Been watching for years and went through first course few weeks ago. Literally increased my comprehension and skills from Sunday to Sunday. Every week was gradual and noticeable change in every worship set. Definitely enrolling in the this one

I’ve always raked leading with index as it’s the stronger finger for me and and the timing is so much tighter on the one or the downbeat. When practising within a band setting - make the time to play through the songs WITH JUST YOU AND THE DRUMMER. No other instruments - for me that sharpens your tightness no end. If you can’t play the whole song without the other parts - you don’t know yours!

@freezetheatlantic2 жыл бұрын
@@stephenpretti984 It’s invaluable. It should change what you’re playing and how because you will finally actually hear all the accenting or kick drum placings you couldn’t hear when jamming it out with the whole band. You can then lock in with those accents and rhythmic pointers to emphasise what the groove is meant to feel like. You and the drummer should be symbiotic. You’re the foundations everyone else builds on so make it a solid as you can!

For me somehow the stronger finger was the middle. But I really tried hard to get both fingers close in the raking ability. Now I sometimes wonder what my stronger finger was LOL :-)

I did the the course last year. Highly recommended,. it fixed some of my bad habits and now I'm playing cleaner and faster like Scott says. I think the course price is great value for what you get out of it, provided you put in the work.

I've been working on raking for about 10 months. It was really awkward at first, needing to be really deliberate on short scale descents, and be sure to focus on timing too. Gradually worked up to all strings, full scale, and metronome. I.e. the 10-day technique challenge! I almost don't have to think about it any more, but descending drills are still quite useful, and a great warm-up.

Richard Bona is so good and sweet!! but I caught you Scott, you have already done a lesson on this very imperative technique (which I elaborated naturally) and I agree with you, it's never a bad thing to recall everyone the fondamentals and all the things that we cannot avoid to get better!! learning comes through repetition isn't it? I often go watch your old videos cause learning is so vaste....you're thje best bass teacher on youtube (other are good too) but I really do like how clear is your pedagogy , how you see music and bass in general, and how you can give advices for all different kinds of players, level, styles etc..and you have no musical prejudices, it's very open and I very enjoy it (like you can recognize the genius in Jaco as well as in Aston Barrett or any other good bass player in any kind of music..that's how you recognize a true music passionate)

The reason when I started playing music again and didn't pick up the guitar again, was simply. I prefer to use my fingers on my right hand to dominate the strings and groove! Not my left hand, I have little idea what I'm doing on the fret board, and I'm not good with a pick! Plus 4 strings and an amp can shake the house!
@StewartBrand852 жыл бұрын
This was actually the one thing that I stuck at when going through the start of Scott's courses, even more than a lot more advanced stuff. I just couldn't get it so just stuck with alternate. Not much chance Scott would think I was a great bassist but it's worked for me to the level I'm happy with.

Hi Scott and i love the shed style better! And I am a Raker too.I have always lead with my middle,and I lead with that for raking too.i am a big fan of Mohini Dey too and she is great at this. BUT my question is -if you use raking a lot ,isn't there a logical danger that in pursuit of 'better ' facility,you'll end up predominantly using descending licks/phrases ?

Thank you, Mr. Devine for this video. I've played bass since 1978 but I still want to learn. If I don't then I'll be stagnent, yes? About technique: I don't try to play at 180mph. I focus on the bass drum. And one of my personal techniques is to do something that any bass player, new or experienced, can do. I often will cut off my note just as the snare drum hits. That gives the drums (my other half) more emphasis when I play my note and then cut off my note just milliseconds before the SD hits. Thank you for your videos! Keep 'em coming. And the shirt looks great!!

I did the course last year. It improved my playing a lot. Some things you might underestimate ...for example: practicing accenting notes like "on the 1", then on the 2 and so on. Accents on triplets, and on groups of 5. It gives so much to your precision, timing and speed. And in Scotts course is a ton more of such helpfull stuff. Be sure to do ALL of the exercises to get the full benefit from the course.There is not one exercise you should skip! Enjoy beeing a better bass player! ;-)
