![6 Ways To Use Modes On Bass [Finally know what to do!]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/gUVMbs7CUt8/mqdefault.jpg)
Robbies playing is very smooth. Her chill personality really comes through
He is a cool cat for sure. Great teacher as well!
Thank you Ricardo
Robbie is a great melodic player. I've been following him for years now as well as Bret. Thanks guys
Los Angeles
Sure thing! Thanks for checking out!
Every time a watch Brett or Robbie's videos I come away with something I cant wait to use.
Awesome! Glad they are helping you!
Thank you Darrell, glad you are enjoying the lessons
Always loved Robbie Calvo. Thank you papa Brett!
Sure thing! More Robbie coming soon!
OK, definitely 'Video Of The Year 2019' in my worthless opinion (and I have no doubt forgotten some). Great to see Brett playing more in this one; many of us became Brett's disciples because we relate to his style so its great to hear how he translates these great players' stuff. Thanks guys.
I would love to see what Brett played during the wrong camera choice at 51:55. Please?
Wow Thanks! Ill take it haha! Glad to hear that you liked it. Thanks for checking out the vids!
Thank you for voting this video high on your best of list...and we really appreciate you watching and taking time to post constructive compliments!
@@robbiecalvoguitar Cheers Robbie. Thanks for the reply. Love your stuff.
Love the long format videos with Robbie, his approach is so refreshing. Great content Brett 👍
Thanks man! Love working with him. Lots more coming in the future!
Thank you so much Tim
Bret you sounded great .
Big thanks to Robbie ... you guys together was a great dynamic... I was inspired by both players and all the ideas so graciously given to us in the guitar community.. Thank you both for the education...
Sure thing! More Robbie coming soon including an amazing course! Sign up for the newsletter at brettpapa.com to be notified when it comes out!
Done 🙂
Papa gettin down with his mad feel and tone.
Great job dude...Calvio sitting right in front of you to.
Haha! Thanks man! Inspiring to play with Robbie!
It’s a „Dreamteamlesson“! The best hour of my day - I love Dorian👍Dorian is in town💥You can’t stop playing🎸🎼😎
Glad you liked it! More coming soon!
Robbies tone is fantastic.
Thank you Drexil
For sure! He sells them if you are a Helix or a HX Stomp user.
Thanks for posting this papastache!! Nice to hear what you have been absorbing!!
Sure thing! Thanks for watching!
What a treat that is ! So much clarity, intelligence and humour ! You offer us something great to work on! Thanks a lot.
Cheers from France !!!
Merci Beacoup
Thanks for checking it out! More on the way!
This is the best guitar related video I’ve seen and I’ve watched a lot. I pulled some great lines out of this video. Thanks Robbie and Brett
Thanks man! Glad you liked it! More on the way!
Have watched this 3-4 times and every time I watch I learn something new. Hope there more videos lined out with Robbie Calvo. The guy is amazing. We want more Calvo.
More Robbie coming soon!
@@BrettPapa Thanks you so much!
Great Video! Thanks for sharing. This is another Robbie Calvo course that I am patiently awaiting.
Coming soon!
I really like this guy Brett, I hope you did more with him. Such a great laid back mannerism and ease of playing. Keep your shredders I can listen to this stuff all day long.
More on the way soon Bill! Robbie is great. Make sure to check out his RUclips channel as well.
Awesome video guys. Thanks for making a longer one!
Sure thing!
Great video great track! Many thanks to both Robbie & Brett..
Sure thing! Thanks for checking it out!
I really appreciate the way you guys broke this down to what I would consider a "working man's theory" lol. So many of us know that 1st pattern and this really helps us hear the tones and target them. Brilliant!
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
Thank you so much Bob, many more cool videos to come...
Fantastic video, a great Christmas present Guys many thanks!
Thank you Tim
Funny, I just figured out that moving up a whole step trick last week playing to a Quist jam track. Going from minor on the 1 to major pentatonic on the 4. In a 1,4,5 you can move up another whole step for the 5. So it would be 1 minor, 4 and 5 major pentatonic. Never changing shape. Of course you already knew that! I always enjoy the Robbie Calvo vids.
Thanks Guys .This lesson has opened up my playing .Nice vibrato as well .Wayne
You are welcome!
Thank you for checking it out!
