    Dude, that book you showed, "The complete guide to music theory for bass guitar players" is without doubt the best book I have. In it you show perfectly how all the scales fit in. then the way you tell how the modes and those 5 pentatonic scales fit in is so cool. I recommend it to every one I talk to. thank you.

    You’re too strong man, don’t how you kept it together in this video. Glad you shared your reasons with the online family. Thanks for sharing that your Pops was a Luthier. Would love to see pics and videos of him Luthiering, if that’s a word. Keep lettin ya hair down Brotha man, your presentation was perfect and relatable. Let’s see more of that raw uncut, not so politically correct Daric if that’s what you feel like doing.

      My dad isn’t a luthier..: could you be thinking of someone else?

    Thank you for that lesson. It was helpful as well as insightful.
    Would not relative major (ionian) and relative minor (aeolian) always work over the same chord progression, just giving the sound a 'different flavour?' Then, does that not mean all the modes, in the same key, should work over the same chord progression. Each time giving the progression a 'diffrent flavour?'

    • @ebassguitar
      @ebassguitar  4 месяца назад

      That's kind of true! It's a matter of taste which notes work best, but the simple answer is yes.
      You may get more clarity as to which notes sound 'stronger/better' if you consider the chord tones first - root, 3rd, 5th, 7th etc - rather than blindly running through your modal scale variations. But logically, the further you extend any chord the more it becomes apparent you're using all the notes from a scale in any mode.
      Phrasing and taste are often the best guides when exploring modal - or any - ideas, particularly in the lower/bass registers.
      I hope this helps! Cheers!
