Not only is he a great player……he doesn’t fill the time with endless opinions and comments. Just gets on with it. Don’t get me started on Scott Devine!

Strangely I added this yesterday to my playlist to learn, it was one of my dads favourite songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got his own shtick, but he balances it nicely with some gorgeous bass work. Great player. But I find his "comedy Brummie" schtick tiresome and unfunny. Same reason I have no time for Davie, despite him being a good player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobiewharton Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I think it's important to recognise the distinction between different content creators. Some play so you can watch; others play so you can watch and learn. Some show and review gear and others primarily talk about gear. Then there are the teachers - music teachers, bass teachers, and those that do both. The rarest breed are the teachers who are great players/players who are great teachers; I'm not talking, in the immortal words of Flea, 'all flash and no smash', but the rounded players who also have a gift for teaching. The two that I really admire are Richie Blake and Dan Hawkins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BabyBlueSound Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 "Hey again, it's Mark here from TalkingBass" is my all time favourite online teacher. No nonsense, only useful stuff, and I am a fan of the deadpan presentation. Teaches technique, approach, and specific basslines as well, dissecting everything into consumable little steps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_dinger Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Eric Blackmon is solid - mainly guitar, but all the right chords, and inversions, and slow enough to follow it for the likes of me. If your guitarist needs help to learn something, try this YouTube channel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
