Dan Hawkins was born to be a great teacher. I'm glad he chose bass at some point because I wouldn't know half of what I know now.

Thank you SO much for patiently explaining and not skipping any steps for those of us who have never done this before and are trying to learn correctly! I’m spending a LOT of time just practicing a few moments at a time of this tutorial. This is EXCELLENT, high content teaching. I appreciate your teaching style so much.🥇💐

[keithbolger]

Good lesson. Practiced these ghost notes. Your method of playing certainly work really good. Thanks again Dan for showing me the way.😊

[funkytizzletelevizzl]

Oh this is really nice Motivation again. Sounds like it should. I love your style and approach as a teacher 👌

[BrianLannoye]

That's what I need to work on. Ghost notes when I'm plucking with fingers

[chinemeremjoseph]

I'm a beginner and don't just know what to do to play like you do one day !!
Please I need your help 🙏

[SwashBuccaneer]

This is a lesson I needed badly. For some reason, I have struggled so hard with ghost notes. No clue why.

[helderoliveiraillustration]

I´m doing your beginner course and I must say you're such a great teacher and communicator. The way you explain makes it look easy even when it's not. This extra videos are an excellent complement to the course. Thank you!

[vangelis.gavalakis]

Great video as always. Your tone is also fantastic. May I ask if the recordings are directly from the bass, or do you use something in-between (for tone I mean :) ). Cheers!

Thank you Dan. You’re the BEST teacher!

[mnkrantz]

Hi Dan. Looks like you have rounds on your MM. Is that correct?

[TheBlastoceros]

From Mar del Plata, Argentina. Your videos are the best. Thanks!

Rocco Prestia was truly the master of ghost notes!: I am certain Jaco built upon the foundation that Rocco grooved on for ages! This is a great lesson for those who are just getting into bass! Well done!

[dohdjeschwagneesh]

Thanks Dan!! it’s like you are a mind reader!! This is exactly what I have been wanting to work on lately, and I have been a subscriber for a while now! Love your videos!! -Chip in Tacoma, Washington

I'm a recovering ghost note addict. There's something to be said for playing nothing but clear, distinct, unambiguous notes. I still use them, just less often and more deliberately.

[Nakelp]

Great, but cant wait for some good lesson on harmonics

[BenD_Bass]

I love ghost notes. I just discovered that raking ghost note triplet thing, and I use it way too often

[jdmarino]

This was a very timely video. I'm learning the Sultans of Swing, and this is my first song with really noticeable ghost notes.

Thanks again Dan, truely great stuff. Currently waiting for USD/JPY to be somewhat reasonable so I can sign up to your basic bass lessons, it's time for me to progress.
