Awesome transcriptions, thanks for sharing them!

Simple suggestion, have you ever tried using your ring and little finger to mute the lower strings? It's an unusual technique but I have a similarly shaped thumb to yours and I've found it very helpful. So if you had a 5 string and your thumb is resting on the A string, you could have your ring finger muting the E string and your little finger muting the low B. I've showed this to some of my students who have had similar problems and a few found it helpful (most just found it horribly uncomfortable). Because everyones' hands are totally different there is no one technique that can work for everyone. Trial and error is the key

I'll hope to keep the videos/transcriptions coming. Here's an easy one for this week. Maybe one to try and sing whilst playing...? Love some good palm muting with a pick though... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wco8ln6H64

Got a fun new one out this week https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9ImXYTsIJs

I recently started a new Youtube "series" if you will, called BassTranscriptions. The idea is to promote the use of actual transcriptions in notation as opposed to TABs (grrrr) as well as sharing what I think are some really cool basslines with the world. Below is the latest video I've put out: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa2C0gf4lls"]https://youtu.be/aa2C0gf4lls[/url] All of the videos are also on my website [url="http://www.bengoldingbass.com/basstranscriptions/"]HERE[/url] along with the transcriptions linked below. I've been sharing these amongst friends and used them to test my students on their reading skills but I thought that maybe someone on here would be interested...? Worst case it's some free transcriptions It's also a sort of challenge I've set myself to put one of these out every Wednesday evening to get into a work flow with the view of putting some more musical content up on the channel soon (thinking live play-along tracks, some live band recordings, musician podcasts, etc...). Any feedback at all would be welcomed, good or bad. I'm just getting a feel for it all right now

Hey guys, I finally got round to uploading a recording a few friends and I did last november at my "home studio". We got carried away and ended up doing a 10minute long take of one of our favourite songs : Can't Wait for Perfect by Bob Reynolds. I really love playing bass especially in these kinds of scenarios where you're just laying the foundation down for someone else to build upon. It just doesn't get much better than that in my eyes. I would love any form of feedback, good or bad, on anything to do with this video since I did all the production and editing too Cheers!

Hey guys, Since I've been listening to Vulfpecks new Fugue State EP on repeat for the past couple of weeks I thought I'd go ahead and transcribe some of Joe Dart's tasty bass playing on it. The transcribing turned out to be easier than playing the damn thing in one take! Apologies if there are any mistakes in my playing on the video...
