Thank you!
You are very helpful for piano players’ left hand too!
Thank you . Just a beginner bass player. That loves jamming with folks.
I'm a guitar player turned bass player…..you very shown me more in two videos than the dozens of other guys….
I can't believe what I'm seeing: a bass channel about playing real music, not slapping/popping/soloing/improvising and endless, tedious exercises!
As a guitarist newly-turned bassist, the way you showed the connection to what guitarists do was sooooo helpful! Subscribed!
Big Duck Dunn fan here! Very helpful video. Just ordered your book..Looking forward to reading it????
I think I'm going to check you book out, PS excellent,well played
A neat and informative tutorial.
As a beginner, I can't keep up with your lesson without a better visual of exactly which note your on. Saying to play a F# without giving a string and fret position slows me down to a crawl finding the right note. Hopefully I can get faster and be able to return to this lesson.
Long time guitar player, just landed a gig as a bassist. I like your style!
I just came from your t bone shuffle video…. Now I just wanna bring my guitar over and hang out with you…lol
Got it yah
Whoa! A Mike Lull bass. Used to get guitar setups by MIke several centuries ago. You play it well.
I want one…and the bass is nice too
❤❤❤ Duck Dunn forever! Actually Duck loved sliding into the 6th of the chords. Thanks Ryan for covering the great Donald Duck ????
Cool Duck Dunn lesson. And you didn’t even need the the pipe.
Bought your book “Bass Players To Know: Learning From The Greats” . SUPER READ!
All right Ryan Madora!! WAY to GO!! (Duck Dunn IS one of my all-time favorites!!)Thank you so much for this lesson!! I just subbed to your very cool Channel–I'm soooo glad I found you again!! This is so exciting for me… I stopped my very expen$ive Ba$$ Blue$ le$$on$ just when Covid hit, around March 2020. Then tried playing w/a Blues band (that had 3 other Bass players [all guys] besides 'me' in my Northern California city… (I sort of got intimidated bc I'm not a very good Bass player.) But/and things were so different & difficult… I just put the Bass away for a couple of years. I even picked up my old Martin guitar & thought maybe I should take guitar lessons again…(& in addition bought an old Gibson acoustic from 1968…).
But I just had to get back to the Bass, which I just played for the 1st time in many many many months. (I've got a Gibson Thunderbird Special issue & I played along w/a recording of 'Mellow Down Easy'; gosh I love the Bass!! Thank you so much for these video lessons! I started taking Blues lessons on my son's Fender JazzBass when he was traveling to Southeast Asia for about 7 months after he graduated from college. Thanks again & I hope to be back soon to watch/be inspired by/play another one of your superb & awesome videos very soon!!
we could all learn a lot from Duck Dunn!
Subved
What does shuffle mean… about to. Get a bass. Again. Guitar player
really enjoy your lessons…..thank you
Straight up excellent!
Love your clear explanations. Thank You
as a small handed bass player I appreciate how much more work you have to do to get to all the notes but you make it look easy. I'm sure you are an inspiration to many.
What you are calling "dead note" seems to me to be playing the open string. Maybe just sounds that way.
How do you mute the A string from ringing out when playing the sixth and fifth on the IV and V chords? With the tip of the index finger? It's pretty easy to use the thumb of the plucking hand on the I chord…
Happy Practicing!!!!!
Muy buena lección y muy linda la bajista. 🙂
Great video! I'm a HUGE Duck fan!
you remind of my granddaughter, simply the best bass teacher on the web,i will hop over to true fire and buy your
course for my wonderful wife,

Thank you. Going to give it a try. ????
Hey! I stumbled upon this video and then I recognised you! From where? I saw you play with Robben Ford in Maastricht in The Netherlands in 2018. I like your bass playing! (Y)
Nice lesson, thanks.
Other Great Video. Thanks. We can use more videos on true fire. : )
The DUCK ! Always a good example ????Nice job, Ryan ????????
Oh wow thank you so much I play a lot of funk and soul and R&B , and old rock music at my friends house and this lesson really helps me get off the root note and start moving over the fretboard ????, also could you please tell me about how you learn to play the bass guitar, or how you went about learning it, completely by ear?or by some type of teacher or school??thank you so much
