This has been the most instructive intro to ghost noting I've come across yet, Luke, thanks! Really can't wait to start practicing this piece and incorporating your tips... cheers!
I hope you are keeping at it. As long as you keep practicing you can assure yourself that you are never going to sound this bad again! I am trying not to get frustrated learning barre chords on guitar. I have to be patient and really celebrate the baby steps.
For me, and I guess this is because I'm a guitar player, it's easier to really land those ghost notes with a pick a lot like that palm mute/chucking rhythm you hear acoustic players like Jack Johnson do. Again, that's just me
On forums, I hear ghost notes mentioned with many other concepts. I'm confused. Is it optional notes, shortening notes, damping notes, or muting/scratching?
funny that this video comes out now because i just learned how to play my name is mud by primus which goes beyond ghost notes and it's so muted that it basically becomes percussion
At the beginning of this video you say ghost notes can be percussive only (without a tone) or very short notes. I sometimes see the former described as "dead" notes (no tone) and the latter described as "ghost" notes (a tone that is quickly muted). Is the common terminology? Is the tab notation the same for both? It seems like an "x" on the tab has to be a dead note (by this terminology) because you otherwise wouldn't know which note to abbreviate.
4:25, I found it extremely difficult to mute the notes while playing fast, say an 8th or 16th notes without sounding like harmonic. Case in point, Hotel California.
The beginning of Pink Floyd's Time - the fast tick-tock - that everyone thinks is played on percussion, is actually heavily muted bass
Woah - I didn't actually know that. Very cool!

Learned ghost notes with give it away honestly it just makes the line so funky
Absolutely!
I’m learning this to learn Roundabout by Yes haha

Its fun to use ghost notes at the snare part.
The is awesome Luke. I been wanting to learn this style. I’m still haven’t difficulty, need more
Luke is my go-to. Thanks for your content guys!!!! It’s saved me at least $3000 in lessons for fax.
become a better bearded bassist. yeah! great lesson
Haha! I'm going for the epic isolation beard!
Thanks, best explanation I have found :)
The dog made me like this guy so much more
He makes me like me better too!
Love this lesson! I can't wait to start work on this!
Even your dog recognizes that a great bass !
Looks & Tone, 😀
Love you dog ❤ he's very cute 🤗 also love you teaching 😅
I practice for so weeks and I still can't do ghost notes. Starting to get frustrating.

The level 6 is so catchy :D

Esse Baixo é bonito demais..
Very nice video, as always!
Nice way to see the difference with and without. Also - hi Arnie ;)

Look up Tom Jenkinson (Squarepusher). His technique utilizes ghost notes in the most elegant way.
What a beautiful Spector!
Fight ya for it. 😜
Bahaha! Deal.
@@BecomeABassist Cheers, mate!
Luke bringing the funk! Nice
Nice one. Thanks.
Hi Arnie!
I find these easier to do when playing with a pick
Totally - especially if you come from a guitar background, playing ghost notes with a pick can feel a lot easier
Illegal

Puppyyyyyyy
Is there any difference if you palm mute them? (If you are a pick player)
I think James Jamerson used to do that. Listen to some Marvin Gaye tracks such as What’s Going On?
So useful... I didn’t know what a ghost note was so now can try it. Only been playing for 8 months so loads to learn. Thanks Luke from the UK.

Love it!!!!!!!!
What happened to the other dog? just curious, nice tutorial by the way and thanks for sharing
Which 'other' dog are you thinking of @wilfredomendez3450? Arnie is the only pup that's ever been in any of my videos.
So when the notes say 1x it’s a ghost note on the first fret but what does it mean when it’s just x? Do you just play any random note?
Do a dead note
Maybe no ghost notes in Bach cello suite, eh? Thanks, Luke.
Just the ghost of J.S. Bach himself @marshwetlan3808 lol
Nice one Luke.
Cheers @Peter Barratt - glad you liked it!
How we notate it ?
Doggo!
Please repeat the lesson, I was admiring the doggo 😢
spooky
Such spooky - many scares
LOL, I slowed the video down to 50% just to get the notes down, and Luke sounds drunk. 😂
I might be...haha
Those ghost notes are 2spooky4me
Hello
Hey
Come on, Luke... come over!
As fast as I can!
bla bla bla bla bla bla !!!!!👎👎👎👎
