The Chain - U-Bass Solo Arrangement
Переглядів 5523 місяці тому
Here's "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac arranged for solo U-Bass. This arrangement is a Patreon request for Joel. This is a challenging piece that uses combinations of techniques to play. The most difficult passage uses the right hand index finger to push down a fretted note while the right hand middle finger is plucking that note...all while the left hand is playing the iconic bass line towards th...

In this video we'll learn to play and count many various rhythms you can create with 16th notes. We will learn to recognize how the rhythms look as well, so that we can treat these common rhythms as "words" in the future...making them easier to feel rather than to count in performance scenarios.
Learn To Play "Brown Eyed Girl" On U-bass In C Major - Cynthia Lin's Arrangement!
Переглядів 8555 місяців тому
This U-Bass part comes from Cynthia Lin and Ukulenny's version of the Van Morrison classic. Brown Eyed Girl is originally in the key of G, but the ukulele adaptation is often in C. @ukulenny uses arpeggios and scale walk ups plus a slightly syncopated rhythm to form a verse and chorus bass line that gives a hint of "island" vibes to the song. The original song uses a bass line that is more simi...

Excellent tutorial many thanks. Can’t wait to get my first bass
I bought a uke with nylon strings. Can I put metal strings on them? Thank you.
Thanks again, Stephen! Can't wait to learn this! ❤
You’re very welcome, Jasmine! Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers!
Just got mine in white
Awesome, congratulations!
My dad plays the upright and electric and I can’t wait to surprise him for his bday what I’ve learned! This was so helpful!! Thank you!
I’m glad you learned something from this and found it helpful! Thank you for watching!
What guitar are you using?
The U-Bass in this is the Kala Wanderer.
so standard bass tuning! simple
Has Kala fixed this issue. Or do you still have to do this yourself? Are there u basses where this issue doesnt exist? Chers
The more expensive models with a different pickup like the ebony, exotic mahogany, and other models in that range as well as the solid body models don’t typically have this issue. It’s more common in the entry level models, and I’m not sure if they have solved this issue yet. Thanks for watching!
You're a great teacher! Thank you!
Thank you! I’m glad you learned something from this. Cheers!
Flats!
I like all of them, but the flats are my favorite as well since they are the most versatile. Thanks for watching!
thank for the sharing, it is very nice, I tried to use the string of normal bass and put it on my u bass, and I have intonation problem , the note at 12 fret will have halt note Sharper than the tuned open string. is it because of the normal scale length bass string?
It could be the length, it could be the gauge of the string, and/or it could have to do with the string height/neck. I would recommend getting the strings specifically designed for it first…they have a nylon core instead of a metal one as well. Thanks for watching!
If double basses weren't so expensive, I'd buy one.
@@marvinthemaniac7698 I rented to own this one, so it never felt like as big of a purchase.
@@stephencoxbass how much does it cost to rent one?
Such a good sound!
@@contratoronto5868 Thank you!
Hello thanks so much for this information; 🙏🏾 I just received my “Luma Koa Ukulele Bari Bass” today. Unfortunately it doesn’t have the lil black strap knob on the bottom. 😢 I’m wondering would it be safe to have one installed? Also it’s hard to see how you have the strap attached on the top by the nut? 🤷🏽♀️ It’ll be awesome if you don’t mind sharing were you purchased your strap?
Hi, and thanks for watching! I have definitely had a strap knob installed on a ukulele, so a shop should be able to add one for you relatively easily. The other end of the strap has a shoestring on it that just ties around the neck under the strings just past the nut. Congrats on the new bass ukulele!
I got my strap at Uke Republic.
Love it! ❤
@@Cederuiter Thank you!
It must feel insane going between a little ubass and one of these massive things!
@@skywipe1949 It’s a big contrast for sure! Thanks for watching!
Cool!😊😊😊
@@jimcummings4712 Thanks for watching!
Awesome ❤

Nice!
Thanks Whitney!
I can't tell which is mocking me more, my fingers or my brain....
If you go through it slowly, it’s not as hard as it seems at first. Thanks for watching!
Wish I was here when you were streaming live.
It’s ok, I may decide to do another one later this month.
Great song, man!!!!
Thanks!
Oh noooo....I missed it 😢
It’s ok, I may do another one soon. Thanks for watching!
Pretty Good 👍 ❤
@@ladyhannahs3245 Thanks!
Smooth dude! That U-bas sounds awesome :)
@@gurreu Thank you!
thanks for this !!
I usually use a loose hacksaw blade for a job like this
That would work well. Thanks for watching!
THANK YOU FOR THE INFO.😊😊😊

You aren’t a fan of the U-Bass? Thanks for watching.
@@stephencoxbass it’s awesome but it looks so small, when I think of basses like this usually el guitaron or the acoustic bass comes to mind. The U-bass exists. Frankly I wasn’t even aware of that. Though any instrument can be played awesomely.
Thanks for the heart mate.
Great video! I tried on the same day as getting my Kala U-bass. Was very disappointed about the low volume of the E-string. You can easily test if your U-bass is suffering from this issue: Press hard on the E-string right above the saddle. If you hear a "click" noise when doing this, it shows that there is no tight contact between the saddle and the piezo. I used this video as reference for the modification, but I only cut the saddle between the E string and the A string (using a proper saw :-) and left the other three sections together, because only the E-string had a volume issue. That immediadetly removed the issue! The e-string is still a little "wobbly" due to its thickness, but the volume is now nearly the same as the other strings. If Kala reads this: Please fix it, it is definitely a design flaw.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Excellent course Thank you, Stephen
Thank you, Mike!
A very valuable lesson. Thank you, Stephen
I’m glad you found this one helpful! Thanks for watching!
Thanks
You’re welcome.
A gentle beginning to notes. Thank you, Stephen
You’re welcome, Mike!
Do we need to change Kala bass strings often Please ?
I have not had to often at all. Mine have lasted for a few years each set. You might want to replace them a bit more often than that, but that has been my experience. Thanks for watching!
Excellent course, Stephen I'm learning a lot.
I’m glad I can help! Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
my left ear really enjoyed this
Oh no, was this one of the videos I forgot to make stereo? Sorry for that if so. Thanks for watching!
Excellent lesson, Stephen Thank you
Thank you! I’m glad you found it helpful.
Que micrófonos lleva?
hello quel accordage ?
Excellent lesson, Stephen A big thank you
So versatile! Gotta noodle with this...
Great percussive sounds, both hands!
That’s so lit man
Thank you!
When I pluck my ubass, I can hear the strings tapping on the bottom fret, do you have any tips for that? I love your content
You have to pluck very lightly, but you also may need to adjust the action or the truss rod if it has one. Thanks for watching!
@@stephencoxbass alright, got it, thank you for carrying the U-Bass community!!
slap on a u bass...nice!
Thank you!
How long is the flatwound strings? will they fit my 30 inch u-bass?
This is so helpful. I just got a fretless Ubass and have never touched a bass in my life so didnt know what to do with it. This is perfect. Thank you ❤🙏🙏🙏
Add an inch on the A❤
