Prelude #1 For Bass Guitar (J.S.Bach) – Improve Your Technique (and everything else!)
This week we’re taking a look at the Prelude in C from the Well Tempered Clavier by J.S.Bach. This piece is fantastic for developing many aspects of bass technique – especially position shifting! We’ll be working through the first section of the piece and breaking down all the technical hurdles as well as the harmony.
The Prelude In C Study Piece Coaching Course is now available over at the Talkingbass website:

I learned this by ear in the 80s from Stu Hamm's version. At the time I did not know that Stu uses a LOT of hammer-ons, which might have helped at the time.
Why not make some music along the way? The right notes in the correct order, at a steady tempo constitutes only a melody. It doesn't actually become 'music' until the individual notes lose their independent consequence in course of a lyrical exposition. Even famous classical 'melodies' must receive this treatment or fail in music.
Of course, if its your 'intended' goal to impress with 'technique', you're not a musician yet anyway, just an 'instrumentalist'; albeit a capable one, whose consequence is derived from the admiration of hobbyist/amateur's audible recognition that you have, machinelike, defeated the mechs of technique.
Ciao sono un ragazzo italiano. La parte sulle armoniche non mi è ben chiara la diteggiatura dell' arpeggio da fare lì. Dato che si vedono gli accordi e basta
You can find tabs for the whole pice on you tube, for FREE ,you dont have to pay 49 $
Love this. Nothing like the lane poor pickup sound. Glad they brought them back from the dead. If only we can get bach back
When my curriculum sports and games and having football shoes at primary ???? and secondary ???? academic performance UPSR ( 2004) 1C,4B and PMR ( 2007) 4C,3B after I finished my biggest SPM ( 2009) I will not going back with my mother at her small towns liked LAWAS . I will stayed at Kuching Sarawak's City's and find a Job's at Supermarket Everrise BDC Kuching Sarawak's City's starting on 1 First January's 2010. Worked as sale's assistant, storekeeper and Cashier's with minimum salary RM 600 and opening account ???? with identity card number and buying a new wallet.
Tuning the melody sounds rhythms nicely

My bass has only 18 frets and frets 15-18 are not easily reachable. So I drop measures 10-16 down an octave with the bass note in measures 10 to F#. Works well enough though the bass line has a different flavor to it.
I know obviously the lesson is meant for 4 string, but is it also set up for 5 string bass as well, or would I need to make my own adjustments.
That is incredible, I really loved your ‘classical bass rendition.’ I’d love to know how long did it take you to get this down pat? Luv to hear your Ravel’s Bolero!
Beautiful
Thank you for this. This song actually brings tears to my eyes. And the fact that's so 'easy' to play with your video to help out makes me very happy.
Mark is probably the only channel that helps me learn in the traditional way, I appreciate his Druid-like Bass skills
I definitely feel like i always learn something new and exciting on your channel. As a beginner these lessons have really been crucial to helping me develop my playing technique.
Класс! Её удобнее играть на 5-струнном басе. Влезает много нот в одной позиции. Спасибо!
Ring out vrs joint barring.
Ring out.
The joint barring is interesting.Its sounds better to let the last 3 notes" ring put" .
Muchas gracias por la lección, Thanks For the Lesson!!! A Big hug.
Exactly! So many "funky rhythms" out there, this is a gem.
Wow! That is beautiful but difficult!
Not bass playing though is it !! Just Fukin about! ????
Very cool!
A new pet product, classical is enjoyable to learn. Cheers Mark. ????
Great lesson Mark. What do you think about using 2nd and 3rd fingers instead of barring and rolling the G to the C on the 10th frets. I can do it both ways, it’s just a position I’m more used to playing and can do it smoother.
Once we master this course we can then start practicing playing it without looking at the fretboard.
Your the best man really helped alot as a beginner
