You’re my favorite bass teacher. And such a beast on the bass!!
I know this sounds crazy as it's introducing a 3rd thing but I'm just starting with this and find it seems easier when I tap out the beat with my foot as well as playing and singing I guess it's just the way the brain sorts and prioritises? or maybe the songs are too simple atm great video btw- Greetings from England
This really helps! Sometimes the line changes notes in the middle of a word, so practice, practice, practice. It's challenging but fun and worth it!
Great tip and great song.
i feel like your vocals should be heard more in your mix luv
So cute!
I always play the bass line to begin with, then the lyrics come next. ????????
Why so talented & pretty Alex? Life's unfair ????
Thank u thank u thank u
alex gehring the goat
This lady is so so lovely
She's automatically cool because she plays bass!
This was a fantastic tutorial. Many thanks to Ms. Gehring and Fender.
You are really awesome. I'm glad we share the same same
Do you wanna start a band?
The third step is actually a tip for life in its entirety…..the first two are like preaching to the choir….good to be reminded as well.
Great video. You are spot on with muscle memory vs. thinking about the part. And PRACTICE! I learned all 4 versus of "I've Been Everywhere" Asleep at the wheel version. I broke it into pieces, and practice sang while walking to work! The rhythm guitar part is simple though. Same theory, different instrument. Singing and playing bass is not easy for me. Now the cities just flow like water.
No, no, no. It’s simply not possible to sing and play bass at the same time! (haha). Unless you’re Geddy Lee, Chris Squire, Mark King, or… OK, I guess it is possible. ????♂️
In my experience, the hardest coordination was sing background vocals while playing a steady 1-5-1-5 line on the bass (9 to 5 by Dolly Patton) while often it was easier to sing over a melodic bass line.
Guttingly… 😛
You are …..delightful! I am an older guy in Texas who played standup bass a long time ago and switched to electric- never went too far with it/ but this ….made me Smile! -Thank you!!
