[@Steveperlmaster]

Awesome licks!! My only suggestion would be to explain the theory behind each one of the licks in terms of “why” those notes were played in relation to the chord tones from the progression.

[@chigozieobialor1245]

The theory to licks are modes and the notes played are notes that sound good. Licks are combination of notes ideas that sound and feel good. It also playing within chord changes. The thing about lick and groove is just learn many of them from others and in no time you will be able to create your own.

[@BassBaseBerlin]

@@chigozieobialor1245 Well I think players here ask for the "theory behind", because "somebody" could directly say "sounds good" or "not so good". I think Steve's intention is to "know in advance" where this lick is applyable or fitting to be able to use them "in a song" appropriate. And if you don't know which lick is in which scala / mode, you screw it, when you play a major-lick on a minor-chord (simplified!!! There's much more). Or to know, how you can alter the lick to make it fit.

[@BassBaseBerlin]

Yeah, I would appreciate that, too. But the licks and the playing is cool, so what I do: Try them, look which notes (not in C-D-E style but in root-third-fifth-style) are in there, what chord they are played to and then try to apply this to other songs. And watch for the chords (e.g. major / minor). And for me, the exact lick Jermaine played ... one thing, cool stuff. But I'm not learning these riffs "exactly". They give me ideas, to break out of my "standard-playing". So trying them out ... saying "ohohoh, that's a cool move, never had the idea to do _that_ move" and add this to my patterns for building my own riffs. Search for playalong tracks on RUclips - there are so many. You will find some matching your style. And then try out the licks and alter them. Have very much fun and a nice evening!

[@williamd_wu]

The first lick is the pentatonic (123 56) from the base chord C#.
C# - 1
D# - 2
F - 3
F# - 4
G# - 5
A# - 6
C - 7
Then the first lick will be like:
565 321 65 4
Why he's playing like that?
Coz he's running from 6th chord to 4th chord

[@ACGDesigns]

Bruh! All of those licks were 🔥

[@JermaineMorganBass]

Thanks.

[@hlokomani]

I’ve watched this from beginner level since last year and now I have the last one left! I need more of these. Major scale licks

[@BlackRootsAcademyOfSoul]

Brilliant 👊🏿👊🏿👌🏿❤️

[@Maverick274]

The feeling when you can play an advanced lick within 15 minutes and feel the progress of practice :). Great licks bro, I learned a lot feeling from these licks.

[@richardburchett]

This couldn’t have been any more helpful. Great licks, but also a good starting point to invent more. Thank you, my friend.

[@francoisbergeron2155]

Very practical licks right there thanks for the great content !

[@JermaineMorganBass]

Thank you!

[@jakehoneywill1]

& another thing: your backing track is nice. The licks sit nicely over it. That’s a huge aspect of getting something into your playing isn’t it? The VIBE... we only ever truly learn something by making positive associations & that’s why the groove & the atmosphere are so important in ‘absorbing’ new licks etc!!...

[@jahiasad]

Very cool video bro! Keep up the great work ;-)

[@d4ben]

Great lesson brother and even though l consider myself as a beginner the more advanced demos gave inspiration for me to push for higher playing development....Thank you so much l really appreciate it.

[@hodaridaniels8786]

I like being challenged to the next level of playing bass, it always helps to know basic scales and chords but also develop a good ear. Good dexterity always makes a better and much clearer bass tone, the four fret finger technique does help you become a better bass player.

[@donnyragsdale]

Right on. I like how you break the licks down

[@JermaineMorganBass]

+donnyragsdale Thanks man! no problem

Saturday morning. I watched and very much appreciate your video, your talent and your valuable time you take to teach. I think I got it. I am having a little bit of hard time "translating" the breadth of the 6 string to four string as I'm still kinda stuck in the "keys" and a challenge is good.

[@gwen3829]

I am also having a bit of trouble with the six string but these lessons are great,

[@lavadoraautomatica1]

This video is really really cool. The 1-5-6-4 is one of the most extremely more common progressions and this definitely pushes the knowledge of the pentatonic scales just out of the box when playing over that relative minor chord and the 4. Thanks dude really cool shops.

Thank you!

Thanks a lot

[@JermaineMorganBass]

Hey guys thanks for the comments. Not sure if you all are aware but these licks are not exclusive to 6 string bass just because they were played on 6 string. All of the licks take place within the 4 strings E-A-D-G... Just ignore the Top B String and High C String if you have to... Sorry that it's confusing to some of you.

[@theabsolute23]

Jermaine Morgan - Bass Lessons Thank you for the lesson, it was very helpful and the grooves were awesome. But I would appreciate it if you used 4 strings in other lower-level videos. The six string immediately through me off.
