Do you know what I really dig about you Daric ? You're down to earth. You be killing it on a Squier Jaguar while others can't begin to groove on boutique basses. It does to show you that the real value behind a bassist or any musician is found in his musical vocabulary.
In the month I've been just watching the free stuff, your worth paying I'm just broke, I've advanced more than the last five years. I'm figuring out how to play Stu Hamm just by playing exercises. You make it easy to grasp without making me feel ignorant, trait of a good teacher. Thank you.
For the life of me bro, I still can't figure out why people "dislike" videos like this. I appreciate you giving your time and sharing your passion. I'm sure you dismiss the haters. Especially if they are leaving some constructive criticism. Keep pushing!
You often hear about famous, successful, even influential musicians who didn't know music theory. However, when you TALK about music, the knowledge becomes super-useful. Great job!!!
I've watched this tutorial 3 times, and can now understand what Daric's is conveying. Now, I'd practice and clean up my movement down and up the bass! Thanks!!
ive traveled the world self taught. You are teaching me the names of modes and scales that i play all the time. Knowing your theory is definitely a plus. You cannot be an instructor if you don't know the names of what you are playing. thanks, you have a new follower.
14:03 dude I was following this lesson with my bass in hand and right at that moment it did piece together and I felt like I unlocked something in me I never had before. Gonna go through all your lessons. Thanks
Thank you Sir for the Great Lessons. What I have learned after a few years of playing is I DON'T KNOW IT ALL. Your Lessons are wonderful, Just What I needed. Thanks again.
So much knowledge crammed into one video .. the what , the why , then put in context .. throw in a few mistakes and how to fix them and a few ways to tweak what you have learnt .. and thats just the tip of the iceberg ! Of all the bass instructionals I have seen on youtube, this channel delivers the most comprehensive and comprehendable instruction .. nice work sir
Many, many thanks for this clip! The message arrived! This unique combination of these three chords (playable in all keys) is played on a loop and you can practice fantastic solo and enjoy the harmonic sounds and even be a bit proud to re-smell the world of jazz. It's a long way from there, but the beginning is over! Thanks again for your clip series, there is one clip more interesting than the other ...
Man!! Daric you are fresh dude!! I like many others have been playing over 20 yrs on tours etc.. You have the skills to break this down so awesome man!! Thank you and God Bless. A big light bulb went off in my Brian once you broke this down your way..I'm a fan and much respect Bro!
Watched a few 2-5-1 progression videos and this the first one that it actually clicked (I think LoL). Awesome job explaining it and walking us through.
I've been trying to learn What's Going on and I have to say just this lesson really helped me look at it it differently. I have a challenge in that I play left handed but with a right handed bass. But what I learned from you helped me look for alternate ways of getting the same sound. I look forward to working my way through your videos.
I really enjoy your simple teaching style. And practice practice practice is the key. Mostly playing worship sets with Christian artists. You share a great style of teaching. Thanks, Deric
Oh now I get it! Thanks watched some other 2 5 1 progression videos and your advice on going from scale, arpeggio to chord knowledge to understand 2 5 1 gave me the light bulb moment !
Great Teacher Daric. I too like so many others enjoy simplicity and effectiveness of your instruction. Keep it up. This was my first viewing I will look up the others. Take care Boss.
Explained in a circular way that comes back around, like a blues tune, made it click for me, good lesson. (hope that made sense) Also a head's up if someone yells: "C 2-5-1" on jam night, real world application.. real useful.
I'm pretty new at this base thing I've learned a hell of a lot more from you in this one little video then all about a Year's worth of videos thank you
My dude, you have earned yourself a new sub! I've watched a couple of your videos and I'm really feeling your teaching style. You're progressing through the lesson at a great pace and even backtrack without losing the meaning of what you're currently on. Really good lesson here and I'll be practicing this for sure! Thanks for the videos!
I am brand new to bass. I just bought a squier 5 string from ebay. It will be here next Thursday. Just subscribed. I can tell I will learn lots about the bass from you. You're very good as an instructor!
