same thing

That’s why I thought of continue learning by myself

Lol what's wrong with jokes

So i'm not the only one : D

Just learned Bass for a month now. I thought I was the only one who prefers patterns 😊

Improvising is more about feel, you’re expressing your rhythmic feel of the song, all you need to do is know where every note is and your chords, after that you don’t need a video like this! Man don’t you know how many self taught bassist have had hit records! Juna Serita the Japanese bassist is self taught, in her video it took her 2yrs. There’s another white female that’s self taught but so good that she’s sponsee by Carvin, Music Man, and Fender, along with other companies! The most horrible experiences I’ve ever had was playing bass for mechanical guitarist- all text book but had no feel for any music, their sound was flat and empty despite knowing what chords to play! Just learn your fretboard and chords, then improvise with what you’re feeling from the song you’re playing and how you vibe with the rest of the band- the great John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin was classically trained for bass and piano but he said he threw all that out the window and learned to play by feel!

@@tedbogan6099 the rant feels a bit unecessary. I am mostly self taught, the only thing I've ever needed to look up was improv. Because the thing is that I simply can't comprehend what notes are where or what keys or chords I'm playing in. I'm like dyslexic for music it doesn't click no matter what. Nothing I've been done has been mechanical or by the books any professional who'd look at how I'd play could probably tell me a thousand ways I'm being inefficient but that doesn't matter cause my way works for me. But I can't do improv on my own, coming up with rhythms in my head, that idea of "feeling the music", knowing what notes to play in what keys, it doesn't click in my head no matter what. Same with playing by ear and same with sheet music it just doesn't work for me. And that's fine. Because I know what does. Instead of lecturing people online who found something that works for them, why not take time to understand that some people simply are gifted with music and some aren't. And for those who aren't these types of videos and help are necessary to deepening their understanding of playing. Because not everyone is the same and for some people they just need to go about it in a different way

@@tedbogan6099 your entire comment is basically going "hey I know you found something that works for you but fuck you here's a list of a bunch of skilled people who did it differently and I think that way is better so do that". And I don't think you understand exactly how condescending you're being. Also, I'm gonna assume you think I'm new to bass. I've been playing bass for 6-7 years, I also took music as my major for 7 years prior. And yet despite all of that neither "feeling" the music or classical learning has helped me.

Thanks for letting me know. It's great to hear that it's helpful!

Thank you, great to hear that this approach works!

I will be signing up for the SV course soon 👍🏽

Awesome! Hope you like it!

You're completely right! Also dynamics, build ups, repetition etc. will make the improvisation come to life. In this video I focus on the music theoretical part. This overview is just a starting point. There's definitely so much more to add!

@@SanneVerbogt Totally agree! You are a great teacher.

i'll probably stick to the bass :)

@@SanneVerbogt okay will go for the bass instead

Thank you for letting me know! Happy to help!

Yes, that's step 1 - 4 here. :)

@@SanneVerbogt My apologies. I meant to describe how to improvise a chord progression (and root notes) to go with a specific song melody as step 1 in your video (instead of choosing any random chord progression that may or may not go with the song melody that you would like to accompany with a bass line).

@@allanjeong Aha, yes that's a different case!

Very welcome!

it's drawn as a fretboard without strings (so there's no line over the numbers/letters) but that might be a bit confusing indeed..
