His accent keeps me interested

[@iamsoniaortiz]

Very useful, thank you. I’m a beginner bass player and I didn’t know that little adjustments were often required, but you’re right, even from one session to the next there’s a slight tuning to be made. Love this tuner!

[@mattbidwell2856]

Thanks! Just starting to learn an instrument for the first time. This was very helpful for tuning a bass on my own!

[@joedejesus6363]

I enjoyed your presentation very much. You made this lesson informative and simple to follow. I'm a returning "Bass Player" at 73, I use to play in some group/bands back in the 60's and 70's but then slowly lost interest drifted away. Things have certainly changed since the days I use to play a Bass Guitar. Right now I just play for my own enjoyment, following bass players from various songs.

[@Digmen1]

I'm exactly the same as you, player in cover bands in the 60;'s and 70's I turn 73 in a few days. I missed the funk era

[@Designworx1]

[@danielmarquis5258]

Low is instructional. Thanks a bunch!

[@gruporight]

Thank you for the comments

[@mysteriousplankton]

I have always finalized a tuned string by tuning up to the note. The string is a little bit tighter than if you tune down to the note.

[@bilipangnrybilipangnry4291]

Nice

[@generalsandmajors1504]

Tune up to the note. Never loosen to achieve the note. Also mute the other strings you're not tuning while tuning.

[@ottaneybell7336]

Does this work for a six string bass as well

[@Sky-xh8uf]

"Careful with your strings"
Me: * breaks the first string *
Literally guys, I had to buy a new set of strings

[@alexcorona]

we all break strings as beginners, even as professional you can break strings.
although I've never broken a bass string, you REALLY have to try to do that.
Guitars strings in the other hand dozens and dozens, only high E ones though.

[@shapamcbride6231]

Will an electronic tuner work without an amp being in use?

[@crispchaos4416]

Yea it’ll be fine

[@gruporight]

Yes the tuner has a button and activate a small microphone so the tuner listens or feel the vibration of the base. No need to use the amp

[@mikey29211]

Does this work for a five string?

[@drumsbassguitarbasics9220]

Mike Shelton Hello, answering to your question, 5 string basses are becoming more popular. Having another string you will have an extra low tone. You have 2 options adding the extra low string they can be tuned B, E, A, D, G or by adding a high string E, A, D, G, C.

[@darrentoon5332]

Can’t get it to work

[@rustyshackleford6811]

Video starts at 5.20..get to the point.j.s.

[@aggzish]

I prefer g,day instead of gdae substituting the e for y . And using an Australian accent .

[@klauscottonswab2322]

Sorry don't want to Cr@p on the party, but this is wrong. Always Tune up to a note, never loosen to it, but loosen lower than the note you want to tune (I stretch the string a tew times at this point..) and then keep tightening till you're in tune. Remember, upwards. Cheers👍😉
