I'm a self taught player, I've been playing for many years but I don't know that much on the theory side. I found this really interesting and helpful, thank you for sharing your knowledge, it's appreciated more than you realise.
@@emmander594 lol here's one that should keep you busy for the next couple years, if you can Master it you will be one of only a few. I learned this from Steve Harris I think. It's easiest to start out on OneNote. Right hand picking hand. It goes like this. Pointer finger, middle finger, ring finger, back to middle finger, repeat. If you get good at it you can do it in any order you want based on the sound you want to produce. Each finger sounds different. And you'll be faster than anybody who plays with a pick.
@@marcs4091 I'm self taught to and picked up a weird habit that I still play with today. Unless I need speed I play with my right hand using thumb, pointer, middle, and ring with each getting their own string. This way my other strings are constantly muted. If I need speed then I go with the standard two pointer and middle. I might try to incorporate the technique you have shown. That seems tricky but yeah over time would become second nature.
@@jbelcher74 yeah its definitely a little tricky. Now that I think about it I lead with my ring finger. You can start out going ring , middle, ponter, repeat Like the typical Steve Harris galloping bass line. I'm also pretty much self-taught for the most part. I think I started playing in 1990. I still got it, but it definitely gets harder the older I get. The only thing I ever really learned was the modes, the seven tone major scale. Never even really bothered with the Pentatonix. In college from time to time I would jam out with some of the school band geeks. They're always kind of dumbfounded how I could pull out of thin air somewhat complex melodies and play them over what they were playing, not knowing 1/100 of what they knew musically. The seven tone major scale was my secret weapon. Another piece of advice I would give to other bass players is, there really is no right way to play the instrument. Back in the day I heard an interview with Victor Wooten back when he used to play like he was a wizard. He said something to the extent of, as good as he is, he can let his two year old daughter play his bass and she can produce sounds out of the bass that he could never produce just by banging on it.
Your ability to teach and explain things concisely is unparalleled. You are a gift to bass players who want to get better at their instrument. Thank you.
I’ve been playing guitar for more than 40 years. I’ve been playing bass like a guitar player for about 8 years. I love your instructional videos. I am beginning to play bass like a bass player now. Thank you!
I learned the 5 pentatonic shapes maybe a two years ago. The hard part with them is connecting them together and moving between them. Once you do that, as long as you are fairly familiar with your intervals & major scale shapes, it all connects up nice and simply. Along the way, I also added chord tones. My next major feat will be modes. These exercises def. help someone like me.
The coolest lesson ever. This gives an ocean of possibilities. Thank you Scott for such great Inspiration and structural precision layed out in no time!
bro ive been playing bass and guitar for so long, like 9 years with just me and the instrument listening to songs and playing them by ear, finally i have a laptop of my own and this is just a goldmine to practice
Though I'm a hack bassist at best, my ex bassist, taught me the major blues scales, minor blues scales, "walking" the chord (playing the notes making up the chord), & playing octaves (when unable to figure out a tasty groove). He said almost all the songs use those scales (I call them the blues scales Major & minor, he didnt). He's actually a fabulous bassist. I found his advice was priceless, & after messing around with the scales, I figured out all kinds of tunes. Any way, that's what I learned. I like your lessons as well, but a "close up" of the shapes would be helpful, for old guys like me. I'm a guitarist of 50+ yrs, fake it on piano & bass, & can program a drum machine with the best of them. Just found you this afternoon. Cheers!
HALLELUJAH!!! I'VE SEEN THE LIGHT!!! This lesson has helped me move on to another plateau in my playing...for others out there, spend a few days on this and you too will benefit from watching this video... Thanks again Scott!
A great (mostly) pentatonic scale workout is the break in "Sir Duke" by Stevie Wonder. Starts at "B" on the "E" string up to "D#" on the "G" string and back down to "F#" on the "E" string.