Thank you Keith and Robbie. I have picked so much up from you and your work. I appreciate you bringing Robbie into your studio and exposing the masses to his work and style. It is my belief that Robbie is among the top tier of instructors in the world. I have taken most if not all of his Truefire lessons for the last 8 years. Now, no matter how cold or unrehearsed I am, I now have an arsenal of Calvo inspired licks that I can tap into that has converted me into an almost semi-pro player. I am so thankful to that guy!
Thanks for checking it out! We got a ton of killer courses and content coming down the pike! Stay tuned!
@@BrettPapa I just purchased the Corey course. I started going through it.
Hi Steve, Thank you so much for your continued support...see you at NAMM?
@@robbiecalvoguitar yes indeed!
Amazing playing, by two fantastic musicians.Great stuff .Thanks Brett .tu es le meilleur .....Merci !!
Thank ya sir!
Merci Beaucoup Olivier
Robbie Calvo is incredible. i love this guy. Thanks Brett Papa
He is awesome! Lots coming down the pike with Robbie!
@@BrettPapa Looking forward to it. Just thought you should know. You're one guitar i followed from my day one beginning guitar. With your help i'm now an advanced into pro guitar player, thanks to you. Yeeeeaaaaaaaaa!!!!! [Mimicking your intro]
Guys, that was a fun jam to watch at the beginning of this video. Great content throughout, as well. Thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Thanx, guys! I learned a lot on this one; actually took me to a new level in my intermediate-ability skillset, with solo/improv ideas and abilities. Please keep this great stuff coming, unlock the other modes, as well!😎👍
Lot's more coming soon!
So glad this made sense to you. The course will cover all of the modes and give you all of those easy to apply positions of the one Pentatonic box...
Robbie is soo smoooth! Slippin on ice! Love the Revstar! Brett your playing is awesome also! Killer Vid, thanks for sharing! Happy Holidays to you & Robbie!
Happy holidays to you as well! Thanks for checking us out!
Thanks Dave
Most informative video. It’s freedom as in breaking out of the Pentatonic prison. I could listen to your music for hours. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for checking it out!
Thank you Tee
This is great Brett.Not just 1st pentatonic but all patterns two frets higher work.Ive spent hours on this.Mind blowing!Its great playing an instrument and having these eye opening moments.Thank you for having Mr Calvo on to explain this.I love smooth jazz.Plus it puts my wife to sleep.Lol.Thank you.God bless
Haha! Sure thing! More Robbie coming soon!
Super material! You guys work so well together, thanks!
Thank you Jason
Thanks! More coming soon!
What a priceless video about Dorian mode and playing solos in general. Thank you!
Sure thing! Got a course coming out with him soon which is literally the modal skeleton key!!
Brett Papa 👍
Thanks for doing this, Brett! Robbie really knows his "deep theory" (lol, really!)! I just like the way he explains it, because it get my bbbbrain wwworking! The funny thing is, I'm actually following it. I guess I know just enough to be dayngerous...
I love it!!! 👍
Thanks Jeff! Robbie is great at making the difficult seem simpler!
Thank You - this is so cool.... an idea - develop it 3 1 and off to a journey LOVE IT
Three plus 1...it's a great approach...
Robbie is a super awesome player and human.
Thanks for this.
You are welcome!
excellent...love the guests....Robbie, I have all his videos...excellent player.....thx
Awesome! Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Thats very kind and thank you for investing in my works...much appreciated...
Awesome video 👊🏻
Thanks!
I loved this video Brett! I sadly hadn't heard about Robbie before but really dug his attitude and style to playing. His Revstar looks & sounds amazing too! You were tearing it up in your solos too, sounded really great.
I had actually just learned about this pentatonic in the 3 keys trick not too long ago from a Rick Beato video. It's a really interesting idea and definitely helps breaking out of the box easier.
Happy holidays!
Thanks man! That guitar is great! Robbie has a great sound. Very dialed in! Thanks for checking out the vid. More coming soon!
Thank you so much for the compliments
@@robbiecalvoguitar Thank you for the lesson!
Really excellent content. I love Robbies approach and teaching style. I'm signing up.
Thanks for checking it out!
really good lesson! had a lot of fun playing over the progression using the 3 + 1 concept and the 1st position Am, Bm and EM pentatonic scale and then started playing them using the different pentatonic cage shapes all over the neck.I FELT LIKE A GUITAR GOD!! , thanks Robbie and papastache!
