Hey Mr. Wright. I picked up the bass at about that age. Kicking 82 now. I’m a utube university bass guitar student as well. Dan is the best. Good to see another senior learning like me.

[@Williamk492]

Hi Dan, I just had a massive EUREKA moment. That Dorian (mayor 6th, in this case F#) can be used in a Dorian song as a little fill with chromatic notes to come back to the root note. So F#, G, G# to A. Thank you for this lesson! All the best from Belgium 🇧🇪👍🏻

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Awesome!

Great lesson, Dan. I appreciate your relaxed presentation of these patterns with no pretense. I like the ways you’ve pulled some useful shapes out of the scalar patterns while building on the fundamentals. I look forward to viewing your other videos.

[@andyhinds542]

I've heard some of those licks in a song by The Stranglers too.

[@runnershigh7573]

I just bought a 5 string bass because I like smooth jazz. However, I am a beginner. I play a little guitar but have never played bass. Did I make a mistake with the purchase? You can hardly find instructions on a 5 string. Nice tutorial btw. Cheers Roger

[@OnlineBassCourses]

I wouldn’t say it’s a mistake although I’d usually recommend a 4 string for a beginner. I do have a few 5 string lessons (search on my site or channel). It’s a little more specialised than a 5 but the patterns are the same and if you really want to, you can learn it with hard work.

[@BSRose-tg2jl]

Thanks for study!.
Love your bass. Is it stock Ibanez or custom?

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Thanks! 1982 Ibanez Roadster with DiMarzio DP126 pickups. I have a video on it on my channel.

[@troyholloway3648]

I love it where can i get the book

Doesn’t exist…yet!

[@rsidsuleyman1779]

Hey sir thanks for these patterns! Can u say which is major and which is minor patterns? I have a problem with this

[@OnlineBassCourses]

They’re all based around A Minor/A Dorian. The intervals are down on the diagrams. If you don’t know about intervals, I have a lesson - just do a search. 👍

[@nancydoane7864]

Hi Dan! I love this lesson watched it several times already! I think you should write a book on patterns! I tried to download the pdf but the link doesn't work. Can you send me the link please!

Great Stuff! What is the model of that PJ Bass?

[@bobstranzenbach4700]

I’m embarrassed… I know the A minor pentatonic scales up and down the neck but NEVER put together how to just use parts and sound SO much better. DOH🙄. Thanks Dan!🙂👍

[@junil153]

Hey Dan Thank you so much for this lesson. The patterns in this lessons are should be applied in minor right?

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Yes. 👍

[@RedArrow73]

That's not the bass Chris Hillman played "Eight Miles High" on, is it?

[@OnlineBassCourses]

No idea…

[@joshkny]

Is that an orange sunset transparent finish?

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Could be…

[@murwanashyakajotham5332]

Hi Dan I,am new student on this chanel

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Welcome 🙏

[@pchenghk]

the first pattern is A minor with note F# ?

[@OnlineBassCourses]

It’s A Dorian - second mode of G Major.

[@chriscureton622]

Wat brand of bass is that ? Sounds great !

[@OnlineBassCourses]

1982 Ibanez Roadster with DiMarzio DP126 pickups

[@tabonejohann]

Second one is like Sus 4 with dom7th

[@rifframm1975]

I want to be like you when I grow up Dan Hawkins

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Don’t. I’m incredibly boring. Be the best rifframm1975 you can be… 👊👍🙏

[@haappy_trelegend]

so if i use a minor shape but im playing in a major key would i have to move it to the relative minor for it to sound right?

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Yes, which would effectively mean you are using the major version since they contain the same notes. E.g. if you’re in G Major, playing G Major (or G major pentatonic) is the same as playing E Minor (or E Minor pentatonic).

[@jdb123ize]

How many common patterns are their, do a vid or vids of patterns

[@OnlineBassCourses]

There are LOADS! onlinebasscourses.com/?s=Patterns&tcb_sf_post_type%5B%5D=post&tcb_sf_post_type%5B%5D=page

[@mannysemidey6049]

How do you know and decide when it's ok to use a flat note in the scale? Noticed a lot of flats in these patterns

[@OnlineBassCourses]

You learn the formula that makes up a scale and that tells you which notes are sharp or flat. The circle of 5ths/4ths can help to memorise major and relative minor keys.

[@strannikr9497]

Hi Dan, how much time on average takes to create and record bass line for new song?

[@OnlineBassCourses]

It’s taken me anything from three minutes to three hours and more. There’s no average and every song is different.
