I'm a new subscriber and what I love most about your tutorials is that you do make little mistakes but that's what most learners need to see to understand that we are not perfect and seeing errors gives us something to improve upon. Too many youtube music channels edit their tutorials to make them perfect and I find puts off learners.

Thanks for the kind words! I absolutely agree. People need to see/hear the imperfections of the shed and that's how one improves. I just want to keep it real and I want folks to see me for what I am and what I bring to the educational aspect. There's no point in NAILING it from a teachers POV, in my honest opinion at least. Once again, thanks for your comment! I'm glad the channel is reaching out to more peeps like you!

You're a real inspiration! Listening to you makes me feel like I'm in a Godard film, sitting idly by outside a French café. I'd like some advice if you'd be so kind. I've played the bass for many years but always felt safe in just looking at tab sheets and doing covers. Lately I realized I've limited myself for too long and started to play some "originals"-just by feel-but I often get frustrated because I'm not hitting the right notes to create beautiful chords and melodies like you do. I'm quite adept at simply playing the 5th and such once given a root note to begin at, but I find progression very difficult. Should I just suck it up and study the chords and music theory? I guess I answered my own question but I can't shake the hesitation and burden I feel in front of this mountainous challenge. Where shall I begin? Are there resources you particularly utilized in your 'early' days? Thanks!

it helps, but to exercise it we'll need the chord right, where i could get the right chord progression for that? or i just make some chord that aren't diatonic?
@oleksandrnovakov4295
@oleksandrnovakov4295 4 жыл бұрын
Soebroto Harry You can use any sequence of any song or whatever you find sounding fine. The only thing you have to keep in mind the current chord. And yes, when it goes beyond of diatonic, the exercise becomes more difficult. Practice-wise it is more useful to work on some progressions with side dominants or borrowed chords. But the purpose is control of what chord and scale are being used at the moment. In my opinion however, soloing in lower register (which bass is intended for) requires more focus on the chord notes played on downbeats rather than playing random scale notes. Great approach anyway.

I really love all your vids and content Anthony, but could you talk more about the rhythmic side of phrasing instead of such an emphasis on harmony??..or maybe do a part two to this harmony vid??
@AnthonyMuthurajah
@AnthonyMuthurajah 5 жыл бұрын
Thanks Paul! To be honest with you, there's barely any proper harmony/melody based lessons for bass guitar, let alone bass solos. Hence, my primary focus is on that. If i am not mistaken, I have done rhythmic phrasing lessons in the past. Please look at the rest of the channel and dig it out! Cheers!
