strings by placing your finger on it instead of plucking it
fuck you nigger
you can either mute the string with your left hand by resting a finger over the string that you do not wish you play (after removing your finger from the fret). you can also mute the strings with your right hand by alternating fingers and placing a finger on the unused string to stop it from vibrating. hope that helped (and made sense)
When I move up a string I put my thumb on the string above it.
I’ve had my eye on bass for quite a while. These type of videos may give me a head start until I order and recieve my bass.
Quick question: How do you stop a string from sustaining the noise (ex. You play E-1st fret and then you play A-3rd fret). Is there a way to stop sustaining the noise or does it stop automatically when you remove your finger from the fret?
are you retarded?
hey just wanted to tell you that u are great bro and keep it up
Some people are saying that this isn’t a helpful video but they are wrong in my opinion. You may not actually use this in a song (you probably won’t) but things like this bring a better understanding of the instrument and how it works. Especially with the bass a good understanding of the instrument is needed.
its a diatonic major scale in G
what are the tabs for this?
are you at the guitar center in robinson town centere in this video? u and that bass look familiar
It’ll adjust the more you practice.
If not, get a mini bass.
There are guitar players who’s hands are practically half the size of the guitar’s body but they still play fluidly
The bass can be as dominant as any guitar lick. Soloing on the guitar is more highly praised than playing rhythm or chords and the bass is nothing BUT soloing. I just got a 350$ Ibanez acoustic 4 string bass and I solo all over that thing like an eagle in the sky. It’s not the instrument, its the talent and dedication of the musician that plays it.
i’m only 11 so my hand is to small :[
I just got a bass, And that wasnt really helpful… geezuz.
