The best bass channel on YT is not the one with a million subscribers. It’s this one. For the intermediate player who wants to learn meaningful licks and fills to move to the next level, this is where it is at. Great channel. Been playing keys for 40 years but never been more than a beginner on bass. This station can move one to the next level. The million subscriber channel may be entertaining, but it wont change the way you play. Thanks Dan.
Bass is awesome. It's a real one man band instrument. Low enough to keep beat, high enough for melody. Stick with it. I've been playing guitar/bass for over 25 years... the gift of being able to play is of the best you'll ever give yourself, I promise
i would like to also i just feel it always playing the air bass when i hear songs i like funk r n b etc im 62 what do you suggest as a starter bass 4 string not to expensive but i dont want to out grow in in a year or so
@@rar6178 Go for it! Sire basses are good and cheap. To be honest, I'd get down to a shop and see what feels good that is in your price range. Second hand is a good option too. There are loads of amazing cheap basses out there now: Vintage, Squier, Sire, Ibanez, Yamaha etc.
Dan, I've been watching your videos now for quite some time. And I just have to say that you are the only one that has ever been able to make the light bulb go on for me! You have a special talent for explaining in a way that is not overbearing or too technical. Thank you! After 40+ years of messing around I might actually become a real bass player because of you...
I'm just gonna say it: I was between different sources of online courses, everytime I started on another one, ended up with Dan's videos and material course on his web page(tons of free stuff). Everytime I see your videos, after 20 years of playing, lightbulbs are still going off! Amazing! I will soon pay your sub and support your channel. Your teaching methods = "This is the way".
Best thing about these videos and I think you said it , if you're getting it go to another and come back That's what I usually do. But I'm getting a little better. Thank you Dan.
This was first 45 I ever bought. I practice using "Fly Me" but never realised it's the same but will definitely add disco to it from now on! It's great advice to use a song like this to add more fun to practicing
Thanks for this! It's a great demonstration of using the diatonic chords of C major, which are the same chords of A minor, except for the E Dominant, which as you mentioned comes from A Harmonic Minor. The diatonic modes can be applied to each chord. Ami is Aeolian, Dmi is Dorian, Gmaj is Mixolydian, C maj is Ionian, F maj is Lydian, B dim is Locrian, E7 is Phrygian Dominant. Brilliant!
Thank you very much Dan. I will have to play this piece in 1 month on the occasion of the centenary of the company where I work and all that helps me a lot ! 🙂
I've been doing a study of Fly My To The Moon, with THE Phil Mann. Just ran across this video. Such different genre, but same chords. I'll be checking out more of your videos, thanks much.
I had mentioned in previous comments that I've immersed myself in arpeggios of late and you have delivered big time luckily for me.This is a fun way to help practice them.The weekly news letter contains some other tasty morsels,like "Groove is in the heart" which is a great riff.You're on a roll.
Great job ! I played this song on bass night after night in Top 40 bands back in the 70's but I never took the time to analyze it in the depth and level you've taken it. It seems we were always under pressure to keep learning songs at a fast pace to keep up with all the requested songs that successful, full time top 40 bands were expected to know. The usual routine was that a cassette would be passed around the band members, you'd learn your part fast and then pass it on to then next player. I'm tempted to go back and re--look at much of that material back then and see everything that I was missing ......... Much appreciated and you are a fine bass player. ......Nice bass and tone !
@@OnlineBassCourses I still have a few from back then that were used for learning songs, but they've sat in their cases for decades. I just can't seem to part with them.
Teaching technique like no one else! Impressive. You have this unique ability to provide so many insights and basics by building bridges and links to various concepts throughout the lesson! I am really greatful. Merci!
Dan Just picked up on your Content - I’ve mastered the Bass playing fundamentals and I mean at a Novice Intermediate level and know that I have up my game with regards to Theory and Practice - It’s tackling that element of development I tend to skip as I end up playing the bassline to Rio (Duran Duran) or similar because it’s more fun - You’re content has me motivated to ‘Make more of an effort’ - Thanks for your time and Content 😊
Me neither. I was looking for a new very cheap bass and then found this old quite cheap bass and knew I had to buy it (actually my lovely wife bought it for me!).
