I hope this lesson helped you learn bass scales… and didn’t activate your LEGO Acquisition Syndrome too hard 🧱

I’m now convinced Josh is an alien brHere’s the evidence: he has 6 fingers on his left hand Noob Josh is his Clark Kent identity And no human in history has ever been able to distill the essence of music theory and present it in its most effective form br🙇🏻‍♂️

“bassist, do a solo!”brsaid no one, ever
Comment from : @nunkeytron

This is a great video
Comment from : @lockdownudein

Played cello all through school (decades ago LOL), been playing bass for about a month This is exactly what I was looking for to link my experience in orchestra with the few songs I've learned on bass With this and your Beginner Bass Lesson #1, I feel like I've been given the fundamentals that I'll utilize and build on for the rest of my bass playing time, and in an entertaining and digestable format Thank you so much!! Hope that Fender was a fun build, you deserve it!
Comment from : @peterandon3052

Thanks ! This has been confusing to me for so long
Comment from : @ashtonhiatt6933

This video is so helpful, I can't believe I haven't seen it earlier
Comment from : @arnovandermerwe1512

Thank you so much for making these videos! I've been learning bass for 2 weeks and thanks to this video, I've figured out how to play The Shire intro from LotR ALL BY MYSELF!!! And it's one of the best feelings ever! Keep doing this wonderful videos for noobs like me, we all enjoy them ❤

Mathematically, those random number generators are not truly random, but psuedo random Does it matter? No
Comment from : @lundsweden

Be a man and stop using short scale bass
Comment from : @MartinCollazos1978

I just wanted to say thank you for your amazing videos! I was really struggling and felt stuck with learning the bass, but your content has been a game-changer for me Your lessons are not only super clear and easy to understand, but your humor makes them so enjoyable to watch I’m seriously considering getting your online course! Keep up the great work, and thank you for all you do
Comment from : @TerezaPokorna-t4s

Thanks❤❤❤
Comment from : @EddieNMendozaJr

I’ve been playing bass for awhile now, mostly just seeing TABS and playing them But now I’m really trying to learn the basics and actually understand scales and what notbrbrIf you’re in the same boat as me- I feel like a good, pretty cool, song to figure out by ear is “When You Were Young” by The Killers I also think it’s a great song to practice your own lines because there’s plenty of play space to fill in! brbrIt’s E major and B major (at least for the bass)

Wait, wait, wait Bass AND Legos?! You may be my new favorite human
Comment from : @jakelilevjen9766

I like to use the bassline from the breakdown towards the end of I Want You Back by the Jackson 5 for a practice riff
Comment from : @zprince4120

This whole video is great but the advice of "dummy fretting" the open strings to convince yourself it's the same shape, that's just so great!
Comment from : @vdkylo7251

One of the most informative and useful lesson I've found! 💯
Comment from : @JonnyPOfficiel

amazed by the quality of your explanations :)
Comment from : @theo3586

The colour fingers helped 😂
Comment from : @TheAnnegallien

I grew up playing the cello at a young age, self taught myself the bass after graduating high school I’ve always played one finger per fret like you would play a cello It was just natural to me
Comment from : @TheDieselndust

Yes

This video just helpes me understand bass scales because I looked up bass scales and just got like picture but didnt understand how to make the scale longer thanks for the explanation
Comment from : @atomiccastle1917

Wrong, everyone knows as a stringed musician, you should always learn the minor pentatonic scales first brbrbrbr/s

Comment from : @Alex_Aceh

You really should do a bass teaching program of some sort!😉 Always great lessons, as usual
Comment from : @glennaffeld1794

I’ve waited for this video all my life!!! Thanks brother!!!
Comment from : @7storm776

I am at a loss for words I don’t even know what to really say This is the most insane video I’ve seen and after watching it I feel like I could just practice bass guitar for hours and hours This is literally what I was missing because honestly, I’ve been kind of trying to teach myself bass but it’s been either boring or I’ve been unmotivated but after watching this video it’s really lit that fired me to actually give this an honest try thank You
Comment from : @brianjean6438

the way you have fun making the video and the comments you do is really infectious, cheers Josh

Comment from : @kimbaptempura4073

I've been dreading to learn scales for over 20 years Because I was looking at a huge pile of Lego bricks You are a master of simplifying stuff like this and making it approachable for noobs like me You actually make me want to practice scales now!
Comment from : @RuudClaessen

Doin scales right nowHad to stop with a great headache This is how I got Lesson 4 and 5 in MOD4 completed It helped me do the fret board
