   George(BassLessonsOnline),

   Do you think you are a better bass player than Doug Pinnick,Victor Wooten or Matt Freeman?

   I just did a search and found a good video on the topic by MarloweDK. We can’t post links here, but I’m sure you will easily find it.

   Bass of Luck!

    Hello and thanks for your comment and questions.

    10ths are explained in my video titled “Learn Bass Chords in 10ths”.

    3rds are explained in my video titled “Free Beginner Bass Lesson Video – Chord Theory”.

    Enjoy your new learnings!

    Hello

    Soft flatwound strings (such as I use on several of my You Tube videos – those with the orange P-Bass) are easier on fingers and frets. The low mid-range is more emphasized (more punchy) and the highs have much less “zing”.

    Depending on your taste and the music you play, this had advantages and disadvantages … and the only way to find out – as usual – is to do your own tests.

    The split coil in neck position will produce more of a P-Bass sound – a bit “thicker”.

    Hello George. I’m a beginner at bass, but my friends all say im a quick learner. I was wondering a few things, what is the difference between roundwound and flatwound strings (not technically, just to the bass, sound, and to your fingers) and also, do you think i should change my fender jazz bass’s neck pickup to a split coil? i was wondering what the difference between them was. Thanks for reading, and thanks for the great videos!

    Yes, you can do exactly the same on a 5-string bass.

22. BassLessonsOnline says:

    January 6, 2011 at 02:46

    Does this only happen on my videos?

    George
23. BassLessonsOnline says:

    January 6, 2011 at 03:43

    I don’t do tabs. Most of my You Tube videos are explained well enough (possibly after several views) to get the frets, strings, notes etc.

    Hello, I don’t know exactly what you mean. The sound is quite normal and the technique is explained in the video.

    Thanks for checking in.
    My step-by-step Beginner series of Bass Lessons Online can easily be used by left-handed players – just use the “mirror image” approach.
    Also, especially in the early stages of my lessons, I often make relevant and useful suggestions for left-handed players (also for 5 and 6-string bass players).

    This is one of e few videos I recorded in full stereo mode, where the voice is on one channel and the bass on the other.

    Please check your computer/stereo settings to get either both channels or mono.

    Good luck!

    Yes “double stop” is a classical term, meaning to play two notes simultaneously on a stringed instrument.

46. BassLessonsOnline says:

    This video is recorded with the voice and bass on separate channels. The bass is quite loud, on the right channel.

    Please check you system setup.

    for your information, some people (including myself) actually enjoy listening to people explain the theory that is used behind music. Go play your power chords to your pop punk music..
