I've been playing bass for 8 years, self taught, and my fingers cant move like that. This tells me I need way more practice with finger movements. I'm glad I decided to start over.

I just finished the first exercise on my 6-string bass. I'm really glad it only took me 3 days.
Greetings from Brazil!

I'm a grown old person who picked up the bass and guitar about a year ago. I play every day for at least an hour and have watched god knows how many videos and tutorials..I discovered these 16 lessons about a month ago and while I can't get through them all smoothly yet they have helped me improve immensely

[stahlwerkrequiem]

I never really thought much of warming up exercises but I wanted to see if it might improve my playing, because I feel like I’m getting worse at playing, and it actually did. I will definitely do this a lot more. Thanks!

day one with a bass...."my fingers won't even make that shape".. as I stand at the foot of this mountain and peer up....

I don't know if you will ever read this but thank you so much for your Videos. You make it really simple to learn and you don't talk so much like the others. You are just doing it. Thank you!

*Start with quarter notes and then increase speed (Начинаем с четвёртых, затем увеличиваем скорость)

*Practicing slowly can improve your hand posture (Медленная практика поможет в постановке ваших рук)

*Try to keep your fingers close to the string (Старайтесь держать пальцы как можно ближе к струнам)

*That will help your speed and accuracy (Это способствует развитию скорости и точности, да и смотрится круче)

*Try to always put your fingers at the edge of the frets (Старайтесь всегда ставить пальцы ближе к краю лада)

*Alternating fingers in your right hand is important (Чередование пальцев правой руки - это очень важно)

*Place your right hand thumb in the strings to get support (Поместите большой палец правой руки на струны для опоры)

*Going back in the fretboard can be harder (Возвращаться назад по грифу может быть сложнее)

*Touch the fretboard with jast fingers, no hand (Касайтесь грифа только пальцами, не рукой)

*Don't waste energy on exaggerated hand movement (Не расходуйте энергию на широкие движения рук)

*First frets are frequently harder to play smoothly (На первых ладах труднее играть ровно)

*Once you're done, try eighth notes (Как только вы закончите, попробуйте восьмые ноты)

*Also you can try with 16th notes (Также вы можете попробовать 16-ые ноты)

This was actually really good, it was straight to the point but not too hard.
I don’t even have bass... I want one. But I don’t have one. I just love watching, taking it all in and focusing on one instrument to help sound out the music.

But hopefully I’ll get one soon :)

[claytonbill]

Thank you

I was looking for this.

No talk all walk.

Cheers

My left forearm is developping a sixpack after trying 3 times the last part... don't know about you guys.

[AnnickEudes]

I remember back when the 16th notes were way too fast for me...! It will all work out with practice.

[sojourner]

Best damn instructional with out attitude and hype. Just right to it. Thank you.

[harryflavell]

This channel has made me come on leaps and bounds with learning bass. Thanks

[kat]

I’m getting a bass April 9th and I’m binge watching your videos youre so helpful! Wish me luck ahhhh!!! I’m so excited ive wanted a bass for so long, thank you in advance!

[ironbite]

I have just started learning to play the bass with an instructor.  These lessons are fantastic in addition to my normal daily practice.  Looking forward to more!!  Thanks!

IF you can't play the faster speed, try and put the video in 0.75 speed.

[lazerkeyboard]

reminds me of the time when I was a 5 year band member in primary but decided to take a beginner's drum class to hang out with my crush lol but interestingly enough being brought back to the basics helped me apply that to what I already knew and I think I came out better overall lol & no I missed that shot entirely lmfao

[szaka]

16th notes too hardcorishh for begginer xD

Translate this:
Cara, você precisa chegar ao seu máximo até se cansar e seu braço e dedos começarem a doer...
Quando isso acontecer, pare de tocar e comece a fazer alongamentos com o braço e mãos.. BREATH AND START AGAIN! Toco Bass há 8 anos porém nos últimos 2, comecei a investir profissionalmente, espero que possa ser um FLEA algum dia :D
