    If one follows Rich's groove series and the upcoming pentatonic series, bass lines possibilities are infinite.

    Rich, I've seen your other pentatonic lessons but for me the stuff at 16 minutes in was new, and very important. You provided the piece of the puzzle that was missing for me, that connection past the 3rd shape, you called it the inverted minor pentatonic shape. Like working through the major scale modes, it makes the pentatonic scale fit together, and make sense. Thank you!

    You know how guitarists or pianists will use 'borrowed' chords from relative minors? What are your thoughts on using chord notes from those 'borrowed ' chords in basslines? Its something I've done but certainly haven't mastered when to do it

  • @SSN706
    @SSN706 3 месяца назад +2

    A thought just occurred (yes, it did hurt): Do you think pentatonic scales can relate to modes? if you start on the C, is it an Ionian pentatonic? If you start on the A, is it an Aeolian pentatonic? And would starting on the G be a Mixolydian pentatonic? I never put modes into practical use when playing, but thinking of this, it might help me to wrap my head around some alternate grooves.

    • @richbrownbass
      @richbrownbass  3 месяца назад +2

      A very logical question! These are essentially the modes of the pentatonic scale (I'm not sure if they have names), but it's a lot easier for me to think of them in terms of this 2-note system I came up with. Thanks for watching!

    • @lheggestad
      @lheggestad 3 месяца назад +1

      I thought of that, too, but when I tried to see how the modes fit into the pentatonic scale it didn't work for me.
      So, I think the pentatonic scale is mainly built around the 1 (major) and the flat 3 (minor).
      It's like it illustrates the relationship between the major and the relative minor.

    • @SSN706
      @SSN706 3 месяца назад +1

      @@lheggestad I agree. I went exploring a little and my own example proved why it really doesn't work. The G Mixolydian focuses on the flatted 7th, in this case the F, which isn't even a note in the C major pentatonic scale. Oh well, did I say that thinking hurts? :)