Awesome man! Glad you liked it! More coming soon!
Hi John, so glad the concept worked for you.
..."using the different pentatonic cage shapes..." - Can anyone give me a reference on these, as to form in a key, or any other info... is this in a new course to be unveiled? Thank You!
Hey brett
Been following your lesson with robbie.
Very informative, thanks!
Sure thing! More Robbie coming soon!
so friggin smooth. good stuff.

Love Robbie's interval skipping licks at 47:30! And Brett's jam beginning at 51:52! Great lesson!
Thanks for checking us out! More coming soon!

Hi Scott, we filmed a killer course covering all of the modes and more...using super simple approaches for incredible musical solos and licks
papastache102 will it be available at Brettpapa.com?
Papa! Nice vid! Great lick!
Thanks!
Almost 3k views in less than 24hrs ! Wows! Great video! The shifting of the pentatonic scale was incredible to learn about!
Its a great tool for sure. A great way of sticking your toe into the waters of the modes haha
if Robbie was my face to face teacher for two years id be so good id scare myself. awesome vid Gentleman!
Very true! I have been thinking about getting lesson from him myself lol! So good!
Wow, Doug, what a wonderful compliment...the courses were filming will give you a very in depth and next to personal approach...coming soon..
I have been taking Robbie's Truefire lessons for 8 years. Wow, what an improved player I am
Hell yeah! 😎🤘🏼🎸🎅🏼 nice Video!
Thanks for tuning in!
Wow good video!
You two sound great! Love it!
Thanks! Glad you liked it! Thanks for checking it out!
Thanks Billy, Love jammin' with Brett...good job he doesn't post the between takes banter and laughter...

Its a great sounding guitar!
getenlightened Thank you, the Revstars are killer...this is the Revstar 502TFM in Vintage Japanese Denim...we’ll worth checking out!
Awesome solo and tone from Papastache
Thank ya!
I’ve watched the whole thing now. That was such a great hour packed full of golden nuggets of information. I can’t wait to try this tomorrow. Robbie is a lovely, gentle educator with such great ideas.
Love watching you 2 play in the sandbox. It's like DeNiro and Pacino. Cillian Murphy and Tom Hardy. 2 masters, just having fun!
Lol! Always a blast playing with Robbie! He is such an amazing guitarist!
Great ideas, this session opened up my mind. Brett I have to confess that I play pink Floyd's music, I've learned all the guitar solos from you. Thank you very much.
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
This is good stuff BP
Thanks!
One of the single best and inspiring lessons from you yet.... thank you both... very much.
Thanks! You are very welcome! Glad you liked it!
Our pleasure, thank you so much...we can't do this without your support and kind comments...
Stopped video to comment after listening to the intro playing.
Tone and playing was fantastic !
Thanks for checking it out!
love this guy
Robbie is awesome!
Nice!
Thanks!
I love it nice guys u helped me a lot🎸👹 keep n rockin never stop
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Hey guys great video as usual, I am wodering something though, are you using a compressor? This tone is lovely. Cheers from France!
Vincent Konieczny Hi Vincent, I’m using the Origin Effects Cali 76 compressor...
I knew you could play leads really well, but those were some really awesome lines you played in the beginning, well done. ^-^
Also, thousands of people would fail the sus2 versus 9 chord naming test. In fact, that's the reason I would fail it too because I've been learning from some of those same people for decades now.
Another great lesson, always glad to see you uploading more. And a big thank you to Robbie, an awesome teacher and player.
Thanks! Glad you thought so. More stuff coming soon!!
Brett is a monster player and a really great interview sidekick...always have fun and manage to play some cool ideas too!
I have this revstar in the same colour (Japanese Vintage denim), it’s an awesome guitar for the money.
Yep for sure!
These sessions are so great and you make them really interesting with your simple yet detailed presentation. What software is Robbie using and how is the tablet connected. Please keep these sessions coming.
Thank you Emann, I use Logic to record my tracks. The I-Pad is running into Line 6 Helix loop input so that I can fade the tracks out with the controller.
@@robbiecalvoguitar Many thanks to reply to my message...great to have a response directly from you. Would you consider making a video on how to make backing tracks with simple chords and strum patterns against which one can exercise improvisation please?
Thanks for checking them out!
Phenomenal guitarist
Yep Robbie is awesome!
