What songs/melodies/solos/riffs use the phrases from this video? Let me know - and drop a link if you have one so we can all see these licks in real-world songs.
Absolutely! Story telling is a great way to think about using this language - especially in a bass solo context. Thanks for sharing @James Kowalkowski.
Really great lesson Luke. I'm just starting to explore putting a bit more flavor into the songs I have to play. This gives me not only ideas but confidence as well. Keep it going.
Great lesson, Luke. Lick #1 - Al Di Meola, Black Cat Shuffle Main riff, especially guitars. Lick #2 - Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here Can't say exactly where, but this lick reminds me of that song. Lick #3 - No idea, lol
More than 20 years ago I played bass but due to getting sick I started back a few months ago and yes I miss the good old things that are now explained again by Luke. In other words, super video.
@@BecomeABassist yes pentatonic licks like these , jazz licks , blues , rock Not too long 3-2 bars max I have experienced with these 3 licks like you have explained and it was pure joy creating your own language out of it This is real excitement from music You are great have been watching your videos almost 3-4 years now and i m getting so much out of it without being overwhelmed.
This was an exceptionally good lesson. I had so much fun exploring all the fretboard and used my playlist on You tube with all my E minor keys to improvise with. Really rocked it and feel confident now on moving around fast without thinking. It brought all my knowledge together in a fun way. Now to do this in another key. Not today though !!
Wild Cherry: Play that funky music. Bar 35 and 36 might fit this, don't have a full grasp on this lesson yet but it seems like that part of that song is similar to what you are talking about.
Hey Like, thanks for this great lesson and great ideas. I just want to clarify something you said at the beginning of lick #2. You said you are starting on A, the fourth note of the E minor pentatonic scale. Isn't A the third note and B the fourth note?
Doesnt that one Green Day song you did in your "5 more beginner bass lines" video use the major pentatonic? Im a noob lol, I was learning those bass lines and stumbled on this video and realized the notes in the example seemed familiar
I was facing this exact problem. I know the scales, the modes, the notes in it but, when I try to execute, despite the right notes, it doesn't feels right.
@@BecomeABassist No kidding, we have a cavoodle (or Cavapoo) too! Thought yours kind of looked like our Tucker, except he is ruby color! Best breed! Ours was supposed to be 12-15lbs and just weighed in at 34 lbs! Thanks for such great lessons and the Duff one didn't disappoint! Cheers!

you bastard bass lesson in no talk
I love how you geek out when you play a fill you like, it's cool to see the passion
Possibly the best explanation and demonstration (IMHO) for separating scales from language and telling a story! Thanks!!
Absolutely! Story telling is a great way to think about using this language - especially in a bass solo context. Thanks for sharing @James Kowalkowski.
Gotta love the dog trying to steal the show!
Haha! He deserves to steal the show - he's a very good boy!
This is a fantastic lesson. As a newbie to music and the bass, this will a lesson I’ll never forget
"The People's Key of E"... I love that.
I gotta say man I’ve been learning last five years and your videos are always spot on. You and Josh made me what I am today 😎🤘
Thank you *so* much @john gieschen jr. - I can't tell you how much I appreciate that! It's *_always_* awesome to hear.
Really great lesson Luke. I'm just starting to explore putting a bit more flavor into the songs I have to play. This gives me not only ideas but confidence as well. Keep it going.
Amazing @Robert Mock - the confidence will absolutely help inject your own personality into things.
Great lesson, Luke.
Lick #1 - Al Di Meola, Black Cat Shuffle
Main riff, especially guitars.
Lick #2 - Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here
Can't say exactly where, but this lick reminds me of that song.
Lick #3 - No idea, lol
Great examples @delineater! Thanks for sharing.
Lick 2 reminds me of a different Pink Floyd song, Young Lust.
More than 20 years ago I played bass but due to getting sick I started back a few months ago and yes I miss the good old things that are now explained again by Luke. In other words, super video.
In that case, welcome back to the world of bass @Geen Nog minder!
I enjoyed this because it makes so much sense to me. So you get my subscription!
Спасибо Люк, отличный урок 🎸!!! 👍
Superb tutorial, Luke. Thanks!
Thanks. Super helpful. I'll be watching your video on pentatonics. Thanks.
Awesome to hear @Tom Griffin.
Another great lesson Luke. A fun one to explore, especially with those supplied drum tracks. I can groove on these all afternoon. Cheers!
Awesome @Thomas Fioriglio - you can definitely get pulled into the rabbit hole with this stuff, and that's certainly a good thing.
Great videos Luke thanks.
You're very welcome @MustangEd - glad you like them.
Great lesson Luke!!!
Give us more of these stuff
Learning language and making it your own!!
Anything in particular you'd want to learn more of @Ohad Netzerel?

Beautiful bass
How Cool Is This - Excellent Tutorial And Welcome Back Brother Man
Cheers
Thanks so much @Travis Reed - so happy you're into it!
Great stuff Luke! All of it reminded me of Pink Floyd, Roger Waters licks.
I'm sure he used some variations of these at some point @Tony Simmons.
Great playing n lesson Ty 💯❤

This is *fantastic* @nola baylis! So cool to hear you putting the language to good use!
Another great lesson thank so much!
Very helpful the way you show it:) Thanks
Lick Number 2 - Queen's first album - I think the song is Son and Daughter
Wild Cherry: Play that funky music. Bar 35 and 36 might fit this, don't have a full grasp on this lesson yet but it seems like that part of that song is similar to what you are talking about.
Absolutely @Gadget Bass - it's definitely in that ballpark.
Another very useful lesson!
Glad you think so @tony sansone!

you are so good
Thanks!
Thank YOU @James Hunt - really appreciate the generosity!
Lick #2: Long Train Running first bass lick! Quite similar intervals ruclips.net/video/HP_NE4XZGAc/видео.html
Absolutely @Jonatha jonnymambo - it definitely hangs out on that 7th of the pentatonic. Very similar to Lick #2. Thanks so much for sharing.
Great Lesson! What program are you getting the drum loop? Looking better drum loops to practice with. Thanks for sharing!
I usually just make my drum loops in Garageband @PhatBazz4.
@@BecomeABassist I'm on a PC and no Garageband Program. Appreciate your response!!
Great lesson,teach more language it’s great stuff.
I was facing this exact problem. I know the scales, the modes, the notes in it but, when I try to execute, despite the right notes, it doesn't feels right.
This is super common @João Érico Caldas de Lima. Hopefully focusing on *language* over theory can help solve this problem for you.
the dog is very cool
Luke, love your lessons!! So well-taught and easy to understand! And your dog in the videos is the best!! What breed is he?
He *_IS_* the best. His name is Arnie and he's a cavoodle, but a big one. He managed to grow bigger than both his parents.

Awesome lesson thank you ❤
Good lesson,mate.But I also liked the dog.
He's the *real* star of the show. Lol
I'd like to learn sweetchild of mine I like the Lil solo at the beginning of the riff
No way - I'm working on a lesson all about Duff McKagan that will definitely include that bass solo line.
@@BecomeABassist can't wait!
YOU CANT FOOL ME, lick 2 is the chilis baby back ribs with a different last note. LOL
Not really familiar with that jingle other than the Michael Scott rendition, but I wouldn't be surprised @Blakeadam52
