This one has simply blowed my mind out. In just 15 minutes this lesson has made me realise how to connect all my knowledge about chords, scales and arpeggio, thus resulting in my biggest "A HA, SO THIS IS HOW IT WORKS" in all my years of playing. Thank you so much from a bass player from Murcia, Spain!
Scott, your lessons are great... but flipping us that 'second finger' position @5:54 made for a great screenshot! As a bassist, I can can relate to that attitude at certain times... Cheers!
everytime I watch one of your videos, I can't help but notice that you have a quirk for playing fills and lines that don't necessarily end on the strong beats. Very Anthony Jackson-style, may I say. Thanks for the quality content, as always :)
hey Scott, thankful fan from Italy here :) i have a small question: i own a six string bass and i often find myself struggling with playing from the first to the sixth string while maintaining the same volume. usually when i play i like to scoop up the bass and the low mids and that makes my low strings play way louder than the higher strings. i know there are bass compressors but i feel like its like cheating and not really gettin better at the instrument do you have any suggestions? maybe some erxercise to play lighter/stronger without really focusing on that? keep up the good work cheers :)
For me, I mainly just need to know what key it's in....I'm still learning the fingerboard, and overall semi noob BUT I can hack it if I know what key we're in. It's weird, tho, if I have to figure out the key on my own, I have a really hard time mapping from the point where I found it....which I guess goes back to still learning the finger board.
@Andrew Marks: I am a beginner and I've been advised at music shops that music theory classes should be taken before picking up an instrument. Why is that? Will you explain that to me thoroughly?
If you don't know music theory, then it'll be hard to learn an instrument, cause you don't know how and why it works.We learn instrument to play music, that's why we learn music theory, to understand how music works My advise is forget that music theory class, just read a free basic music theory book or articles or watch some basic music theory videos on youtube and you're good to go. It only take 2 to 4 weeks to understand basic music theory.

I love it when you get "carried away" and groove while you're giving us the lesson

Whoa... The major scale tip with the Ab example really helped my brain
Music theory is huge in your first point. Everyone seems to dislike learning theory, but it's so crucial to being an effective musician.
This really helped, thanks Scott!

Thanks Scott.
Great Scott !!! Your band is Great.
Wow thank you 👍🏻😀
Im pretty sure tons of ppl already have asked this question. But what happened to his bass of doom? The custom 58 p bass?
@5:54 Oh no he didn't ;)!
Haha
savage
This needs to become a meme :D

just become familiar with chords and a piano before you start your instrument, or do both of it at the same time
Homebase - other DIY stores are available..... LOL! ;-)
Did you say "two four" @9:12 ?
is it generally ok if i dont play with my pinkie finger at all?
how can I gain more speed for bass? (I love speed metal) im assuming more practice?
Search youtube for "Scott speed lesson"
thx
Endurance practice for the right hand. For the left... Good question
id suggest going slowly at first to really lock down what your brain has to do with your hands and then work your way up
I would suggest practicing skills with a metronome. that will most definitely build your speed period!
Individual
this is some sorcery..
he calculated a whole song with his fingers.. chord changes and all.. *at varying speeds!!!*
I thought the hack for knowing the key of the song was to ask the guitarist :c)
