This is me back again, and I just had that ah ha moment 😊. You are playing the notes in the G minor pentatonic scale, I was getting hung up on the root note. Noticed the pattern when you said up scale vs down scale. Good stuff. Thanks 😊
Great video. Actually taught me where other videos assume you already know the entire fretboard. Thank you for taking the time to make this simple to understand. Gives me something to practice regularly.
What a great lesson.I have played bass for over 4 decades and this is how young players should be taught.So different from the lessons I was given starting out,(nothing against Mel Bay)it would've made things easier.Fantastic job!
This might sound like a dumb question but can you play any shape starting on any note on the neck or do the shapes change based on what note you start on? Does the shape depend on the formula of the scale (I'm not sure what that is, but for example: whole note, whole note, half note, etc?) I'm new to scales and am not sure that it is clicking. I'm sorry if that's a loaded question or if it doesn't make sense.
I think I understand Ur question. Depends what you are doing really. Doing the same shape somewhere else is still correct, but it will be in a different key because it will have a different root note. So if you are playing a song and you move the scale shape it will be a different key (nothing wrong with that tho, can make it jazzy!) Hope this answers Ur question
Hi everyone, I was wondering, are there standard ''pathways'' or movements that I could learn to move between these and other scales? For example how would I best transition from Classic minor to Classic major? Or does that depend on rootnotes or something? I hope My question was clear enough (be kind I'm only a beginner in music theory :p)
So.... I've seen this Pentatonic scale thing presented many times, but how the hell do you use it? No one says how to put it the practical use! So if you're playing along over a "G" using the 1st pattern at the 3rd fret and your next chord is "F" do you go all the way up to the 13th fret and play the 5th pattern? Or would you just play the 1st. Pattern 2 frets lower ? Or do you just go to the "F" on the 3rd fret of D string and use the 1st pattern until you run out of notes to play that pattern on in that position?
I think basically you pick a root note. Then there are 4 more notes from thar root notes scale that are nicely placed on the fret board ergonomically. Some of that box, say 2 notes, will overlap with a new box, containing another 2 notes from the scale. All the notes in a box work together, meaning you can shift hand position between boxes to easily play scale notes. Tbh I have no idea, I watched a 2 hour music theory video yesterday and a lot of it completely opened my mind when looking at the guitar.
I understand the shapes, but my question is how to determine what notes to play in those various shapes? The notes for minor pentatonic or major do not repeat. This is a hard concept to explain here.

Best bass lesson I've ever had. Felt like the biggest step in 2 years with just noodling around with my bass. Thank you
Thank you for your insights and helpful video & friendly manner. Appreciated.
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it

Nice job, not only showing the minor pentatonic scale but the progression too. Thank you.

This was a great video. I had a really hard time learning the pentatonic scales but you made it easy. Thank you 🙏🏾
Been watching a lot of scale lessons lately, and this, by far, this has helped the most. Love the exercise shown at the end.
Aspiring bass junkie with elementary music training...
It almost looks like this is all I need

I might be late but I use it for licks.

big up to this legend
Very nice..thanks
Nice, new toys are always fun xD
can you show the graph from the beggining of every example instead of at the end? it helps some of use noobies better
Why isnt the shape the same across the entire fretboard?
the crappy music in the background is really annoying.
Not even that loud lol
@@nippy7425 tbf when you rewatch and try to focus it’s noticeable
That static "scratch" sound between cuts is totally obnoxious and annoying ! ! !
