Dan, I think you're the best bass teacher on the internet. I've seen lesson from SBL, Charles B, and others but your teaching works straight to the point. May your channel grow into a million subscribers.
That's Awesome, gonna use that scale pattern not even on F.. sounds good for fills!! then slide to the its highest octave root note before the chorus or verse!!
Good morning Dan enjoying your bass guitar lessons for about a year enrolled onto your Funk bass course thank you and please keep it up great job sir 🎉
Great advice Dan.I always suggest to new players that have asked for advice that learning the neck isn't a bad place to start.Next time I'll lead them to this video.I always tell them to check out your site anyway.👍
Very new to music and playing the bass, you are the best online teacher I have seen so far thank you for sharing so much content. Just need to work on practice time. All day every day if I could. 😊
Great idea to learn the fretboard. Going to work on that. I'm almost done the funk bass course, and on black friday decided to get the motown one. I think I'll enjoy it even more than the funk one, and I enjoyed that one a lot.
Another really practical lesson, thank you. BTW whatever happened to your JMJ Mustang? I absolutely love mine, I remember you said it was having new pickups fitted, curious to hear which ones and how that turned out if you have a few minutes I would love to hear all about it
This is exactly what i was looking for since a "little long" time ! Have you got the same lesson with the major scale, ionian mode, by chance? Thank you for your lesson.
Daftish ? There's so many different styles of electric basses out there and I like a well rounded style of music, U2,Rush and Iron Maiden, 3 bands but also 3 different styles of bass guitar so short of me buying one of each of the styles how the heck does one figure out what bass guitar to get first, or should I go on the body shape more than the pick-ups used please 🥺
the question all this brings is how do you hear so many correct notes in such a slow piece of music. I'd play about 90% less notes than you and yet all those you chose seem to work somehow.
Great question. It’s a combination of knowing the patterns and notes that will sound ‘correct’, and working hard on my ear to hear all the intervals and sounds those notes are going to make. This one’s in F Minor. Learn those patterns, play them, and it’ll sound ‘right’!
Great excersise and thanks for the backing track. Best time I ever spent learning was to pick a note and find and play every one of them on the fretboard as fast as could. Start at the neck and work up and then back down. Up on F, down on G, etc. But yes @philprice5712, the music makes me play less notes and I tend to hang on long F notes. Dan got some great groove......

They’re both brilliant teachers and players. I’m just happy to be in the arena! Thanks very much for your kind words.
Again. Got the concept. Thx
Thank you for these wonderful F scale progressions. These are going to hit the spot for me this weekend.
That's Awesome, gonna use that scale pattern not even on F.. sounds good for fills!! then slide to the its highest octave root note before the chorus or verse!!

Nice way to unlock the fretboard. Thanks Dan

Thanks very much. Just play as much as you can. As long as you’re consistent, that’s the main thing!
lOVING THE INFO THANKS AGAIN DAN.
Hi Dan, love the channel. Keep em coming.
Thanks, will do!
Thanks Dave, very helpful. I'm going to start using the cycle of 5ths to practice this
The tone is so good, can you make a signal chain video perhaps?
Thanks! I actually have a video on that: ruclips.net/video/70FYURah5nU/видео.htmlsi=juUc-TImZNlh236t
A real foundational lesson !!!
Great idea to learn the fretboard. Going to work on that. I'm almost done the funk bass course, and on black friday decided to get the motown one. I think I'll enjoy it even more than the funk one, and I enjoyed that one a lot.
Excellent. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the Motown course!
Wooow thanks for this vedeo
another great vid (y)
🙏🙏

It’s back and I’ll bring it out soon!
This is exactly what i was looking for since a "little long" time !
Have you got the same lesson with the major scale, ionian mode, by chance?
Thank you for your lesson.
Thanks! I probably do have a major scale backing track but you might need to search on my site. There’s a search bar on the ‘free lessons’ page.

Get a Fender Jazz. That’ll cover everything. Geddy Lee has a signature Jazz that looks pretty cool.
Lovely Stingray!
Making me miss my blonde bellbottom MM that I stupidly sold.
Do you use stainless or flats Dan on this stingray
Old-ish stainless steels, treble turned down
May I ask how you achieve that warm, clean and "trebless" sound on that StingRay? That sounds awesome! Like not StingRay!
Turned down the treble a lot! Bass up and old Elites Stadiums strings.
Dan all the backing track did you practice only in f minor all changing notes? thank you
F natural minor and, briefly, the relative major key of Ab major. 👍🙏
