My fellow bassists,

Once again it is up to you to determine the direction of this month's bass education... Choose wisely! And this month you CAN choose more than one option!

Brandon Williams

still strumming. I just can't get that snappy muted sound yet.

Nealblues

The catchiest bass solo full practice video please!

איתי דגן

I would personally like a, for example, 30 min workout plan for fingerstyle or slap where you show different exercises and the order to do them. I know that bernth has made a lot of these kind of videos for guitar and i think we need one for bass as well

Dana Johnson

Effects for clear tapping, how to dial in a sound

Adrian Moore

90 minute daily practice routine challenge. "Do this every day for a month and post results in October"

Adrian Moore

Moving between chords seamlessly

Adrian Moore

Using space in your basslines

Trash Yacht

I struggle so much on mixing bass! Would love to see how you setup for your sounds and recording

Hey, that'd be cool. But isn't anything a sight reading challenge if you've never played it?

Ralyks
>>148580544

That would be a good community challenge. Come join us in the Community Forum! I'm currently working through S L A P P by Davie504. Would be cool to post what I've got now and update it in a month. I'd love to see what others are working on too. I've only been playing Bass for 8mos now, but some of the guys in the forum have been playing for years and even decades.

The Collections tab kinda already has what you're looking for. There's beginner Tap and Slap videos, through to Advanced. I think some more Intermediate songs/etudes would be the most helpful.

How new are your strings? I put some new GHS Bass Boomers on and WOW did that make a difference

Brandon Williams
>>148577712

They were really new when I started trying it out, so I can't get away with blaming them lol, I think it's just my technique.

Brian Anderson

fretting seamlessly between chord changes , Are there any good lessons that teach how to have your fretting hand in the proper place?

Hey Charles if how to use harmonics in a song wins for this month would you also consider doing a tutorial video series about the different types of harmonics that can be achieved as in natural, artificial, tapped, sliding, pinch & the Jaco thumb harmonics in Birdland & most importantly how to figure out the names of the notes of each harmonic wherever they may be, it's just something I've always been curious about and never understood which notes I was playing, thank you

The Fingerstyle etudes and speed training exercises Charles has given us in the past few months are great for this

Ralyks

😅 facts. I've got what I feel are small and achievable goals for now and will be ecstatic if I can achieve them. For now, I'd be happy with learning a small collection of impressive pieces and really polishing them. Those crowd pleasers will be my Warm-Up exercises so that I always have something awesome I can pull out of my bag of tricks whenever the need to impress arises. I think that will really help me perfect my abilities in regard to basic technique and groove.

LoL. Well, I'm just a Beginner myself so I probably can't offer much meaningful advice, but one thing that may help...I posted a Bass Challenge in the community section. Post a video of what you're working on and in 30days post a new video. Hopefully, it could be an encouragement to you, and provide a measure of accountability that inspires you to diligently practice. I posted my own, terribly embarrassing video. Then I spent 6hrs straight practicing the song. Took a break and sat back down for another 2hrs. Haven't recorded the difference yet, but I feel like that one day of solid practice hugely improved my abilities. A little public shame goes a long way

Ralyks

Charles, on your next post, would you be so kind as to remind everyone, and hype up a bit, the Community section? There's a handful of us that are active in there, but I feel like a little more awareness and engagement would benefit everyone, especially the beginner to intermediate players like myself.

Some exercises about Hammer-On & Pull-Off would be nice!!! Finger style

Luke Geister

More ear training videos please!