Just wanted to point out for those who might listen to the original recording and don't hear quite as much movement - this version is much closer to the cover from Cake on the 1996 album Fashion Nugget.
Excellent video. Definitely a couple of light bulb moments. I will be re-watching a lot. I do not know the fretboard well enough yet but this video has given me a lot to work on. Modes I don't quite get but the Chord thing looks brilliant. Lots to unpack. Thank You.
Thanks for the inspirational video Dan! I will be watching the video again to let it sink in my head and hands. Even though I'm still new, I'm not too confused because you explain music so well.
...a bit lost? Yes, Quite Lost! But? I finally found the light switch, and realized, there are many light bulbs...and they are starting to flicker! This was explained so beautifully. Why it makes more sense when YOU explain it, and not so much when others do? I don’t know, but you’re getting through to at least one of us. So thank you. Cheers
Brilliant video,thanks for the upload 😎 ..... the Beatles once said "all you need is love" but, I feel sure Macca really meant "all you need are chord tones" And now it's been pointed out it's obvious that one of my favourite Sinatra tunes has the sae chord🤔😊 progression as I Will Survive
wonderful lesson , as always. something i dont quite understand are the modes of the harmonic minor different form the modes of the natural minor? could you please do a video explaining the difference if there is one
Had only seen your gear reviews in the past but this lesson is very well thought out, nicely delivered, plus you seem like a very nice person. Subscribed !
Awesome lesson! My band want to play the “cake” version. Is there anything I should know ? Im intimidated from hearing it but want to give it a shot. Not a Theory guy more of a cover to play guy. Any advice ?
I love this lesson! I’m really interested in getting to the bottom of why different modes are played over the same chord. For instance, you play Aeolian over Am7, but Dorian over Dm7. I’m guessing it has to do with scale degrees. Could you possibly point me to a resource that explains this?
It's exactly to do with that. A B C D E F G spells out the formula for A Aeolian and D to D is D Dorian. Simple as that! Thanks for watching! I have a couple of mode lessons on my channel you may want to check out...
It’s all subjective. This bass has more presence and bite than a mellower sounding P bass when both are played in isolation. That sounds ‘better’ to many ears even though the P in a recording is arguably ‘better’ in many situations. All slightly different flavours!
Am i right in saying that the Em7 is replaced by a E7 (arpeggio) that is based off the phrygian dominant mode (a mode from the A harmonic minor scale?) because the 'pull of the Em7' isn't strong enough to resolve the progression?
@@OnlineBassCourses Thanks Dan. I scrolled down and read some more comments - you mentioned it being heavily modified. If you have any info, that'd be great (not too complicated - I'm normally a drummer!)
Hang on, light bulb moment again... ..... Hotel Califoria, this also follows this pattern of lots of 4ths if ascending (or 5ths in descending) if I understand this correctly....which I probably don't😊
Love your channel Dan but would you possibly look at some punk bands music, I’m sure there are plenty that are musically worth looking over ( having said that I am bias of coarse) I quite like JJ Burrell of the Stranglers, as a side I did see your bass still has the hole in it !!!!
Do you really think. People like Jimi , Bebe , people like that knew Dm or the whatever you're talking about? They just played . Doubt they knew a scale or note
Agreed. I've mentioned a similar point numerous times in my videos. It doesn't, however, mean you shouldn't learn it or can't make great music because you know some theory. Anyway, they probably *did* know a lot!
I'm not college instructed. But thanks for thinking I am, I guess! You don't have to go to college to be a decent musician. You won't believe it, but people do free lessons on the internet these days.
Committing enough time to learning a craft is a lot of people’s issue. It’s tough as people have jobs and families etc. But, if you truly want to be really good, you do have to put in quite a lot of consistent work. No way around that unfortunately!
@@OnlineBassCourses sorry Dan, frustration was getting the better of me! I DO appreciate your video content. When videos turn to modes scales and chords and all that goes with it, I hit a brick wall! It’s like dyslexia, I struggle to take it in. I don’t think I’ll be engaging in a world tour anytime soon😂 Keep up the good work Dan😈
@@johnmcguigan6717 it sounds like you need to go to the very basics. Learn a major scale, then a triad, then an arpeggio, then how to form a chord. Then major scale harmony, then modes. It’s really simple once it clicks and once you learn it properly.