Just realized it's like playing Tetris on bass. All the shapes fit into each other, there is no tone of any shape crossing into the one before. Maybe this is super obvious to everyone, but this helped me a lot...
It's when you start recognizing those patterns, that you make progress. I have yet to learn a lot, but I am confident it will feel natural to me at some point.
I learned "the shapes" after the first month of owning my first bass and equipment. ( KINDA) I MEAN the laws of probability point toward skipping frets up and down the strings. The thing is if u are just starting out KEEPING YOUR MACHINE IN PERFECT TUNNING IS CRUCIAL. Having your bridge and strings setup perfect for you too. You want to hear clear notes all the time.
Love the 2 string groupingsfrom low to high and high to low. Makes the Pentatonic come across as a lot less "mechanical", if that makes sense. Great lesson. Thank You!
SOLD! This lesson is gold. I literally feel like playing through this lesson and practicing has taken my playing to another level. It sounds ridiculously cliche, but it has. Thank you! Oh, and I signed up to the academy for a year. Your lessons and material are with out a doubt top notch!
I enrolled a few weeks ago and it's worth your while, i'm actually baffled by how much content you get for that ridiculous price and the quality of it. I understand times are tough and enrollments are not for everyone these days but I learned more with his lessons in 6 weeks than in one year in music school ... That's my honest opinion.
I enrolled also and I will tell you this I have learned more about music in the last month that I have in my entire life from any lesson in person or RUclips video sbl is golden
This is huge for me! I keep seeing you driving the entire neck and say to myself... Am I EVER going to get this? Thank you so much for breaking this down into bite-sized pieces. I'm hoping this is the springboard to understanding how to play the pentatonic scales on the other chords as well. Thank you SOOO much for this, Scott!
The base lesson itself is very useful... However the upside down graphic is not. Even if you're sitting in front of a baseplayer trying to learn what hes doing the notes do not turn upside down!!!
Wow! I just found this channel and I am finding the dynamic charts superimposed directly below the closeup of the fretboard incredibly useful. So much easier to follow. Thank you. Subscribed.
Then try starting on the Low E and play it in a "three notes per string patern" and your there!!...that's the E minor pentatonic!!...play it assending right up to the high G (12th fret of the first string) and descending all the way back to the low E!!...pretty cool!!...
Thank you Scott another amazing lesson, loved it. The only thing you missed talking about but played it anyway was going up on one shape and coming back down on the adjacent shape. You played it but didn't mention that as a good exercise to do too. Other than that? Amazing. Good stuff!! So practical and useful. Tod
Interesting vid. I own a Fender Rascal which I really enjoy for reasons of a high variety of tones, ease of play and portability. My Aerodyne sis my go to bass for gigging but have used my Rascal a few times with no issues at all.
I first learned the major scale patterns, unknowing they were lined up in a grid, then I learned all major scales at one position of the neck, without learning the octaves, then I learned the pentatonic shapes, realizing they were in a grid. Then I learned intervals, then I learned the diatonic 7th arpeggios, then I learned that the major scale pattern could be put on top of the pentatonic grid, then I learned the melodic minor pattern as well on this grid. then I learned the regular arpeggios. yup. take lessons, kids. intervallic soloing I'm having my eye on now.
I noticed that you're playing a Fender Precision. The waist on the guitar body is higher, more toward the neck than on the Fender Jazz. To me, this makes it easier to hold on my lap. I didn't know this, and just bought a Jazz I like. I'd like to make the Jazz work for me. Comments? Thanks
Well, one of them anyway. But it never hurts to see/listen to other teachers such as Josh Fossgreen (Bass Buzz), Mark from Talking Bass, Luke McIntosh from Become a Bassist and off course James Eager from ebassguitar.com. They all have their own way of teaching and some might suite you more than others. As do I. I see them not as competition but more complementary. But I tend to come back to Scott's shed very often and still admire the fact that he keeps pushing me to set the bar that much further every time with these kind of essential but simple trainings. He's a real gem!
