    I’ve played guitar for several decades, but I’m pretty new to learning bass. I ‘knew’ this stuff already, but you have a wonderful way of explaining it (and I always look for better ways of understanding theory)…I feel like I ‘know’ it a bit better now. You have an incredible way of speaking and teaching.

  • @Al_Mac125
    @Al_Mac125 Год назад +7

    Nicely demonstrated Rich.
    I think it's at this point when folks learning to play have a light bulb moment on music theory. It's like the first turn of the key that unlocks the magic box. When you quickly realise that this relationship happens all over the neck, it's a time of great advances in understanding the fretboard.

  • @Matthewsavant
    @Matthewsavant 4 месяца назад +1

    This is exactly what I was looking for, No over the top goofy youtube personality, no ridiculous editing and not making the video about yourself. Right to the point, very informative and simple to understand. Thanks man I really appreciate it, I'm coming from a drumming and synthesizer background and I want to pick up bass next, The way you've explained how scales work on the bass made a lot of sense to me. I'm going to be coming back to this video to practice. much appreciated

  • @MrSparks54
    @MrSparks54 Год назад +3

    Good stuff Rich, your style makes it easy to understand. I learned to play bass when I was 15 in 1969, my mother taught me how to read music and then when I was introduced to the Circle of Fifths, it all made more sense. I never stop studying and learning. Thanks!

    A very good basic theory lesson.Not a play along job but a listen and learn.With all this information should give basic theory concept about notes and scales.I will just have to keep watching over multiple times until becomes all clear.I am ok with reading time scales and tablature but need more education on scales.I am glad I found this,no chalk board or ruler just right.

    That's It, I am a Professional Thanks. No Just Kidding, but I do think your approach to the Major and Minor on the Bass with the Finger Count hit home for me better than trying to remember the Notes. You went from being a Musician to a Mathematician. I really like the Mike Tyson combination of playing the scales. It's a Knockout winner. Thanks Again

This is how I learn and makes me a better player. Can you please go over your lesson from SBL on the modes or the different way you play them. I think it's playing the 6th🤦🏾🤷🏾‍♂️

    Great lesson! Could you do a lesson about how to get from intermediate bass player (stuck in one place practicing 2 octave scales, arepeggios, warm-up exercises, improvising and playing a bass line created on a fly to a backing track) to the advanced bass player and what to do, what to learn, what to practice, some theory to become advanced, some scale and arpeggio exercises but for the advanced bass player? IT WOULD BE SO COOL! And many people would benefit from this lesson. A genre playing lessons would also be GREAT for example how to play rock on bass, how to play metal on bass, how to play soul on bass, how to play motown on bass, how to play country on bass, how to play fusion (jazz-rock) on bass, how to play funk on bass and of course how to play jazz on bass guitar and how to start easily with walking bass lines and slowly become more fluent in playing walking bass (everything for intermediate/early advanced bass players) ! Could you please do lessons like this? It would be awesome! You are a great teacher and thank you for everything! I hope you will do lessons like these ideas I gave you in this comment. WE WOULD LOVE THAT! Greetings from Poland, Mike :)
