    Mr. Janek,
    Thanks so much for your hard work put into this new bass scale book. I am a classically trained violinist-and a *much* poorer bass player-and am addicted rather than put off by all sort of scale books. Violinists have (or should) practice them daily, at least a little bit-it usually takes a big chunk of practice time for me. This book next to the pentatonic scales one I bought from you earlier will prove invaluable to me as I keep growing both technically and musically as a bassist, and I particularly trust your approach due to your unique classical background and approach to bass playing. Looking forward to the madness! And to practice them daily as much as I can. Extremely grateful you went through all this work to make a "complete" western scale book for us. 🙏🎸
    (Of course already preordered a physical copy!)

    I love it when teachers teach with a 4 string base thus making it simple. Thank you for the Upload !

    Love the options for the major scale positions and shifts. I know 3 dedicated position that I often stitch together to travel around the fretboard but also think its super important knowing the formula in semitone / whole tones as well. I've found myself playing in positions that I never instinctively knew because of this, from playing it 4 notes over two strings and other options.
    Super looking forward to the new book. Looking forward to exploring those different sounds. That Major Harmonic sounds so nice. Be great to dig into this and see what kind of sounds this would vibe with. That b6 with the other tones is definitely given an augmented vibe so keen to try something like this over it.

    Looks killer. At this point in my journey where I’m looking to get into these type of scales.

    Always had a bit of block with position shifts! Looking forward to working on this 🙂

    So, I slap, walk, riff and rock, but I am a self admitted hack, I really don't know how to play, standing next to people who do has long been my trick. But I have to say good sir, everything you just said landed with me. Anyway that's a lot of honesty this early in the morning, so I'll stop there

    It gets tricky to follow along without fret markers for reference, especially at the speed you are going

      There are two things this comment brings up that are really important to consider:
      1. You can pause and skip back on any frame of any video on TH-cam, so that should negate any speed issues. If I went any slower the video would be 30 minutes long and would be more akin to a television broadcast than a TH-cam video.
      2. With music, especially on this fundamental level of major and minor scales, you should always be listening with your ears and not your eyes. Play the video and look away from the screen and challenge yourself to understand what is going on without the need to look for something like fret markers. Not only am I playing something very simple (a major scale in a key with no flats or sharps) but I’m also explaining what I’m doing verbally every step of the way.
      This is by no means meant to call you out or make you feel silly. I want to highlight how important the ear is, and how something like fret markers should be the last thing you think about. If your ear isn’t developed enough to simply hear what’s going on, then this is great information. You know exactly where a weakness is, and can pour all your energy into improving it.
      The hardest part is knowing what questions to ask yourself, and the often impossible part is being honest with the answer you give.
      As long as you identify the weakness and use that information to improve your playing, you’ll never look for a shortcut or hack like fret markers ever again.

      Been playing bass 30 years mate, from Latin to Metallica, can play it all. And that's what you call "constructive criticism", you should learn to accept it. And I won't reply twice.

    I’d like to understand as a non bass player when bass players started thinking that playing fast is a good idea? It drives me nuts when bassists overplay and it’s all too common anymore. Can anyone just play bass anymore? Your hired!

      I’d like to understand as a non (insert instrument) player why anyone would want to express themselves and just become a better player? I mean just do what everyone else has done already and get hired to play a bar gig for $100? 🙄
