Great Video, one thing would make it better if the Tab was on the top of the screen so when you pause it, it doesn't get covered up by the video settings and options.
I will do this exercise tonight thanks . To come along in my Musicianship is my Dream . A professional bass player played the major scale for me through the whole neck with Feeling fluidity clear intonation . It sounded like a piece of of Music . He said it is . He took the major scale and put it to a blues song showing me how you could put the feel of the song to it . I notice that Really good players are often real gentle loving spirited People . Able to encourage Uplift those of us striving to learn . I feel that in your teachings Mr. Buzz .
Thank you so much for this. I’ve been learning for a year now and just can’t get motivated to learn theory as it’s so boring and doesn’t seem to relate to the fun music I like to play. I love your reverse engineering approach to this and would appreciate more lessons taking this approach as it feeds my need to play something cool whilst still encouraging me to learn the theory. I am actually hooked on playing by tab and spend hours playing along to RUclips tab videos but I can hardly play anything by ear and don’t know any notes or scales (other than open string notes of course). Please help me get out of this rut!

James, why is the graphic of the strings/scale notes upside down. Seems like it would be less confusing if it was top to bottom like the strings (E, A, D, G)
Hey John That’s always the way fretboard diagrams are writing with the lowest string lowest on the diagram… With verticals fretboard diagrams the lowest string is always on the left. If you rotate that you get same thing as I’ve done in the diagrams
There’s not flat 7 in the bass line that I’ve written Gareth. I’ve just looked up a few charts and the Eb is written as straight Eb chord not Eb7. As it’s a funk groove a Eb7 or Mixoldydian could easily implied… but I think it complicates matters… especially with the point I’m trying to get over here. In some respects neither perspective is wrong.
@@garethevans2650 agree there is an error here. It should be D not D flat in the graphic. There is no D flat in E flat major. No harm, no foul on James' part, mistakes happen and pobody's nerfect as they say.

I’ll run that past my editor! Thanks for the idea…
Thank you, your way of explaining is so amazing
You're very welcome!

Hi
The shape of Eflat major doesn’t correct at 6’36 this Mixolydian shape scale
Hi Ali! Thanks for pointing that out! Cheers!

Sorry but the second example is not Eb major it has a flat 7
There’s not flat 7 in the bass line that I’ve written Gareth. I’ve just looked up a few charts and the Eb is written as straight Eb chord not Eb7.

@@ebassguitar you say D in the spoken dialogue but the accompanying graphic has a Db written
@@garethevans2650 agree there is an error here. It should be D not D flat in the graphic. There is no D flat in E flat major. No harm, no foul on James' part, mistakes happen and pobody's nerfect as they say.
I was going to comment on the same thing. Eb mayor has 3 flats (circle of fifths). But hey, we are all human here! Great video!
