I've been playing bass for 17 years. I figured this out probably after about a year of playing. I'd say you laid it out perfectly and put it all together. This is exactly where a bassist should start. well done

I'm a simple man. I see a Rickenbacker, I click like

This guy is a hybrid of Pewdiepie and Chris Pratt

I started as a drummer in my first band but after we broke up my little brothers band needed a bassist (he was the drummer) so I said "hey just show me what to do" even though I had never played bass or guitar (apparently all those years of tennis racket guitar didn't help). The guitarist said just follow my pointer finger and you should be good, we played pop punk and skate punk in the mid 90's and it turned out pretty good.

Excellent teacher. No boring, endless talking just saying enough and getting on with it. Well done

Guitarist who just started playing bass to fill out my demos...this was fantastic!! Thanks for making it.
-
An excellent introduction to playing bass. So often, the lesson books take the too-long way around to get to this point. You did a great job of helping beginner bass players get playing easily. Well done.
-
This is a the best example of building riffs in key around - clear, uncomplicated and easily understandable. So many videos and apparent 'teachers' massively overly complicate it. Brilliant - well done.

Dude. Immensely helpful. I typically play guitar at church, but filling in at bass this week. Great place to start

been playing guitar for decades and i'm just now starting to play bass and find that it's a hard instrument to master. guitarists have it especially rough because we tend to just fiddle and noodle bass leads rather than creating a true bass that is independent from guitar and locks in with the drums. Guitarists are often tricked into thinking it's easy because it only has four strings...

Sean, thanks for your videos, I've been a drummer/percussionist for 35 years, and I wanted to expand myself, so I took up bass. I've been in it for little over a year, so your video are really helping. Keep it up.
-
Gosh, you even have a Rickenbacker!! I'd kill for that bass.
-
as a bass guitarist... i like to prey on the insecurities of guitar whammers.
-
Thanks again Sean I’m a guitar player learning bass. I have watched ten or so bass videos and yours has helped me the most.
-
Probably one of the most helpful videos I've ever watched for learning bass. Thanks so much.
-
Thanks for the excellent bass tutorial. Simple, yet sounds great and makes perfect sense.
-
Lovely lesson, shows that there is so much improv possible with just a few extra notes. Thanks!
-
been searching online for a beginner to start, you are by far the best! start simple and add more as you go along. Well explained! Thank you!
-
The tips you gave are amazing!!! I taught myself to play guitar and eventually ventured to bass but not having a teacher to show me these tips you gave in this video, now I can teach myself to play better!! Thank you!!!

For when my guitarist was introducing something new, I learned how to "read" hi's finger shapes for all of the common chords. Then I would build my basslines from that progression.