Hi Brett. Just discovered this video. Very helpful! Thanks so much. Quick question: I think you were correct at 12:01 that Robbie was playing a note in the A Dorian mode, no? Both the B he played and the F# you played are in that mode/scale, no?
Awesome
Thanks!
Oooooohhhhaaaahhhh,,,,,! This is the tastiest I ve seen and heard forever. Useable is a terrible understatement. Could you guys tell what Robbies signal chain looks like? Sounds soo un belivably good, subtle and balanced
He has a compressor going into his Line 6 Helix. His patches are for sale on his website!
@@BrettPapa ok, thx!
Hi Magnus, my signal chain is Yamaha Revstar 502TFM running into an Origin Effects Cali 76 and then Line 6 Helix.
@@robbiecalvoguitar Thx Robbie! You sound absolutely heavenly, and the soundstage you create is so haunting and inspiring I got totally hypnotized and eager to learn to build music like that. The very satisfying thing is that the questions that rose in my mind when listening were exactly what you chose to describe in detail! BR Magnus
Where were you Papa ??? Great to see you again ...Do you have a band ? Kind regards from France 🤘🎸
Been recording a bunch of products. Coming soon! Thanks for checking out the vids! No band at the moment maybe sometime in the near future.
Great lesson guys. Pity there wasn't a camera on your guitar, Brett. That was a ripping riff at 52:30.
Haha, mad bad! Sorry!
mind blown have to run home and work out these 3 positions on the progression
Awesome! Have fun!
Thank you Ross...would love to hear your feedback after you try it for yourself...
fast
Thank you I get the 3 to 1 phrase ratios as that helps me from blowing my roll to fast, am going to work on the other two positions the B min and the E min some more all the best r
Rumors of a course with you two? 👀
TRUE!!!!! Coming soon! Maybe more than one ;)
@@BrettPapa Much excite. Robbie is awesome. Youre awesome. Make it happen!
Great Sir 🙏🇳🇪
Thanks for checking it out!
I replayed the intro 5, 6 times cranked. Yeah!
Haha awesome! thanks for watching!
Very symphatetic..!
What exact model is that Yamaha Robbie is playing? love it, want one!
Hi Tony, Thank you for your message. The Yamaha Revstar I'm playing is the RS502TFM VJD (Vintage Japanese Denim)...it's solid mahogany with a flame maple top...P90 Pickups...
Hey Brett! You got to have Robbie once a mount at least!
More coming soon!
Great stuff. Is this covered in the Masters Of Modes Course by Robbie? Or is this a new course coming from Brett?
Hi Anthony, Master Of Modes covers the Major Scale approach to Modal soloing ...the new course we filmed will feature all of the approaches for Pentatonic soloing...coming soon!
Thanks Robbie. In your opinion, would it be better to start with the new Pentatonic approach course, or the Master Of Modes course?
@@anthonyc6386 Either one...if you know both scale types both will have a completely different effect. I think it's worth knowing both.
WOW! Papa its your best video.Where and what track is that..I want it now..I want to learn that Dorian style:>) By the way are you at NAAM (LA) coming up here?
Thanks! There is a link to the track in the description box below. Yes Ill be at NAMM this year. Robbie too!
@@BrettPapa Nice! Maybe we could hook up and talk about some lessons pertaining to this style at NAAM. I’ll buy you a beer..or two \m/
Thank you Dave, IK'll be at NAMM too with Yamaha Guitars...come and say 'Hello'.
Robbie Calvo I will for sure . Thanks 🙏🏼
What's d b. Track name ?? Pls is any know, thx
Is this style of music considered progressive jazz
It’s very spacey and cool
I love it
Has a progressive jazz rock feel with a sprinkling of blues
I dig it
Its kind of jazz rock. Very smooth whatever it is! Robbie has this thing down.
Hi Jeremy, it's a real mix of styles, glad you like it. The tracks in the course all have that cool laid back feel...easy to jam over.
Robbie makes that Yamaha sound like a million bucks!
For sure!
Thank you Doug...or maybe the yamaha Revstar makes me sound better?!!!...It's such a killer guitar and line of electrics. Have you seen my Revstar 720b...videos on my youtube channel
I have not but I will check them out soon as I get time. Happy Holidays.
Light bulb moments..Great video.
Robbie is great for those!
