Musashimonkey Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Lots of you guys mention using YouTube to practice bass. Does anyone have any tips for searching for the best material? Any channels to recommend and follow? I'm open to a wide range of... well, anything! (Bass related). Many thanks in advance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) I've been watching this guy recently. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqbxybR6Q6Y[/media] I reckon my slap technique has improved more in the last 2 weeks than in the previous 10 years. It's not just slap though, he covers a load of stuff. Edited December 19, 2015 by Cato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spectoremg Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Scott Devine isn't crazy about slap and therefore gets my vote! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameronj279 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 [quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1450559395' post='2933963'] Scott Devine isn't crazy about slap and therefore gets my vote! [/quote] He's still pretty bloody good at it which is handy if you do watch those lessons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musashimonkey Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Thanks for your advice guys, I'll check out your recommendations. Anything else particularly useful on YouTube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobiewharton Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Some of the best teaching I've seen is by Richie Blake at music college tv. Thirty-odd succinct lessons cover basic theory and technique through useable drills and analysis. I imagine there's something of value to most there.

NickD Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 As well as those mentioned above, I really get on with the Marlow Dk stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 [quote name='NickD' timestamp='1450778448' post='2935694'] As well as those mentioned above, I really get on with the Marlow Dk stuff. [/quote] This ... absolutely this. I love Scott Devine's stuff, but Marlowe DK (http://playbassnow.com/) is the guy who really floats my bass-playing boat.

Duckspeak Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Bear in mind that we all learn differently so I would look at all the good recommendations above and then pick the one you feel the most comfortable with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameronj279 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) My honest recommendation would be to just spend a day and find someone on there who suits you. There are a few teachers on YouTube who I just don't get anything from. When I was just starting out Dmanlamius was a huge help.
