In this first lesson on ghost notes, I help you develop the basic technique(s) for executing consistent, clean ghost notes on the bass. Once I've walked you through how to play ghost notes, I then explain and demonstrate 6 fun and musical exercises for practicing ghost notes, first using 8th notes and then 16th notes. After watching this video, you'll be ready to start adding ghost notes into your own playing. Don't forget to subscribe for more lessons, demos, and song playthroughs!
