Goodies!
Great stuff Scott! As usual…
Keep it up, we want more! ;-)
Well ! great lesson (as usual…!) and not a bad flash player indeed, the previous one was a little bit better (image quality, I like watching vids in full screen mode lol) but the sound’s still good.
very interesting thanks
Love you stuff Scott – I’m a big fan. Unfortunately this doesn’t play on
None flash devices, iPhone etc.
The lesson helps a lot Scott – it allows me to hear the modes more clearly. Now if I could just remember the shapes. On another subject – do you have any tips for locating notes and navigating the fretboard? Becoming more familiar with the fretboard. Thanks for your dedication…
Skip
great lesson.. thanks scott.. :D
Nice tip for practicing modes! Thank you!
Wonderfully clear explanation as always. Not sure if I can tell the difference, but the new player works fine and the bass sounds great. I guess it’s not so important in this fairly advanced subject area but it’s difficult to see your finger positions with this dark glove/ dark bass combo.
Hi Scott,
Thank you for you service and passion for the bass. I’m a novice & your lessons are very helpful. Question: what exercise would you recommend to improve my frett transition. The sound is distorted when I play the A string.
Thanks,
Candace
Hey Scott
I saw you play at bass day UK, and really loved your chordal bass playing.
the videos are really good :) you have a very nice way of explaining things :)
EADGC is the way forward !
please check out my channel if you want?
Hey cheers man. Yeah, bass day was great! we need one every month lol! I’ll check out your channel. S
It’s distorted all over the A string.
Hi Scott,
Really enjoyed the lesson (I’ve signed up for the next), so thanks for that. Luckily, I found a teacher that was able to explain modes to me in a similar way to you, but I get it even more having had your take on it. I’ve recently started playing again after a 10 year break and only now have I started to learn theory, as I was always a ‘feel player’, playing by ear. I guess I could hear what it should be but I needed a map around rhe fingerboard to find it!
Anyway, thanks for your time and I’m looking forward to the next one. By the way, what I’ve just heard you play, blew me away.
Cheers
Mark
Hey scott could you share some walking bass lines lessons, your lessons are very helpful and informative keep em comming Bro thanks
Hey man they’re on the way ;)
I would like to play bass so i need your help
Oh, OK I got it. 2 5 1 . Any minor. Dom. Maj. Sequence.
Thanks Scott for your explanation of modes. This seemed like rocket science at first. I’m a little bit clearer on them. It’s not really the conundrum I thought it to be. I need to put this stuff in to practice. I know if I do this physically it will make a lot more sense to me. Thank you again.
Thanks for this explanation of modes! I really liked the way you put it out! Very understandable!! Now, I can start to use them! This is a Big help to me!! Keep them coming! They are what is Wanted & Needed!!!
Hey John, the player is just temporary until I find something better. In the next modes video I’ll be using the jazz bass with maple neck so it’ll be easier to see my fingers. Thanks for posting in! Scott.
I’ll do a tutorial on this for you Skip. It’s on the list! ;) Scott.
Hey Mark, this player is just temporary for this video, so don’t worry I’ll be using something way better soon. Thanks for posting in Mark. Scott
Hey Candace… is the sound distorted all over the A string… does it distort when only plugged through an amp or when you play it unplugged too? S
