Hi Dan, an awesome lesson should be learned here.. lately, I've been seeing on titled videos that you dont need to learn or use any "THEORY ".. How wrong they all are !! Theory is so essential to understanding how it all works .. love how you take the time to emphasize on how theory is sooooo important..Thanks Dan..
I think the same as you! I think it’s a lot to do with attention and getting people to click and watch. Views on RUclips are funny and I can understand methods to try and increase them.
That's the same reason I subscribed to his channel. He never gaslights us with nonsense like that. Theory is absolutely essential.
Absolute great lesson! I've been on it for three years (learning bass...) : creativity is so important....
🙏🙏🙏
youre a great teacher Dan
🙏🙏
Thank you very much really good bless you
Thank you very much teacher Dan and let's play those exercises!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent lesson and presentation, as always. Thanks, Dan.
Well said...
Excellent lesson! Learned so much! Thank you, Dan!
Thanks, Anton! Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks so much Dan!! Man, I got that Didn’t Cha Know down on the bass and drums! That video was great.
I still struggle with seeing keys as being minor ( i ii III iv v VI VII ) as opposed to major ( I ii iii IV V vi vii ) but I’m working on it. This video is a great exercise to help me with that. Thanks for another great tutorial Dan!
Great information thanks 🎶
🙏🙏
Dan, you lose me at the 3:50 mark. I understand the Fm scale, triads, 7th arpeggios for each of the notes (Fm, Ab Major, Db Major & Cm) & the aeolian mode. From the Ab Major onwards, are you playing the Fm aeolian mode for the Ab Major, Db Major & Cm, or are you playing an Ab ionian, Db lydian, then Cm phrygian? Or am I just missing that the Fm aeolian mode starting on Ab Major is called ionian etc? I don't understand how the natural minor scale (aeolian) can be the same as a natural major scale (ionian). You say start on Ab & play the same "notes" but do you mean play the same pattern as the Fm aeolian? I don't see how you can start on Ab & play the same "notes" as F aeolian.
F Aeolian contains the notes F G Ab Bb C Db Eb. When you start on Ab and play the same notes, you get: Ab Bb C Db Eb F G. Perhaps it’s more correct to say the same ‘set of notes’. Anyhow, if you play any of that set of notes but start on a different degree of the parent scale (Ab Major), you get what’s called a mode. What you say is correct: essentially F Aeolian starting on Ab is Ab Ionian. Both are better known as F Natural Minor and Ab Major (which are relative minor and major scales).
Awesome vid again.👍👍 Solid stuff. It all comes down to proper application. Thats the creative part that does not always come so natural for most. Nice work Dan
🙏🙏
Dan, love your videos. Can’t thank you enough for all your efforts. May I ask what Ibanez model that is?
My pleasure! 1982 Ibanez Roadster with DiMarzio DP126 pickups
I will have to watch this over and over just because its a struggle to learn this stuff for me. I sure appreciate your lessons, and its always nice to see your Ibanez . Its always been a favorite.. Cheers Dan !
Giving some love to the Ibanez, dig it man, dig it
Thanks! I guess that’s the beauty of RUclips lessons. You can save them and go over them in your own time as much as you need to.
I like the Ibanez roadster..

Rest in peace bass legend Aston Barrett 😢
Hi Dan… great lesson. Would love to see all those basses you have! Do you have a video on that?
I was wondering what that lightning hole is on the bass in this vid???Lol 😂. Obviously he removed a switch..made me laugh
I did nothing! The previous owner, however, did - I think it’s a horror show under that scratch plate.
I kind of do but I need to do an updated one!
It is indeed dan on this 3 min u just fried my brain 😅😂😂 do u have or did ever made a book with all this juicy stuff like all chords ,arpeggios triads for each note and scales of course ?
😂 no book other than the one that comes with my theory course which teaches all this stuff.
@OnlineBassCourses hi Dan thanks to reply I really want a book where I got everything there from beginner to pro lol so I can do at my own time if u say your book got it ill get it 😊
Off topic but around 1:10 I noticed a technique you employed that I've never heard or seen taught before. When you were playing notes on adjacent strings on the same fret, you rotated your wrist. Understandably, this would allow for faster note transition by keeping your hand in a steadier position?
I’m not sure exactly which but you’re looking at (I couldn’t quite see a rotated wrist!) but it could be the rolling technique which is actually quite common. I’ve definitely covered it in a previous lesson somewhere.
Hi Dan. I notice you keep your middle finger and ring finger in the middle fret. I thought I was playing mine correctly with all four of my fingers spread on a fret each. If this is how you recommend I play, them I'll position my fingers like yours to play better.
If you can assign each finger to a fret, do it, Dan is a great player but I'd guess if his hands were capable he'd be doing it that way too. Just a guess
It really depends on what you’re playing, where you’re playing on the neck, and your own physical abilities of your fretting hand. Being able to play “one finger per fret” is a great skill to have but isn’t always the best way to play a particular passage. Optimally you should be able to flow in and out of this technique seamlessly as needed.
I generally use one finger per fret for certain fast, scale like passages. I often use 4th finger instead of 3rd to lessen the stretch in the hand. It sometimes looks like middle and ring are playing together but they’re actually not!
Root, forth and fifth are major
The root is generally referred to as the lowest or first note in a scale (technically it’s called the ‘tonic’). The 4th and 5th intervals are ‘perfect’ not major.
Wrong huh?!?
Ty 😌
gobsmackingly brilliant lesson
That’s really kind - thanks!
