I contend that a bass is a bass and a guitar is a guitar even though people like to use the term”Bass Guitar”.Help my out someone.

@NecroHealth You might have busted the amp speakers

awesome

@NecroHealth i think you have a guitar amp or your cable is damaged.

@NecroHealth its either they way you are moving the volume/eq controls or the amp. Today i was either going to pick up a Marshall or Fender amp. The marshall was wat more distored so it may just be the make or something.

My bass-amp sounds really distorted, can anyone tell what that means?

Can you recommend any finger/hand exercises? I have trouble keeping my hand close to the neck. As a newbie I’m also having trouble spreading my fingers across several frets.

I’m new to any musical instrument and decided to try my luck with bass. I have an Ibanez Short Scale Bass, 28inch. Excellent instruction. I look forward to checking out your other lessons.

good stuff!

actually, you have your idea right, but flat and sharp symbols messed up
# is sharp
b is flat

i really didnt know ANYTHING about bass because i have a regular guitar and a regular guitar class, but suprisingly, its just like the last four strings with the same flats and sharps xDD i was afraid to learn bass because i thought it was going to be difficult ;o

William Shatner on Bass xD!

I love you.

because an a sharp can also be a b flat. if you look at a piano or keyboard you start to understand

hey,thank you for this lesson on bass. wight me if you can for info. keep on going . bye

A sharp or flat is relative to the notes around it. One half step above A is Ab (A sharp) and one half step below B is B# (B flat). So its the exact same note,

For example the 2nd fret on the 4th string (the E string) can be Fb or G# (F sharp or G flat)

same here dat why i went on google n song a pic to understand it lol

a good way to explain sharps and flats is with a piano. the white keys are regular notes, whereas the black upper keys are the sharps/flats.

did any1 else laugh when he said g string

@Rillim007 Sharp is a higher note whilst flat is lower. For instance the third fret is G so the fourth fret could be either G sharp as it is higher than G or it could be A flat as it is lower than the fifth fret which would be A

what is the difference between a sharp flat and normal note? he appears to be holding the same frets for sharps and flats cant quite understand this a little help would be appreciated thanks

i love all of your vids they help so much!!!!!

thanks

Also, the 5th fret on each string is the same note as the next open string, so 5th fret on E string is A, 5th fret on A string is D, 5th fret on D string is G. This also means that the 6th fret is the same note as the 1st fret on the next string and so on. Hope that helps.

There are only 12 notes: A, A#(#=sharp), B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, and then it starts back over at A. B and E are the only notes that don’t have a sharp note to them because B# would be C and E# would be F. The open strings are (from the one closest to you down) E, A, D, G. The 12th fret on each string is the same note as that string open, just one octave higher in pitch. A Bb (b=flat) is one semitone/halftone/halfstep(one fret) down (toward the headstock) and the same as A#.
