Me at the morning: "Now, what things should I incorporate to my training routine next?" Me, now: "Ah, this video solved that problem immediately." Thanks for this!

COOL! I'm a Conservatory grad who has been playing bass since 1963 and I find these etudes very useful. I plan to practice them daily. Knowing the 1st part in C, I can extrapolate the rest, repeating the pattern in 4ths through Gb and then going to minor, diminished and augmented. Though I will recommend the book to my students.

Bass Technique. You need the bass to feel comfortable and that means holding it properly and working on your strength, stamina, accuracy and coordination.

Brilliant, well explained… great enthusiasm from yourself…Top Work… 👍🏼

Thank you Mark for yet another brilliant exercise routine. It is easy to hear the JS Bach influence coming through! When I first saw the email notice I was hoping for another (rare) Precision Bass lesson, however that was not to be (sigh).

I've been learning bass by working through various rock tracks (your videos have really helped), going through the Bassics course, and playing in a covers band. Just watching this video, though, has helped a number of things click in my head and I will be working through this! Thanks Mark!

Hey! Mark, greetings from Quebec. I really appreciate your videos and how they are simply well put with you and your bass on a monochrome background. This helps greatly to focus. Thanks a lot.

I tried etude 1 and absolutely hated it. Guess my ego wasnt ready for this piece humble pie.

@Ardnahcian Ай бұрын

Great exercise that I should incorporate to my warmups! By the way Mark, may I request a tutorial on how to properly play Sky Mall by Vulfpeck? Some tips especially for the end part would be greatly appreciated.

@jtwashere59 Ай бұрын

Also, it would be great if you did more tutorials along the lines of “What Makes The 'Pump It Up' Bass So Damn Cool - The Funky Punk Of Bruce Thomas”.... only a deeper dive. Getting into the theory behind the bass line, the technique you need to learn to get it to sound like the recording, etc. Maybe even do a series on one particular bass player…

Full disclosure, I play the piano and the ukulele. My shoulder problems keep me from playing guitar and bass, so I adapt. Learning left hand on the piano and the fretboard has guided me towards bass videos since having a good low end is essential for the foundation of the musical house. I've been practicing the Circle of Fourths for a while, and there is nothing better for learning the fretboard. Great lessons. Hope you're playing pain free. If you want to see my video for exercises to stabilize and strengthen the low back, as well as tips for the shoulders and hands... Oh My Aching Bach

Hi there! Jason from Brasil here. This marvelous class is starting at 4 PM Brasília UTC-3 Time Zone! Enjoy it!

@mark-stefaniw Ай бұрын

Amazing! You literally are TalkingBass master. Mark, can you sing lead vocals and play bass at the same time? I can sing harmony backups, but only lead vox if the bass line is really simple

@jtwashere59 Ай бұрын

Great exercise. For all levels. One question: Focus on technique (fluidity, rhythm/metronome) after getting each one down? Or learn whole etude & THEN work on technique?

@diegovargas70 Ай бұрын

The end of the B Arpegio repeat 2 times de B before hit the F sharp? so seems to be in the tabs, but i dont hear a repeated note in the etude, and i see Mark play B, G sharp and F sharp als transition to the E Arpegio. I dont know, maybe dont really matters, because both things sounds god to me anyway.

Hey Mark, I know you don't typically do death metal songs, but would you be able to give a tutorial on how to play Together As One - Death. The intro I've found incredibly difficult to play fingerstyle as Steve DiGiorgio does and I can't seem to get the groove and sound down for the rest of it.

@pepefiletto4851 Ай бұрын

Is there a pdf of the etude somewhere on this page? I can't seem to see it here... maybe I'm just missing it.

@patrickgi Ай бұрын

Hello - Is page 25 dupe of page 24?

@caqueto3347 Ай бұрын

Hi, can explain somebody why Marc says that the there is a V to I resolution (minute 17") if we are going from C to F so I would think this is I to IV rather than V to I. ??

@talkingbasslessons Ай бұрын

C is the fifth degree of F. It’s a V to I resolution to F. Then F becomes V of Bb etc.

@67NewEngland Ай бұрын

- Why is it we are progressing through it in 4th as opposed to 5th for instance? Just wondering if there is something I’m missing, or if that just what he chose to do,that’s all.

@maetta Ай бұрын

He explains why at approx 16:44.

@mervitirkkonen7443 Ай бұрын

That is: It is more logical, because I-V-I (like in chords C-G7-C) the V chord (G or G7) is wanting/willing actively to go to the I chord (C) - and then the C is the "home" where to land. But, because I-V-I in F major is F-C-F, the V chord is now C or C7 , from C we can continue our "trip around the world" (or circle of 5ths) - that direction is more logical for our ear than the trip to the opposite direction.

@mark-stefaniw Ай бұрын

Technically the etude, moving CCW round the circle, is a chain (or cycle) of fifths, or chain of 5-1 resolutions.

Thank you very much but please reduce talking. This is a practical lesson which needs more practical example.

Ridiculous comment

@mervitirkkonen7443 Ай бұрын

I´d say "yes and no" to that matter. I personally like the way you explain what to do and why to do. And special thanks for : Even you speak quite quickly and much, you are using English that is "easy enough" for us non- english-speakers! We (I) can always repeat the video and practice in parts, too.

This is a breakdown of how to practice these kinds of etudes. The talking is the only bit you should be listening to.
