10. Just dropping by to say how amazing the lessons are, ive taken around 1 every 2 days, and doing my best to master the techniques shown by his videos, and I keep on practicing each day from the basics to the more intermediate stuff, until I understood how to mix it up and start learning my own techniques, and I still come back to learn more and to review certain lessons, and I have been playing for a good year and a half.

    i got to say, his lessons saved me from stopping, now i got myself a gig, and learned plenty of my own techniques using the techniques given by his lessons.

    For those who want to learn and get better, just keep on practicing each day everything you learned from the lessons, and in time you will see yourself saying “just a month ago I had trouble doing this, now I can do it as if it were second nature”

    keep up the amazing work D-man, if I can learn from your lessons anyone can.

30. I've searched the internet up and down for lessons. I paid over 100 dollars for DVD's that were confusing and badly made. THESE lessons by THIS man are by far the best you will get on the net today. Trust me-I know!

    (Posted on 2009-07-21 22:14:00 by Lefthandedlinemaker)

31. dude you are badass. i've just been watching your videos on youtube and they've convinced me to give bass a shot. there are so many tutorial videos by random american country folk in their 60s who are no doubt good at what they do, but i find the lessons are far more effective when the teachers is on the same level as the student, that's what makes you stand out and that's why i'm coming back here as soon as my bass arrives!

    (Posted on 2009-07-17 12:59:00 by John)

32. Spent about two hours replaying your vids lastnight and it was f*#ckin awsome...home from work now and the first thing I do is start watching and playing gain. You've got a gift with this teaching business cuzzy...keep it up and i'll never stop watching and learning.Cheers!

    Thanks - TheLampMan (James)(Australia)t

    (Posted on 2009-05-13 15:21:00 by TheLampMan)

48. To describe Dman in just one word is impossible. But with one sentence, it is doable. I'm just gonna go ahead and say, I have had manyh teachers for many different subjects in my life. Dman, has been the best one I have ever had, and I haven't even met him face to face! It is really awesome to see an instructor so willing to teach his students. And not just willing, having fun while he's doing it. All though, I do feel bad for him, because he has so many students but he doesn't get to see the majority of them progress. Thanks for all the hard work dman!

49. Top stuff. I travelled for a couple of years, meeting lots and lots of guitarists who I thought were high quality. However not many could teach or get across their knowledge and I think you do that very well. I'm swapping my guitar for a bass ASAP!

    (Posted on 2009-05-10 18:17:00 by 2kidsnbroke)

58. "Honestly,I am a huge fan. HahaI've recently been trying to improve on my slap, and these are always great videos.Not only are you an incredible bass player,you must have the coolest/friendiest attitude as well. As cheesy as that may sound. HahaI wish I had an accent as well. :( ahaStay funky!

59. " just started playing the bass about a month ago, but your videos have probably been the biggest help when it came to me practicing out the slap and pop. Oh, and the hand excercises were exactly what I was looking for :)

    I love these videos of yours, they keep me going when things get too hard. Keep it up -Mecrac"

65. "Man seriously you are the best bass teacher I have ever been "with", you have excellent tecniques, and control of the best.You qre simply the best"

    (Posted on 2009-05-10 18:10:00 by Jemal)

66. "Wow. Thanks so much for taking the time to show ho to play this starting slowly. So many bass 'lesson' videos on YouTube just show people playing songs at fill speed and expect you to be able to make out their fingering techniques etc amongst the grainy video that ends up after YouTube does the compression. Definitely the way to teach

    : show full speed, break it down in slow-mo and then gradually ramp back up to full again.

    Many thanks!"

71. "I don't know why, Dman, but if I just can't seem to get whatever it is I'm trying to achieve all I have to do is watch one of your videos and it makes me feel alot better, and I get back on the wagon and try again. Thanks for doing this for those of us who absolutely must pinch the pennys. You truly are an inspiration to bass players every where.. "
