Macklaud Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Hi guys Just wondering what are the best instructional bass dvd's out there from begginer to expert Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddy Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I don't think there are any that I would recommend that cover he range of beginner to expert. Nathan East 'The Business of Bass' is really good. Victor Wooten 'Groove Workshop' has some really good stuff in it.Jeff Berlin 'Bass Logic from the Players School' is interesting,he speaks a lot of sense. Jaco Pastorius 'Modern Electric Bass' is good. Billy Sheehan's old videos 'Bass Secrets' and '..On Bass' are good. Alexis Sklarevski 'The Slap Bass Program' is cool. Rocco Prestia 'Fingerstyle Funk' is good. Rufus Reid 'The Evolving Bassist' is excellent. The thing with DVD's is that many of them are really more entertaining than they are educational. Sure,you may pick up the odd fancy lick or something, but most of them are just good fun watching a favourite player do their thing. Some of them are dreadful though (I'm looking at you Flea,with a glance towards John Entwistle). I've got loads of DVDs and Videos,but they are no substitute for a teacher. I'm waiting for someone to do a bass equivalent of Tommy Igoe's excellent drum package 'Groove Essentials'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I used to like the Starlicks setries which would feature 8 or so players and you could pick out a few things from each. I agree that most are better at demoing than they are at teaching tho' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) I dont think any dvd will be as comprehensive as a quality instructional book. I personally found some of these to be pretty good, but its an individual thing. These below are three of the ones i thought the best, you can click on them to be taken to the Amazon page to see more about them and what others think of them. [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Progressive-Bass-Guitar-Beginner-Advanced/dp/095954044X"] Progressive bass:beginer to advanced [/url](with dvd [i]and [/i]cd) [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Guitar-Basics-Dummies-Lifestyles-Paperback/dp/0470539615/ref=pd_sim_b_2"]Bass Guitar For Dummies [/url] [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Building-Walking-Bass-Lines-Friedland/dp/0793542049/ref=pd_sim_b_50"] Building Walking Bass Lines - Ed Friedland [/url]. I have no connection with the authors or Amazon Edited April 13, 2011 by daz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I'm working my way through [url="http://www.teachmebassguitar.com/"]'Teach me Bass Guitar'[/url] by Roy Vogt. It's a big (read-expensive) set, but it's slowly doing the job for me. I haven't seen anything more comprehensive or well produced advertised.
