Mark is the most generous and best teacher on the internet. He is an awesome educator and presents the information in a way that the student can actually understand and learn from his lessons.When I need any bass learning programs I will definitely buy from his store.

I'm probably too old to be trying to learn how to play the bass I'm 61 years old but I've been learning for about 3 months now. I just want to say that I've been watching you since I started learning and this video has really helped me to understand how to apply this stuff to songs. Thanks Mark, you're awesome.

Video tutorials like this are always underrated and overlooked.. Thanks for the lessons man

You are an excellent teacher! Keep up the good work.

Hands down the best teacher on KZfaq -- with Steve Stine as a decent runner up.

You are trully a great teacher, I learn A LOT with every video of yours, I can't thank you enough!!

These are the best lessons. I don't know why I haven't found them until recently. Thanks 8 years later!

Hi Mark! Thank you sooooooo much for this lesson! One of THE most useful and practical lessons so far in my learning journey! My husband is a drummer and once I get this lesson solid I finally feel like I'l finallyl be able to jam with him! Blessings! Nancy

My cat loves this video! This is the first time she's been interested in a video that isn't birds or squirrels.

I am learning to play play guitar and found this Bass lesson the best lesson I ever had for practicing my arpeggios and creating lines. Thank you

You are a truly amazing teacher. I’ve watched many videos and you explain everything in a way that makes sense. Thank you!

Thanks a lot! A great video. You made it feel easy at last.

Thank you Mark for this lesson , you have shown and explained it in such a clear manner that I now understand what I just couldn't grasp before .I am very grateful .

I now found a good teacher! This lesson is so enjoyable.

Simple & Very usefull You're very talented teacher.

Felt like I maxed out what I could learn and process on bass by the end of high school. A couple years later getting back into it and it feels better than ever. Thanks for such a clear video!

I really like your lessons, they always start basic and work up to something that's worth it's weight, often something critical to developing real bass skills. Just overall good structure to the lessons

You are the best bass guitar teacher in the world. You made bass playing simple as ABC 👍

Excellent lesson, excellent delivery. I watched this months ago, and now i'm rewatching and couldn't say how much i even more and more aprreciate this particular lesson. It's like i was lost (by other videos) but this points me back to the right direction. Many2 thanks Mark.

It's actually amazing, I have played the bass guitar for all my recordings but well with hearing and trying to do my thing until now.. I am grateful...

Awesome lesson, it makes much more sense visually then having to read the lessons on talkbass. I also believe that chord tones should be taught early on while you're learning to play. This is one of the most important lessons to get into, thank you for showing us all

I"m learning so much today! :)

One of the best bass teachers on KZfaq so much value in evey lesson .

Thanks, you have the best thing going on KZfaq, I appreciate the tabs and very clear explanations, shows you really know what you’re doing...

Best teacher on youtube

Thanks a lot Mark

Keep repeating 5:24-5:25 and its the 'Stranger Things' theme song.

THANK YOU!!! I ACTUALLY GET IT! Thank you for opening doors - God bless.

you are the Mutz Nutz my friend, thank you for your generosity with these lessons, long may it continue

Wow I salute you are a legend teacher God bless you

It's so simple and so satisfying

Bro. Thank you! You've answered my questions through this lesson!!

Absolutely superb lesson thanks very much

Thank you Mark for teaching me how to play the bass. For me you are the best teacher in the internet, keep up the good work. Ps. You should have a pay subscription site.

Honestly ur the best soooo far... I'm learning from you everyday

thanx mark for all your work!

Thank you! Such a helpful and clear tutorial

Enjoy your lessons and learn a lot. Thanks!

You're a Great Teacher. :)

You're a really good teacher mark..

Anyone else used to reading chord diagrams oriented the other way? It seemed to me like the chords on the chart were upside down, and it was really confusing for a hot minute.

Well presented explained nice and simple

Where is our pdf bro ? Thanks for all the the great lessons. You make theory fun and easy.

Thanks for sharing your expertise. Its very kind of you. I appreciate it!. I will study your lessons!

absolutely perfect instruction. thanks... i moved far today. I'm going to throw money at you soon ;)

thanks for sharing with us. bless you and you work.

Thanks a lot Mark!

Excellently taught, thanks!!

Awesome Lesson!!! Thanks!!!

I like that and I learned a lot Thanks Stig from Danmark

Always a pleasure to watch your videos, thanks..

Awesome Lesson!!!

You can equally code the notes specially when using minor pentatonic combined with solo.. Good Smiles 2 5 7 1 3 5. Cminor7 Dominant

Really good lesson, a lot of stuff I need to work on. For those of us still learning to read sheet music it would be nice to write out some of the timing. I can play the pattern along with you, but then I forget it. I am not really sure that I would be able to re-create it from seeing the score, but it is my hope that some day, some way, I will figure it out (even if I have to practice). Thanks again, a lot of good stuff, a lot better than lessons I was taking, and I will donate on your web site. Thanks.

Awesome lesson..!

very good lesson, keep it up

Really enjoyed the progressions break down...😎🤙🏽

Masterprice!

Thank you man

You are awesome God bless you for sharing your experience I just want to ask like in guitar scales and patterns can you share something about patterns or shapes we can use for maj, Min,and 7th chords. Thank you Kerol

woaaaa ! it helps a lot for me as a beginner bass player :) thank you so much :)

Very useful! Thanx!

sweet!! bass is so cool....

Thank you so much.

This is great!!!

I learned most of licks from Brushy One String

very clear and "utile" to understand

Super class.thank you sir

1:49 reminds me of the Mumbo Jumbo remix Nerdbox that Pixlriffs made

This vid was very helpful

Great lesson videos ...

Great lesson. Where can we see the lesson that fallows... passing tones and etc ?

hi i m from montreal canada my english is very poor so i very like yours videos ,,i just start to play bass but i would like to know if you know the haitian music .......kompa

thank you mark

This is enlightening! Sorry about the newbie question, but why is the 7th always diminished? Or how do I know if the 7th needs to be diminished or natural?

you are solid

That is amazing

I need to learn the fretboard

great lesson thank you one question, how are you incorporating the bass drum locks into the last line you play in the video? I can't seem to figure it completely out.

That bass is gorgeous. What make and model is it?

Gracias, capo

This is the only thing i'd like to learn with bass. But seems complex for me still...

GOOD one Mark. Are you using Ibanez's ?

Wasn't expecting 3 2 clave

Wow amazzinggg thanksssssss

thank you for this i show it to my students and it really helps ///... stranger things theme arpegio is in therte ... did you know ?

Podrías explicarlo paso a paso con tabss lesson por favor seria de gran ayuda

The diagram for G7 just doesn't look right to me. What's up with that? Tablature for it anyone? Should be G B D F G right?

Thank

I can play all the basic stuff you played, but I don't know how to progress to playing that last bass line you played. There's a gaping chasm between the basic stuff and that "pro baseline", and I don't know how to get there.

hellow (-: i really feel it was sufull for me can i ask what kind of base guitar is in the film? thanks!

Great Lesson... just a correction offer i want to give.... the diagrams you show us is not the notes you play on guitar..... e.g. c major 7 chord notes.... you play starting from 3rd fret but the diagram shows us starting from 8th fret.... can't find any other fault... i wish my comment has not been arrogant... thanks again....

Probably should have added for beginners to the title

what do you use to make your backing tracks? :)

why when you went to the A was it a minor 7th man? (and so on)

the shirt every time :' )

is this a bass guitar exercise?

What bass company
