For me, Josh is just the best online bass teacher I was on the BaseBuzz course about a year ago and I enjoyed every minute of it It was just like having a (hilarious) friend who's teaching and motivating you all the time I attended several courses (bass and guitar) but this one was by far the best Haven't had so much fun learning since Wish he would start another bass or guitar course Highly recommended Greetings from Hamburg!

Hi Josh, another Josh here I am severely hard of hearing, and I am more of a drummer than a bassist, and I just got a beginner bass and am teaching myself (trying to) to play Do you have any videos or are willing to make one that is more of a hands-on approach? I learn things differently than most Your videos are super simple and easy to understand, yet I still struggle due to the way I learn things Any advice?

Wow so just picking up the bass your fingers automatically know how to move!!!!! Wow
Comment from : @okredearth68

On all the cord charts the neck is upside down , making it very confusing ! The E String should have been on top ,and so on !

Josh, I want to learn the bass, can I pay you for lessons, and if so, how does that work, I can tell you a bit about myself, if you are interested in what I’m saying, lm kinda, under a little time frame, based on stuff going on with me, lmk

Comment from : @rocha2333

I found that on day 3, if you use any other finger on the seventh fret that isnt your pinky, the sound would come out half muted
Comment from : @EthanMuller-eb1th

Listen, its a scientific proven fact that you play better on newer and more expensive bass guitars So i have to keep buying Ya know, to get better at bass
Comment from : @drop830

I'm in love with you I have been playing acoustic guitar for the last 10 years and I finally had a chance to buy a bass ( I was thinking about buying a eletric guitar, but I saw a used bass for sale with an amp and everything) and I couldnt be more happy So simple, I'm doing so good and I can finaly understand and hear the teorical shirt that never got a chance to get inside my mind playing the same old chords in the acoustic guitar Thank you for the classes !
Comment from : @andgoulart

My middle and index finger make really different sound Any way to figure how that happen and how to improve ? Thanks a lot
Comment from : @bryantang1234

Comment from : @xbjrrtc

As a drummer, learning the bass, that count to 4 joke hurt 🙃
Comment from : @Jayqs98

N00b Josh is hilarious 😂
Comment from : @biffjohnson7107

THANKS Josh I've been a want- a- be player for most of my 67 years With multiple stringed devices and professional players in the family I'm a video engineer with a history of live sports productions and commercial production YEARS ago You're ( in my opinion ) incredible with your presentation and style great info with humor I've pulled the gifted PBASS from the crowded closet No luck needed just time and commitment between work gigs Thanks again
Comment from : @MK-hn2pd

I keep trying but bass just isn’t fun……why?
Comment from : @bigfoot-id8bv

I'm interested now Why a giant banana?
Comment from : @TSMoran

I wrote a song called Hey Jewed It starts our "hey Jewed, please don't get mad, take a bad song and make it badder"
Comment from : @spacerangerace

I haven’t played bass in 20 years and this is for sure helping knock the rust off (Wasn’t great to begin with)

Someone gave me a bass like 2 years ago and it’s just been sitting in a corner And the other day someone gave me amp for no reason… soo I guess I’m learning the bass now??
Comment from : @6clanker6

Play the dots he says, mind blown 15 years, of sucking, and ive never heard that
Comment from : @ghote5605

Josh is truly the best bass instructor! His course is amazing and his video are not only entertaining but motivating as well! Do yourself a favor and buy his course! Thanks Josh for all your awesome instructing!
Comment from : @carlvanderweyden9527

So thanx sir I am from bangladesh
Comment from : @Musicpanel-cg6lv

Damn I feel like I am missing something, having followed along with your newbie playlist for a week and now being on day 3 of this video I cannot play around man, i cannot even reliably hit a note I want to hit, and certainly not at any reasonable speed How these other newbies are playing along to the provided backing tracks are beyond me I'm going back to the first video

Just starting my journey moving over from the dark side lead guitar
Comment from : @oneeye39

I have been playing bass for long time but it feels like it was just random playing, the way you explain it makes me wanna learn more you just simplify it better, thankyou
Comment from : @DwayneBanda-me2ff

Hey Josh I know this lesson was a wee bit ago But not as long as my first steps with the bass (1986 or 87) What and how you explain is just great I would have wished for a teacher like you when I was 17 years old You can still learn something even as an old fart I came across your videos because I'm trying to teach someone how to play bass But since I have neither the patience nor the drive, I'll take your videos Thank you
Comment from : @michaeljungo6918

Wow, fantastic tutorial I just got my first bass and your video is awesome Made my own riff in 2 minutes after watching your video and learning Creep
Comment from : @PhysifistEngineering

awesome pedagogy and humor haha love it! thanks
Comment from : @alextrejo307

You don’t even know Drummers have to syncopate some crazy shitbrThey have to be able to count to at least 16 🤓
Comment from : @Tidbitexe_07

Josh, I don’t know if it’s just me, but I can’t seem to finger pluck without catching my nails on the end of the pluck I’ve cut them as far as I can and sanding them down to no avail Does it sounds like a technique issue?
Comment from : @Levi-xg1fz

I have to agree with other people you are truly bad AZZ,,, you're super comical at which keeps the stress down for me as a beginner ☺️☺️☺️
Comment from : @brandontruelove4638

This guy is hilarious and a genius! Keep up the good the work champ! Appreciate you
Comment from : @marionlumbang

I know all you bass players will shout me down but as a non player why does it look like bass players only play the top two strings?
Comment from : @choochoochooseyou

I dont really understand why when i press down and play it makes a buzzing sound Any tips?
Comment from : @smiltt2670

nice shirt boss
Comment from : @bumbo7196

your vudeos and contents is so great, my fav is when you randomly talk about the subscribe!!
Comment from : @2venuz

My only formal music instruction has been with piano so you can imagine the focus on "The prescribed correct set of notes" that is a song Coming from that and trying to get my autistic brain to understand how you mentally approach playing bass it feels almost improvisational, especially playing to popular songsbrAm I on the right track here? Piano is very precise and there's a black and white distinction between correct and incorrect for playing a song, but Bass looks more like "Groove out in the background staying between the lines of good and bad practices, but having a lot of leeway to just jam out"
Comment from : @Boredom_Incarnate

I've been playing bass for almost an entire year and just now found out I've had the wrong technique the entire time and have to re teach myself everything that I was so proud of :(
Comment from : @lylabryce5793

So, I watched this video and discovered that I was exceptionally good at TASTELESS WANKING! brSo, I've decided to take Josh' online course!
Comment from : @catzdollz9810

My son and I are learning bass together, this channel is far superior to any others we have found
Comment from : @TheD00m5L43R

Comment from : @fbcx

Comment from : @משחקיםעםלניואבא

I have been working through the Bass to BadAss course and love it! I do have some music knowledge, but Josh really takes things to the next level! An amazing teacher, has worked hard to deliver great content, brings forward so much skill and expertise, and OMG, I laugh out loud during every single session I am forever grateful that I came across this course! It has been a life changing experience Thanks Josh!
