When Warner Bros./REH approached me to make a video for beginning bassists, I worked hard to include all the elements that a beginner would need to get out and play live quickly. I covered basic techniques, learning the bass and the fingerboard, working on your meter, and constructing simple bass lines. I was fortunate to have a post-production team that could accent my lessons with helpful and entertaining graphics. Since its release, this video has been selected as one of Bass Player Magazine's Top 25 Best Bass Values, which I am eternally thankful for. If you like this video, check out Bass Bassics II, which covers more technique development, slapping, establishing a groove, and more.

Thank you so much for buying my video.

Sincerely,

Dale Titus

I got this vidio last xmas along with my first bass, i found the video x-tremely helpfull, Dale ansered every question from how to tune and look after your string's to note name's and where they are on the fretboard. This video really helped me get started on the bass. If you are just starting out playing the bass you can't go far wrong with this!

On my 13th birthday in addition to a bass guitar and some other stuff, I got this movie. It taught me a lot about playing bass. I have the major scales down pat. I still need to work on the minor scales. If you want to learn the bass, or you have a bass and can't afford lessons, buy this video.

Dale makes the material very easy to understand, and is clear in his explanations and examples. I only wish there was a bit more on this volume prior to having to get Volume 2. Run time is 36 minutes.

This video gives you alot of good basic information on the bass. However, it's not geared towards a traditional country bass, which is what I play. I took away from this some good information on style and technique, but he doesn't go over the old time country styles.
