Never heard that track before. They’re from Birmingham and this has some dub reggae influence, perhaps unsurprising as a lot of people settled there from the Caribbean

DARK side of DEI? Like there's any other.

Great lesson, Greg! It was great to be able to check my transcription with yours.

Thank you I'm away magilla

Like Chris Martin a Paul McCartney pool

Hang on a blind baby

Finally got a chance to listen to this. As someone mentioned, mesmerizing. Very nice melodic tune.

I'm sorry Greg, but i didn't have to guess :D

Here's my video lesson on this bass line: ua-cam.com/video/11jkqQU7H-w/v-deo.html

Very mesmerizing bass line. Not a typical Black Sabbath song but a good one. Thank you for sharing this tutorial with us, Greg.

great cover, you nailed the tone!

thanks for the lesson, very nice line, sad to learn that the bass player died long ago and at a very young age

fun riff to play

Nice 🎉

Great lesson, you have nailed the tone right!

great, loved it! how about " Steppin' out ' from the live album?

Nice one Greg!

Fantastic lesson, many thanks !

Stop playing any Thin Lizzy songs without a pick every thing he plays is with a pick

great video Greg, big thumbs here! I love this song, and usually play it when I'm warming up. I really liked how you showed your garage band settings, I'm going to try it out. Two other Sabbath songs with great riffs are Into the Void and A National Acrobat.

Geezer Buttler was the reason i started playing Bass. I am a guitarist in first place and "played" bass, too. Geezer brought me to realy play the bass seriously like a bassist. 🖤 Thanks for this clip. And because you asked at the end: i enjoyed the clip. Your lesson is straight to the point. I dont want to go crazy with music theory stuff when i just want to play a tune and have fun. So this clip was great. And yes, that propably the easiest Geezer tune i know 😅 some can get realy tricky...but always fun and raw power 🤘🏻😁 Are you shure that this is in E Standard tuning original? I am not shure because the rest of the album is in C# Standard. But maybe they changed it in this song to match the flute better maybe? Bt a flute is C as far as i remember. Anyways, thanks for the clip 😁 PS: because you mentioned Jethro Tull. I would love to see a lesson like this for Jethro Tulls Burree. I realy tried and i got some parts done...but i cant figure it out complete. 😅 A great Bass Song, too...in my opinion. For shure. But i realy love the classical touch to it (well, no wonder, it is originaly by Georg Friedrich Händel 😅) but Tulls version is realy smooth.

Really cool Greg. 🎉

Oh, my… Such a beautiful classic bass line. Nice, Greg 🙌🏽

Like this. How about Deep Purple's Child in Time from 1970.

Someone recently pointed out that I can use the circle of 5ths to quickly identify a 2-5-1 progression. Notice that “C > F > Bb” is a “2-5-1” in the key of Bb major.

Thanks!

Top shelf Greg! Love Free...

Simply put, lovely stuff very helpful.

Extract the bass, raise it up an octave, get out a guitar and transcribe it. Slow down as needed. As you play along you will hear any bad notes to double check your work.

Greg, many thanks for another great lesson! I play by extending the Nashville Number system for chord progressions down into the individual chords. What I mean by this is that I think about how the notes in a bar relate to the root of the chord of the bar. For example, in a bar with a C major arpeggio, I think of the C as the root or 1, and the arpeggio notes as the 3 (third) and 5 (fifth) of the C chord. So, for a C major arpeggio, I think about going to the C and playing 1-3-5-3. A C minor arpeggio would be 1-b3-5-b3. I use it for other "riffs" such as 1-3-5-8, 1-5-b7-8, 1-3-5-6, 8-b7-5-b3. Each "riff" has it own shape (actually 3 shapes depending on which finger is on the root). The numbers and shapes blend together over time. Cheers, Steve.

Playing bass, guitar and other stringed instruments, is like dancing with your hands and fingers. Thinking in shapes isn't cheating and never was.

Very useful and true Greg. I started to play bass after 40 years playing classical guitar. My bass teacher combines all those elements you describe. I find the shapes liberating and also tab. Thank you

EXCELLENT TUTORIAL!!!

Learning by patterns are necessary at first. But it’s best to move on, even though patterns will always be important. Reading notation really helped me learn the notes on the fingerboard. Practicing arpeggios up and down the neck in all 12 keys revealed to me the various positions and fingerings. Very insightful lesson, as usual!

Greg, great material as always. I don't know why people forget about the 4 string major pentatonic or blues scale, as there are no shifts required: just take your "Position 2" forms and move the root to the E string using the pinky finger.

Hi Greg, I loved this lesson and tabs. I’m developing on my arpeggios technique and this song was so good to practice, I’m happy that I was able to play it in abou an hour. Thanks!

For me, four point five years into playing (doubt I'll make it to 25+)....shapes/patterns are great. But the exercise of knowing where every third and every fifth is has been the best. Or every sixth, etc. from a first, second or fourth finger position. Good stuff and more interesting (to me) than covers. Thanks Greg,

The short answer is No . Bass goes from sid to jaco and all points in between There's no cheating in Any Instrument Even the triangle.

I think I like position 3 the best, but practicing going up one way and down a different way. Nice lesson Greg!

This popped up after watching your latest lesson. Great reminder to the one on one we had. Something to add to my start routine when I start a session.

Thanks Greg. Really helpful. Have a great holiday mate 👍

Another great lesson. My bass instructor, who has 40 years experience as a pro and 20 years teaching, has provided me with the tools required to be a musician versus someone who can play a bass. Knowing the fretboard, major and minor scales and appegios, and learning songs by ear are the major focus. I started by playing by tabs and not understanding what I was playing. I also use the Nashville Number System for notating songs. It helped at practice when they changed keys on a song. This is where knowing your fretboard and scales really come in handy

Thank you, Greg! This is a great lesson. Hugs from São Paulo.
