Great Online Instructors!

[herbygardener]

Hi all,
I just thought it was time that I gave a shout out to some folks who, in addition to the great contributors here on TB, have helped me immensely so far on my journey to becoming a bass player. No matter the subject, I find that if I don't quite 'get it' from one's lesson, the slightly different method and perspective of another will help.
I feel very lucky to have these great teachers and their vast library of lessons at my fingertips whenever I feel the urge/need to dive into something deeper.
Thanks for all you do!
Keep up the great work!
Cheers!

p.s. I'm in no way affiliated with any of the above.
Just a thankful old dude who thinks their sites deserve some support!
If you have a fave that I haven't mentioned, please post a link.
Cheers!

I’ve come to really like talkingbass. Even though mark is kinda manic and takes some getting used to watching

I love Scott, his energy, but so many of his videos are just fluff

Excited to explore all the others mentioned!

Piggy back question: anyone have recommendations for jazz-specific walking bass online lessons?

LOL, I nearly commented in another thread, using the same word (manic) to describe Mark. He's a bit over-amped, but (as you alluded to) his info is very solid. But, damn, the guy comes off like he'd fit right in on a 'Wham' or 'Boy George' cover band, LOL! ("Not that there's anything wrong with that", to steal a line .)

I was very happy with the beginner course he has on the BassBuzz site.

I've been going through a number of videos recently, and most have been helpful, but the guys I'm currently getting the most from, are Luke Mcintosh at Luke from Become A Bassist
...and Mark J Smith at TalkingBass - Online Bass Lessons
And I also saved several backing tracks that I can wrap my head around and use for improvising bass lines, using techniques I largely got from the guys mentioned.
I've also been digging up tutorials on classic tunes, that aren't too hard to learn quickly, and that (hopefully) help to get various string/note relationships cemented into my head (stuff like Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Stand By Me, Cocaine, Wonderful Tonight, Lagrange, Tush, Bob Marley's Stir It Up, various 12-bar rock/blues jams, etc.etc.)
