Being a professional studio musicianmy suggestion is that you learn all of these tips that she's teaching you but you will find that the most important tip that you need to learn is when not to use this stuff. many times I've gone into the studio and have an idea about what I wanted to play and then had the producer want me to play something that was so simplistic that it was almost impossible to make it groove. if you can make 'simple' groove you have a better chance of becoming an actual working musician than if you have the greatest chops in the world but don't know how to apply them correctly or keep it simple.

So I recently picked up the bass after playing guitar for 25 years, and found myself naturally adding ghost notes when I was playing and wondered if I was starting a bad habit. Good to know I wasn't, haha. Thanks for the great lesson.

I love playing ghost notes. They can make your rythym much more percussive and funky. I also like your suglasses you look cool and adorable!😊

Solid advice. I'd like to add tip 0. Practice everyday. I played at least four hours per day for the five years. And if you have to force yourself to practice or it seems like a hassle to do so, you may not really have what it takes--the love of playing the bass. :)

Yonit, thank you!!! I started watching your tutorials before I even bought a bass, and felt so ahead of the curve when I finally got one off Craigslist. I don't feel like I struggled much as a beginner because I could hear your advice in my head, so I already knew solutions to problems. So I guess you can say you inspired me to be a bassist! It's also inspiring to learn from other female musicians. I'm four months in now and keep learning so much from your vids. Keep it up! Cheers from SC.

The sunglass symbolism is a sign of profoundly creative ingenuity at work - it removes any potential for doubt by pointing directly to what is better, and what is cooler.

Superb tutorial again - thank you!

Good tips if you want to go from a beginner to an intermediate or advanced player.
But the fact is if you play for nothing you're amateur. If you play for money you're a professional. Many amateurs are brilliant. Many professionals are terrible.
But these are still great tips!

I am no----here close to being a pro but I seem to naturally follow your three tips ---sometimes I have doubted myself about how I play ---you have vaqlidated my confidence in my bass playing.

This is new for me. Been playing guitar for 60 years and bass for 60 minutes. LOL

When I started playing Bass in the 70s they said Girls can't play cause their finger are to small, HAHAHA, what a silly thing to say, even with small fingers women make wonderful musicians and they are a pleasure to watch - YO blessings to you sis and if your a girl thinking about playing BASS go for it!

Depending on the song and band, DO NOT ALWAYS PLAY GHOST NOTES. They are amazing and work in a lot of situations, but in a lot of blues and punk bands, they want straight notes or in the case of blues, they might want the upright sound which is a mellow, simple sound. Yes, it will sound cooler, sometimes it is necessary, but don't go trying to play Columbia era Miles Davis with all of that fancy stuff.

That, my friend, is a good video to bring the little things to your attention. When i was a beginner, i "tricked" a lot of people into thinking i was better than I actually was just by using ghost notes. I didn't realize it was a thing actually.
