Well, itâs subjective. But based on over a decade of personal teaching experience, plus reviewing a lot of other teachersâ lists, these are 17 things I think anybody should be able to do at the intermediate level. To make this list more digestible, I broke it up into three chunks - First, weâll tackle the basics. (or bassics, if youâre some kind of pun nerd) This includes tuning quickly, learning the fretboard âmoney notes,â alternating plucking, four finger fretting, keeping good time, playing legato, and basic muting. The second chunk is about theory, which I kept to a functional minimum. Weâll talk about learning basic scales, common rhythms and time signatures, and having a decent handle on your gear. Last up is musicianship, which covers a whole range of skills that make you not just a good bassist, but a good musician. Iâll walk you through reading, playing bass with a drummer, jamming, listening, playing the blues, creating bass lines, and playing along with full songs. Whew! Itâs a lot to learn, which is probably why my Beginner to Badass course (which covers all this stuff) is over 30 hours of lessons⊠check it out: https://yeah.bassbuzz.com/intermediate Enjoying these videos?