Hey Scott I'm one of pentatonic player it is my culture but this was question for long time for me you help me solve it 😉 is it the same with other majors as well thank you so much I will go register in your lesson on line I love how you teach. Much respect teacher
Thanks Scott and SBL. Your video lessons online are really great and stimulate new ways of thinking and extending from present awareness. ☮️ & 💜 from Melbourne 🇦🇺
Scott, First, Thank you! you have been a godsend during this COVID shut down. I'm lucky enough to be employed and working from home. I took up the Bass because there is nothing else to do! My question: You say to change your strings when they get " OLD" A fruit fly lives for 48 hours, a tortuous can live 150 years. I've been playing for maybe 3 months, How old is " OLD"?
It's an "it depends" question but basically when you're no longer getting the tone you want. One of my basses I use for bright and punchy and it's every few months to keep that "piano" sound. The other is for warm tones and it's every year or so. Some people never change their strings.
Thanks Scott. I watched your older video about these patterns the other week and then started learning the finger patterns and theory from Ariane Cap's book only 6 days ago. This week's video has given me some new ways to practise connecting the various shapes. Thanks again.
Thanks for the video. It helps alot. I downloaded it and I'm like, watching it frequently (every now and then) to memorize everything taught here. Thanks again👍
Scott, I really miss these 'instructional' type of videos...although I understand why you have changed the format. Don't get me wrong, I really like the new format of videos, but thanks for throwing in this one! BASS '):
Im sorry for butting in, after all, you did address your question to Scott. But if I may, Gabriel, I've been having great success with D'Addario XLR Half Rounds (ENR71). My Thunderbird is strung with Regular Light Gauge (.045 - .100) long scale strings I get old school motown tone to a snappier version of Geddy Lee's jazz bass sound. No way trebley like Marcus Miller for slapping, but I don't play that style of music with my T-bird anyway! Strictly pre - 1980s styles for that bass. And with a Boss M50B on the defretting setting and some careful eq-ing it sounds close enough to an upright bass for my needs. That said, I can dial in the opposite tones with the right settings I can get away with playing songs by YES. Not a true Rickenbacker sound, but a very close brighter, Chris Squire type tone. Like a bass with P and J pickups to get "the best of both worlds" from one guitar (but not really 😉), so the half rounds are alike! I hope this is info you can use, and please excuse my intrusion. ✌
i want to thank you so much for your lessons..I recently bought a bass (the instrument I started on before focusing on guitar) and I'm getting good quick because of you...fortunately I already know scales and harmony..I have one question..why the glove on the left hand?
he has a condition where his hand shakes and having something touching it seems to stop the shaking im fairly sure its a neurological thing but dont quote me on iy
Dear Scott, Would it be possible to make an interview/lesson with Mitsuru Sutoh? He is one of the best Japanese bass players of all times. He is still alive, and this could be a chance for everyone who likes funk, pop and jazz. Unfortunately, Tomohito Aoki, also one of the greatest guys, passed away in 2006 due to an acute heart failure. These guys, including Tetsuo Sakurai and Yoshihiro Naruse were the funk gods in 80s playing on numerous hits. Mitsuru Sutoh has played with Tomo Fujita not a long time ago, he is really really good. Please, give us this chance, these musicians deserve to be remembered. Funk is alive ✨
Where it lost me was right at the end, you did the big beautiful g run from 3rd to 12th fret, but then changed to start from 7th fret b, Is it the same shapes as what we learnt today, meaning are we still in g ? Or is that a change to b ??

Printed it out and gave it a try. The 2-string groupings really show what's happening. I wish I'd had this under my fingers 40 years ago!
Don't know how U bn playin the last 40 yrs. but whatever U do Don't overthink it & don't lose Ur Feel. U never Wana sound like ur doing exercises
I can't find where to print these?

