    As far as your plucking hand goes, you're on your own.

      In what way?

      Hi Dan
      I've been playing guitar 30+ years and took up bass about 3 months ago. It seems to me that fingerstyle bass players have multiple plucking options strictly alternate up or down or alternate up and across the strings combined with raking on the way down. For plucking exercises you can choose a method and stick with it but when it comes to playing an actual tune it gets harder. Should you start a repeated phrase with same finger each time it comes around? It can feel a bit off to me starting a phrase with alternate fingers each time.
      I'm going to guess your subscribers mess up more with the plucking hand than the fretting hand. Needs a lesson!
      Love your teaching style. You do the calm, personal one on one tutor video better than anyone else I've watched. @@OnlineBassCourses

      @@ChorltonM21 Thanks for your kind words! You put it very well - there are a multitude of different ways to pluck and there is no wrong or right. I'd explore different options and go with what feels natural to you. That might change depending on what you're playing but don't feel locked into the 'correct' way of doing it. There isn't one.

    Great video Dan as always! I've learnt alot from your videos thanks. I think the key maybe F Phyrigian ? that would fit nicely with the 3rd of the Phyrigian being a Mixolydian? I maybe wrong thats the thing with music there are no set rules.

    Hey Dan. Thanks for the lesson.
    I’m really coming along as 1. I was able to figure the notes by listening to you. 2. Be able to read the chords on the music sheet and play the 1,3,5,7 in different positions. 4. Most importantly realise I’m further along than I expected as you stated this isn’t a easy song but I found it rather comfortable.
    I will say I got confused figuring out what key it was in as I’m had the assumption that the one is mostly the root note. Probably due to me always doing this while I doodle.
    Thanks again. You have helped my understanding of bass and theory Tremendously

    Love it Dan. Never really thought about this line before, no idea why, it's buttery smooth and one of those grooves that work without the rest of the band, I think cos of the subtle dead notes laying down the beat that bring it to life. Something I'm slowly coming to recognise as the most important part of a groove; it's the spaces where you don't play notes that makes it come alive...

  • @soulstart89
    @soulstart89 Год назад +1

    Dan I have a question.
    The song is in f natural minor. If F is natural minor then A flat would be “major A flat” as b flat and c are minors. Is it normal for a artist to change the 7th to a flat 7th even if it’s in a major. Also would this be highlighted on the sheet music? The intro section is mixolydian which is always before the natural minor.
    The modes I learnt here have a pattern which doesn’t change no matter what mode you start on. this confused me alittle.

    • @OnlineBassCourses
      @OnlineBassCourses  Год назад +1

      There is an order to modes but no rule that anyone has to follow it. You can change keys, mix modes, borrow chords, or just go where your ear takes you.
      So often, music will not follow the ‘rules’. The relative major of F Natural Minor is Ab Major. The intro bit uses a chord not from the key.
      Think of modes and music theory in general as frameworks. Not rules to follow.
