I was just thinking the same thing Kev. He presents it in such a simple well explained manner without getting too much into the weeds and losing me. lol
Great lesson 👍 Good point about rhythm - it can make simple lines seem more sophisticated e.g. a run down the scale starting on the "and" of four instead of starting it on the one.
Thanks Dan love all your tutorials. I always take a lot from each and everyone of your lessons. I appreciate you sharing your wealth of knowledge and in depth explanations of why we use certain scales, arpeggios, and triads etc. I’m enjoying and becoming a better bass player thanks to you.😊
Thanks for another fabulous and learner-centered lesson, Dan. You do indeed demystify these theory gems. Every video is so practical. I’ll share your videos with anyone I know who is taking up the bass.
Now, if you can do a video on different pickup combinations and tone variations. I spent a lot of money and time on different basses before I found the styles that fit the type of music I play.
Thanks, Dan. Eye-opening in that I'm seeing you do what you're explaining. Really helpful. I'm liking your course as well. These videos of yours that pop up are a bonus.
Your videos are such a great help for me as a beginner. Things start to click quickly after watching them and practicing becomes much more fun. Every day is another step closer to becoming the bass player I want to be : ) I love playing my bass even more now, thank you!
Loved this lesson and the lightbulb moment it created re the song, ‘Time After Time’. I never previously saw the theory behind the hook section of the bass line, but once you explained it, it became instantly clear (A minor arpeggio running up and down) - Thank you. Got me to thinking that there must be loads of songs like this where the bass line runs up and/or down an arpeggio or scale. One that came to mind was, ‘December 1963 (Oh, What A Night)’ which if I recall correctly runs straight up a mixolydian scale. Is there scope for more lessons on this theme, or even maybe a book?
It’s going to be a course and hopefully it’ll come out early next year. Let me know what you want to see in a theory course (just in case I haven’t thought to add it!).
Hello Dan, please help me to understand this concept. I watched one of your videos where you said that the relative scale is the 2nd note in the minor pentatonic scale. The video featured an F minor pentatonic scale and fretting the second note which would be the A flat, I could find the relative scale to F minor which would be A flat major? Does this work that way because of the use of the minor pentatonic scale? I got confused when the relative scale in this video was not the second note, it was the third note in the natural minor scale. So does it work like this: if I am using the minor pentatonic scale it's the second note but if I am using the natural minor scale it's the 3rd or is it just simply whatever note that the minor 3rd falls on that will be the relative note/scale?
Everything you say is correct! Whether it’s the third note of the natural minor or second of the pentatonic…you end up on the SAME note. So it depends which method sticks with you better.
Hey Dan! I have a question. I have interest in your bass course. I've been playing bass for like 5 years and but have limited knowledge. I know MODES, PENTATONIC, TRIADS MAJOR MINOR but the thing is I learned these theories like 6 months ago so I am not very fluent with them. I play church/Gospel music and would like to know which course would be best fit for me? Thank you so much! God bless you! Love your free lessons too!!!

How you've presented this as well as simplified it is brilliant.Cheers!

As usual great lesson btw
Tell us more about that book Dan!

@@OnlineBassCourses how when and why you could switch from major to minor mid groove, and which modes work best with which keys?
@@stevewilson6352 that’ll all be in there don’t worry.

I love your videos! What software do you use to create backing tracks?
Thanks! Either Logic Pro X, playing/programming everything or Band In A Box.

What model is that sweet vintage Ibanez?
1982 Ibanez Roadster with DiMarzio DP126 pickups
@@OnlineBassCourses thank you for the reply. She's a beaut.
Are you telling me that an arpeggio is nothing but a TETRAtonic scale?😂 Just joking…Dan sei il numero uno!! Love from Italy 🇮🇹