Good stuff. I like to think of myself as an "intermediate" player, and this lesson is very apropos. Like a lot of bassists, I sorta understood the major point, which is: You have to know which notes sound good when played in succession or together. I've known for a while, more or less, which notes on the fret board will sound good when I play them. But I didn't understood the concept of using a Mode to help determine the specific sequence of notes and/or chord. I just learned what to play by trial and error with minimal understanding of the Theory behind it. Thanks
This was right on time, My instructor gave me an Autumn leaves as an assignment and I have been playing with the chord progression this week and what do you know? Thanks Daric...
Man... I am self taught by ear and have been playing for over 20 years, in many bands, touring, etc... I have tried to figure out this theory stuff as well as scales and modes for years and years on my own but it has just never clicked for me and throws me off my groove trying to think about it. A few days ago, my brother showed me how he discovered using modes from a video from the 70s or something and it was explained to him in a way that it all clicked an made sense, and literally overnight his soloing has gotten so sick. (He had lessons before so it was easier for him to catch it maybe, but what he was telling me still made my head spin) How he explained the modes, what I wasn't getting at all, was figuring out (the 2 and 5 of the C) that those root notes represent a mode by the number they are in in relation to the 1... He was telling me this and it was making some sense but was still so confusing... Like "how do you know what mode?!!" I surprised myself by guessing the mixolydian right on this, just from how you explained the first part. You're a great teacher man. Not a lot of rambling, very simple and to the point and easy to understand. Once this stuff catches with me and I am not ONLY relying on my ear and instincts, it is gonna open up a LOT of stuff for me where I tend to improvise heavily. But I would say you definitely cracked the door with this vid man. Seriously those dots were just NOT connecting on how you know what mode to choose for each note... Until I saw this and I feel like I just got my first little breakthrough with this! Subscribing. Now I need to get the modes ingrained in my muscle memory!! Any tips on that?? LOL
Very good lesson! I''ve never experimented with chords in playing bass, so now I've got a few new ideas to do. Also, I watched a video on Scott Devine's channel yesterday which echoes exactly what you described. Both of your and his channels have very good stuff!!!
Hi Daric thank you for some great lessons,very inspiring man. One quick question,can you explain a bit more on right hand techniques. eg- is your right hand relaxed when playing fas fills etc. Thank you sit
Yeah, often when a guitarist is telling you 'the verse is A, B, D' but it turns out the B is a Bminor, they will chuckle and say 'oh i guess you dont need to know it's minor' Oh, but I do! My shortcut is for minor, start at the root and go 1 string down and 2 frets back.(flat 7) For major, I go 1 string down and 2 frets up (basically, hitting the 5th).
Daric my BROTHER I'm Learning So much from you.Amen you're giving me tools that I can use.God Bless you & where Can I get a Bass Nation Shirt?.Cool Indeed.AMEN
So now my question...if I'm playing 251 I say I'm playing dminor7 gdominant 7 and cmajor 7.....then what about modes..d Dorian g myxoledian n c Ionian...... should I solo within chords or with modes....help me confused...
I want to learn the Bass guitar. Obviously, I'm nowhere near the level of even a beginner! :) To get started, I want to purchase a Bass that will last a long time, tht's of good quality and workmanship, has a great sound and budget friendly. I see you're playing the Squire Jaguar. Other than the Squire, what other budget (less than $400) Bass guitars would you recommend? I guess for most, $400 would be considered cheap. :) Your input would be greatly appreciated!
Daric..can YOU do a lesson on how. To get a good sound ..i been playing for 3 years now i still ain't got that sound im looking for...l like the low full sounds. Can me
Hey the 5th degree of A would be “e” which isn’t in the dm7 chord. I played the root, 3rd and the 7th for the dm7 chord and left out the 5th of that chord which is “A”
Incredibly clear teaching style - you make the complicated simple instead of the simple complicated like so many other teachers- thank you!
Do you know what I really dig about you Daric ? You're down to earth.
You be killing it on a Squier Jaguar while others can't begin to groove on boutique basses. It does to show you that the real value behind a bassist or any musician is found in his musical vocabulary.
+José Damián Bazaga Ruiz ha! Thanks José! Appreciate that
+Feras Boulala Feras! Such kind words! That's one of my goals! Is to show that the majority of "your sound" comes from your HANDS! Thanks again! 🤘🏾
Good lesson Bro Deric Thanx ! I now know the difference between scales, arpeggios,& chords.