Yall remind me of spinal tap, talking about the chords “ yea but this one goes to eleven 😎
huh?
@Darrell Robinson : If that analogy is simply incorrect, then I think it's an exclamation on how much they don't get it. But that's just a guess on my part of course.
@Stephen Oz Oswald : The numbers they refer to come from the scale the chord is built from. Let me try explaining...
Let's take C Major as a starting point because it's simpler (no flats and shorps).
The C Major scale is C, D, E, F, G, A, and B.
Music theory just substitutes numbers in place of letters to explain things across different keys/scales.
So C, D, E, F, G, A, B, is *also* 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
So a C Major chord is *both* C, E and G, or 1, 3, and 5 (root, third and fifth).
When you add the 7 to make it a C Major 7 chord, you have 1, 3, 5, and now a 7 (C, E, G, and B).
When they are talking about a sus2 chord and an add 9 chord, they are adding the D note (the 2nd note in the key/scale).
Music theory at it's most basic is really as simple as: A B C D E F G and 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 (8 being the root or 1 repeated) and the only other notes are the 9th, 11th, and 13th. But learn the other stuff and those become easy to understand.
Hope that helps. ^-^
Aylbdr Madison good explanation indeed 🎸
So basically it’s like...4th and 5th chord of Gmaj and Am in the background..and playing G major scale on it..n it becomes A Dorian mode...I think it’s hardest mode to figure out...I never understand this sound..
I hope this video clarified some of the Dorian characteristics and made sense using Pentatonics to improvise.
Yes sir exactly.....n the tricks u discovered r awesome...thanks
Robbie has David Bowie’s voice...Am I the only one who noticed this ?
Haha!
Belo Blues David Bowie, Elvis and I also share a birthday...January 8th
Both Londoners
Another inversion, CMaj7 with drone open A string = Am9 (example: In Memory of Elizabeth Reed)
I love this lesson, the sound of it, but when you really can't see the fingers and you start calling the chords by, what to most people would be unusual names, It would have helped by a 100% margin to have the chords shown on the screen, if only drawn crudely on a whiteboard then drug up to show us. ( or even drawn with a Sharpie on a single piece of paper and held it up for a few seconds (then we could freeze the video to figure it out). I got lost in the description of the chords, and I know a lot of chords, but not the ones you named. For that reason alone I give this video an 8. Thanx 4 the jam track, but damn, I wish I knew what chords shapes were being used. I also would have been nice to actually name each pentatonic you were shifting to as you were doing so. You were having a guitar intellectual conversation with another very adept guitar player, but not with ME, and others like me, who needed more. You were telling Brett what you were were doing, but I would have hoped that you wanted others besides Brett to know what you were doing.
Is that a Yamaha?
Yes
😘😘
Right back at ya!
This one too haha!
All Robbie vids are great! He is the man!
@@BrettPapa Although I try to spend less time on youtube I subscribed, good conversation and your solos fire too man.
"You don't have to step outside the box if you move the box."
Haha good point!
I took lessons for a year from a guy who was technically amazing and totally boring. Everything sounded the same. I remember BB King hearing a guy shred and he asked why is he playing so many notes, doesn’t he know which ones to use?
Lol that is a good one!
TOO MANY Preview ADS ON RUclips!
I really want to see your Videos Papastache, but annoyingly, RUclips have so many useless crap ads that we viewers Cannot Avoid!
What is wrong with RUclips...!
use Adblock ! ;)
They gotta make that money lol!
Robbie has such a sliky sound, .....the guitar- i am sure's fine- but the tone is in the fingers, picking , pressure on strings and " nuances"-----dynamics---.
Hard to master.....only the previleged are able to get it right.
He works at it a lot!!!!!!
Pedro, you are so kind...thank you so much...
I know Papa, we all who love the instrument have to commit some time and effort, but the difference is in the results.....lol.
I must confess that I admire your work and the desire to bring o lot of this talented artists out of the "penumbra" , meaning exposing their talent to the followers and audience you've gathered .....It's almost like a public service .
Thank you and Robbie....he's a very humble and down to Earth gentleman.
PS....: I would recomend the Revstar along with his signature pedal the Soul Driver.
brett its just too much unnecessary yeah and okay's while robbie is talking and that totally wrecked my focus n probably rob's context.. bkz 16:53
Okay lol! Sorry man its just the way I roll.
