    Youre my favorite Youtube bass teacher, you give alot of small detail info that others just ignore and expect u to pick up along the way. You actually talk about stuff 'inbetween'. Also your calm and beginner-friendly demeanor is very nice. Keep it up!
  • Grandissimo, hai questa forza di trascinare le persone trasmettendo loro i tuoi insegnamenti; io non so l inglese, a malapena, perรฒ grazie a te ho avuto i miei miglioramenti con il basso, Grazie Maestro
  • That first exercise three note pattern per string is what I used all the way up and down the front board to โ€œunlock โ€œthe fretboard and learn all the notes all the way across the front board in the major scales in their modes. I still do that exercise every time I do any major scale exercises thatโ€™s the first one I do.
  • This is a great tutorial for those of us who travel a lot and miss out on weeks worth of practice. This combined with some of your other practice sessions help to reinforce those bass key bass skills.

    Thanks Dan, I shall try this immediately, actually have not played in years but going to get back into itโ€ฆ.
  • @KissMao
    As I have already told you several timesโ€ฆSEI IL NUMERO UNO! ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿป
  • @deiver2492
    Hey Dan, thanks for the exercise, you make my life more enjoyable.
  • @Williamk492
    Thatโ€™s a sweet looking bass! I bet it has some mileage on it. Cool lesson, thank you ๐Ÿ™
  • @carloschbn
    Hi Dan, what a great lesson! Excellent warm up exercise. Really cool! This 9:47 part reminds of the bass intro in Sade's song "Smooth Operator". Btw, this song has also an amazing bass solo too. Your bass lessons are the best. Greetings from Brazil ๐Ÿ™‚๐ŸŽธ

  • @paulwest5402
    Hey,Dan, how about a lesson on the fretting hand, think I have gotten into a lot of bad habits and am trying to correct themโ€ฆ.
