I see already knowing guitar is very helpful because the only thing I really need to change is the plucking and that’s a lot easier than learning everything about the fret board

Just bought my first bass today (1 March 2025) a Yamaha TRBX174 in translucent black A real beauty I wanted to get the Fender Rumble 40 bass amp you recommend but my local regional music store doesn't stock Fender, so I will wait until my next trip to the city I am playing unplugged for now Thanks for this effective and fun beginner lesson I will work my way through the restbrEat And Drink Gravy/Guac/Ginger/Grapefruit

I'm trying to learn but my cat keeps on rubbing her head against me and my bass

This is the best bass YouTuber! He’s so good at explaining and it’s so organized! I love how you make sure and specify the instructions!❤
Comment from : @s0me0ne_y0u_can_trust

Guitar player exiled to the bass because nobody wanted to play it (or had large enough hands for a Jazz bass) Modern bass players sound meh to me Bass should FILL the bottom, not the treble! Nashville doubled a guitar with a bass for a while for a fuller sound (kinda like the mariachi guitarron)!

'gotta have a strap on'bri mean, he's got a point lol Also, i seen a comment about EADG string mnemonics, the way i got it and fave way of remembering EADG for me at least is: 'Eddie Ate Dynamite, Goodbye!' This might also be helpful for any other new beginners brYour videos are very funny, that is super effective with teaching stuff, as people will remember it so much better

I liked and subscribed when he asked me tobrbrI'm a trumpet player I studied in college and got pretty good (5 1/2 years yeehaw) I've had some things fall apart in life lately and I've come back to music at 33 I've been playing trumpet again and I've just gotten my first bass I chose bass because it's a monochromatic instrument rooted in harmony so it will help my theory chops and ears and groove and all that good shit Mostly I'm just looking forward to playing sabbath tunes I'll let you know how useful your shit is on my journey Thank you so much for your help man! Peace and love, brother!

Comment from : @definitelynotafox6262

I find that my plucking fingers create very different sound from each other My index is much brighter and a touch musically sharper, while my middle finger creates a more broad, round sound And my timing is all delayed and rushed and wonky Is there an exercise to practice correcting this?
Comment from : @drilonkennedy-gorne2049

Highly recommended I have tried many others and this is the best Josh keeps it very simple
Comment from : @SwedishMeatball53

First day of bass here, thank you
Comment from : @msspeckyy7494

Just starting bass, just received it today!!! Been watching BassBuzz videos for the last few days Earlier today, you should have seen my face light up at the end of this video when I was able to "play" the Radiohead song with you What an incredible feeling! It made me click and enroll in the Beginner to Badass course! Looking forward to having more smiles light up my face!

Comment from : @mobliegang3103

Coming from guitar and picking up bass now Much easier on bass to actually get to the point of playing along with music, even if your not doing anything but playing the root notes, its still fun and sounds good!
Comment from : @hc9987

Got to say, @14:19 even your random playing sounded pretty good! 😃
Comment from : @hc9987

Well that’s neat i played a bass
Comment from : @Evan-y8x

What backing track are you playing for the practice?
Comment from : @junnille2123

There’s a lonely bass sitting in my brothers room I’m gonna snatch after watching this
Comment from : @Theotokosregina

Comment from : @jamesbrand5777

That last part made me watch his other video 😂 (I bet it was all part of his plan)
Comment from : @beefytime1374

I already know this stuff, but I watch for Josh's faces, sound effects, and meme word spellings

Comment from : @graveyard7036

I just got my first bass today! It's late now but I can't wait to try this out tomorrow!
Comment from : @crimson_9692

This was a truly useful video I’ve been messing around on bass in a band for a year now and I learned more in this video than I did that whole time Thank you!

Comment from : @KeronMahon

Excellent !
Comment from : @MrSomnambuliste

10:07brbrFor a second I couldn't really hear the plucking because of the beat and got very confused onto the next step (I thought I was doing it very wrong, which I was mostly)brBut a bit after I could finally hear the plucking technique in the video brbrMaybe when you do these sort of videos you could take out the sound of the beat or lower it to help others My hearing is decent but if there's two things going on, I wanna know the part I need to focus more on :)
Comment from : @i_am_sketchy

This video was the final push I needed to decide I’m buying a bass
Comment from : @jesshayes3498

The "strap on" joke was Crrrazy lol
Comment from : @gabedrummerboy

I am interested in your channel however your background music is too loud and drowning out your Bass
Comment from : @stevegem4155

Do I have a bass? No brDid I just watch the whole video? Hell yes

Great video Probably the best for absolute beginners God bless!!
Comment from : @jrwlouis

Im suppose to be drawing dress to impress items for the valentines even but I’m here AND I DONT EVEN HAVE A BASS
Comment from : @C1nnomo

I’ve watched beginner tutorials for ukulele and guitar, but this bass tutorial hit differently Josh made me feel really comfortable as a beginner I think it’s because the video felt so down-to-earth compared to others Some tutorials can feel overwhelming or too intense, but this one was just great and not too complicated Perhaps the bass community is the chillest and I’m all here for it I’m excited to start on my bass journey :)

Comment from : @-strawberry_juice-

Thank you so much for your content I just got my first bass (first instrument ever) for Christmas and I’ve been glued to it for the past two days watching your videos to help me You are awesome!!!
Comment from : @ciarabrowning

I traded in my viola for a bass and have been loyally training on it every day, but my fingers are so stubby and short that it's hard to use my pinkie sometimes I'm gonna keep trying though!
Comment from : @sugarsodawithconfetti

wouldnt it be easier start playing with the closer notes instead of all the way to the end of the base?
Comment from : @antoniozurita1382

who was the guy having the bass low?
Comment from : @siedemdbb2238