So grateful for all your lessons. Thank you!

Awesome video just what I needed to expand my playing thanks
That P bass is a great sounding bass.
Just have to get it all clean and then work on speed. Fantastic lesson, Scott. Your Da Man!
Amazing video and great PDF file. I was taking screenshots and scribbling down notes until I remembered.. PDF!
Thanks Scott - Great content as always!
That effort wasn't wasted - those are the bits that will really stay with you.
Awesome explanation!
Great Scott Thanks so much!
One (actually: 3) of your very best training-tips Scott! Thnx a bunch!
what are the others? Asking for a friend
For those with extended range basses, think of it as two sets of three frets, followed by three sets of two frets. 👍
Great approach
Scott always brings it!
one of the very few channels to which i subscribe, and it's worth every second i spend on it.
Thank you so much...this is what ive been wanting to learn
Another great lesson - a must have - Thanks Scott
Very important bass lesson!
Great lesson! thank you for this.
Thanks a lot! Gonna be super useful
one of your best lessons
very good exercice scott's thank you
Hey Scott, what strings are those you're using? Sound like flats, but also brighter than the ones I've tried...
They might be D'Addario Chromes.
Can't answer for Scott, but you can try EB cobalt flats if you're looking for brighter tone. They're my choice.
The gloves also probably mute a bit.
Im sorry for butting in, after all, you did address your question to Scott. But if I may, Gabriel, I've been having great success with D'Addario XLR Half Rounds (ENR71). My Thunderbird is strung with Regular Light Gauge (.045 - .100) long scale strings I get old school motown tone to a snappier version of Geddy Lee's jazz bass sound. No way trebley like Marcus Miller for slapping, but I don't play that style of music with my T-bird anyway! Strictly pre - 1980s styles for that bass. And with a Boss M50B on the defretting setting and some careful eq-ing it sounds close enough to an upright bass for my needs. That said, I can dial in the opposite tones with the right settings I can get away with playing songs by YES. Not a true Rickenbacker sound, but a very close brighter, Chris Squire type tone.
Like a bass with P and J pickups to get "the best of both worlds" from one guitar (but not really 😉), so the half rounds are alike!
I hope this is info you can use, and please excuse my intrusion.

Superb Scott. Thank you 🙏
Good job. Wish i could afford your classes. Solid lessons all around. 😉👌
After seeing this now I'm going to be quite fond of the major pentatonic scale.
Nice one, thanks Scott !
Thank you very much, sir👍
Dear Scott,
Would it be possible to make an interview/lesson with Mitsuru Sutoh? He is one of the best Japanese bass players of all times. He is still alive, and this could be a chance for everyone who likes funk, pop and jazz. Unfortunately, Tomohito Aoki, also one of the greatest guys, passed away in 2006 due to an acute heart failure. These guys, including Tetsuo Sakurai and Yoshihiro Naruse were the funk gods in 80s playing on numerous hits. Mitsuru Sutoh has played with Tomo Fujita not a long time ago, he is really really good.
Please, give us this chance, these musicians deserve to be remembered.
Funk is alive ✨
i learned a new pentatonic shape today, thanks man
just one?
@@davinchaffin6839 oh okay, i' m gonna fix it now then
Thank you for this, helped me a lot!!!
Another reet good bite size lesson - thanks!
Thanks for sharing. . .
Awesome Scott. Great exercises.
Excellent lesson. Thank you so much. Help? This lesson is in G major right. What if I wanted it in C. Is it the same shapes?
Thank you Scott!! Was looking for some new exercises to play and this was great for my skill level (self-taught beginner of ~8 months)
Where it lost me was right at the end, you did the big beautiful g run from 3rd to 12th fret, but then changed to start from 7th fret b,
Is it the same shapes as what we learnt today, meaning are we still in g ?
Or is that a change to b ??
Morning pratice for a month and it's down for life!!...
Many thx
Good lesson ☺
