    Love this! In '81 or '82 I saw Jaco play in the back parking lot of Musicians Exchange in Ft. Lauderdale. Mid song someone came out & whispered to Jaco. He stopped playing & exclaimed "my wife just gave birth!". I think he said twins. He then ripped thru the most amazing bass run I have ever heard!

    I think the reason behind so many bass players gravitate toward the root when launching into a solo, is that after we've been supporting everyone else all night, and suddenly when it's our turn everything else just drops out. So for us to start on something that isn't the tonic, sounds glaringly wrong to the non-musician types in the room. Now if we had something under lying our solo that gives continuity to the progression, I think more bassists would be more willing to seemingly go "outside" in this manner. Just my 2 cents.

      @zr2700 5 лет назад +4

      and this is why most bass solos suck... if we aren't playing the bass who is? The bass solo in Le freak is how a bass solo should be, in my opinion: playing a melodic groove/bassline as a solo.
      Forget Jaco or Wooten where they are playing lead melodies on the bass, no supporting grooves, when they solo.
      Basically, If someone else can sit there and play a bassline along to your bass solo, then y'all doin' bass soloing wrong!
      And I would rate Benard Edwards as the greatest bass player of all time over Jaco ANY day of the week!

    • @brettmarlar4154
      @brettmarlar4154 5 лет назад +11

      @@zr2700 Where I respect your opinion, I would have to disagree. It isn't that no one is playing bass. The bass is just taking on a different role as the soloist. The point is that I was trying to make, and think you misunderstood, is that it would be easier to venture off on more melodic endeavors if we had more hamonic support. Just some sparse, ringing chords, whether it come from the guitar, piano, keys, horns, etc. Of course the main purpose of the bass is to establish the groove/pocket. No one would dispute that. I just don't think that the bass should be looked at as a one-trick pony. If you don't want to solo, that's fine, it's your prerogative. But this guy is basically saying that it's okay to step outside of the conventional view of what it means to play bass, which is also just as cool as sticking to the traditional role.

    Hey Scott. I like to consider myself pretty advanced in music theory (going to apply for my doctorate in the fall).
    What Felix is talking about the iii/III and vi/VI degree modulations (flats or natural)- that's called the chromatic mediant- and they can be SUPER EFFECTIVE when approached the right way.
    Quick and simple lesson- when thinking of a chord progression for a musical phrase in the key of C Major, you can either modulate to these triads/scales- a Major/minor third UP, which is E-flat (Major or minor), or E (Major or minor), or go a third backwards and play A (Major or minor) or A-flat (Major or minor).
    Beethoven often did it in his music, which was a huge reason the Romantic Era spawned from the Classical era in terms of technique.
    Love your videos!
    Cheers!

    So in the key of C scale:
    CM (Ionian, 1st to 7th) - root, 3rd, 5th, 7th
    Dm (Dorian, in reverse 7th to 1st)
    Em (Phrygian, 1st to 7th)
    FM (lydian, 7th to 1st)
    GM (Dominant, myxolydian 1st to 7th)
    Am (Relative minor, Aeolian, 7th to 1st)
    B Dim (flat 3, 5, 7 - 1st to 7th)
    CM (7th to 1st)

      Over A minor it would be C major
      If you want to think of it as a scale it's gonna be modes...

      But if you're new to soloing I'd suggest focusing on the chord tones first

    No shortcuts but suddenly in 6:59 you're giving the one Felix actually uses. I liked it. Just saying:>

    why did Scott played EbM for his Cm tonality? should it be E(Major) for a C (Minor)? correct me

      No "E MINOR" would be the chord that is derived from the 3rd note of "C MAJOR" if the key is "C MINOR" however, the 3rd chord is (as mr. Scott said,) "Eb MINOR".

    Hmm, great technique! :-) Till now I used things like starting from the 6th of the scale (for example Aminor arpeggio over Cmaj chord), but as I can see it's pretty similar - almost like mirror image - cause' 6th is the lower 3rd ... so now I can start at least from lower and even upper 3rd! Great! But one question: What about playing over dim chords - for example Bdim7 - should I play Gmaj arpeggio (maybe to make that interesting G7) and Dminor7? Would that work?

    • @ajadrew

      Cmaj7 (E-7+A-7) - D-7(Fmaj7) - G7 (B-7b5) The chords in brackets are the diatonic substitutes for preceding chord, ie, you can play them in place of.

    3:19 Can someone explain why he didn't play a fourth when he got to the fourth scale degree?

    • @Michael-gq9cd
      @Michael-gq9cd 2 года назад

      Because the exercise is being designed around a major scale and a flat 7 wouldn't work within that.

    Very impressive but can you play the major scale dressed at an army major on a set of scales

    This is exactly how i am practicing guitar now. Also how are you holding this static chord here at 7:08?

      Freeze pedal, it's kinda like a sustain pedal for piano

    I'm not a bass player, but I am subscribed to your channel, which I find fascinating. Could you please bring the level of your bass to be more prominent in your mix? I find it rather low relative to your voice, but then my listening method is less than optimum. Thank you.

    What's the pedal that keeps this C major chord in loop? I need that!

    • @jameshisted
      @jameshisted 5 лет назад +2

      Pretty sure he's using an EHX Freeze, saw him do a demo on it in another video.
      I use an EHX Superego, which is basically the same pedal with bells on.

    okay, so when you were just playing E minor soloing over the c major tonality, what was the mode or scale you were playing?
