Bought an e-bass a few years ago, but rarely practiced with it, and just stumbled across your channel after selling my guitar recently, and * subscribed * to your channel immediately because I don't want to have to unlearn bad habits.

I used to play too many notes! Cooled it down and now stick to bass!

Love the tips. <br>As a bass player for a while now, my favorite thing in the world is syncing up with a great drummer and just laying it down.

Dropping the thumb is a good tip for guitar players also.

This was interesting. I am a bassist and this is some great advice here. And a good reminder for bassists too.

Not switching to bass, I record with bass and guitar. I have appreciation for a good bass player. People ask me if I play bass, I say "Well I can play one but I'm not a bassist" They look at me funny LOL.

Been watching you for a few years now, it's so great to see you back doing this. I'm not sure if you lost your passion for YouTube, but you seem so much more invigorated, like all your passion has come back for it. Also your sense of humour is really showing through which is so great to see. Always appreciate you doing these for us, you have helped me a lot.

I'm a guitar but no bass . I know guitar players that used to play bass and they don't use a pick but finger strumming ( I love it).