+AllThings Good that's awesome! Glad this was useful to you!
I agree. He is very pleasant and easy to listen to. Qualities of a great teacher.
In the month I've been just watching the free stuff, your worth paying I'm just broke, I've advanced more than the last five years. I'm figuring out how to play Stu Hamm just by playing exercises. You make it easy to grasp without making me feel ignorant, trait of a good teacher. Thank you.
Good teacher am so proud of you❤

Dude I have never understood chords on the bass until now.THANK YOU!!
Unlike other You-Tube bass teachers. he doesn't speak down to the student and doesn't take every opportunity to show how good he is.
14:03 dude I was following this lesson with my bass in hand and right at that moment it did piece together and I felt like I unlocked something in me I never had before. Gonna go through all your lessons. Thanks
Thank you Sir for the Great Lessons. What I have learned after a few years of playing is I DON'T KNOW IT ALL. Your Lessons are wonderful, Just What I needed. Thanks again.
Thank you Daric, your teaching is concrete and your speaking is crystal clear for a non English native.
I am looking forward to solos over 251.

love your friendly easy going style. this stuff could be pretty tricky but you make trying to learn it more enjoyable. keep up the good work.
Explained in a circular way that comes back around, like a blues tune, made it click for me, good lesson. (hope that made sense)
Also a head's up if someone yells: "C 2-5-1" on jam night, real world application.. real useful.
+Steve A made perfect sense! Glad I could help Steve
I really appreciate the opportunity learning from you!
1st lesson of your I watched. A little piece of music theory I had wondering over fell into place. Great thanks.
+Göran Thyni amazing!!! 👍🏾
thanks a lot.... with the lesson on modes.... I'm finding it very easy to understand chords....also love the way you make your explanations
This guy gets it. Knws when to play runs instead of placing them everywhere.
I'm pretty new at this base thing I've learned a hell of a lot more from you in this one little video then all about a Year's worth of videos thank you
+EDEN GATES wow, that's amazing! Thanks !

I don't even know how I came across this vid, BTW, but I'm sure as hell glad I clicked!
Do you have any tips by playing from ear
good lesson...thanks Daric
I haven’t started playing yet but this makes perfect sense to me. I can’t understand why.
Very good lesson! I''ve never experimented with chords in playing bass, so now I've got a few new ideas to do. Also, I watched a video on Scott Devine's channel yesterday which echoes exactly what you described. Both of your and his channels have very good stuff!!!
Very good ive be tought the same way many years a go before the net.
I love this video. I can see obviously this will help me ameliorate my play. Thanks.Please I need the link to start from lesson 1Thanks,Alex
Big help Daric thx ... explained excellent 👍 and subbed
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks Daric! Loved the lesson! Can you make a video with a backing track where you are actually implementing the chord changes?
New sub, appreciate you man! Great lesson
Nice video. I'm a beginner and it helped me
just subbed. you are the best man!
+TheGothGaming awesome!

Thank you Daric!
I really needed this bro. I understand this better than ever. Awesome breakdown
Good bass lesson, thank u
Hi Daric thank you for some great lessons,very inspiring man. One quick question,can you explain a bit more on right hand techniques. eg- is your right hand relaxed when playing fas fills etc. Thank you sit
Of course I’ll go over that inside of a lesson! Thanks !!!
Thanks for the lesson
Another good one!
Enjoyed, very informative... Tks
Awesome lesson! Thx for posting!
You are a Good teacher.
Good stuff man!
I thought it was 251 progressions😂😂 it actually 2_5_1 😜😜 thank you Daric
Yeah, often when a guitarist is telling you 'the verse is A, B, D' but it turns out the B is a Bminor, they will chuckle and say 'oh i guess you dont need to know it's minor' Oh, but I do! My shortcut is for minor, start at the root and go 1 string down and 2 frets back.(flat 7) For major, I go 1 string down and 2 frets up (basically, hitting the 5th).
Soon as I hear your theme I can hear and see the elderly person on the OHIO PLAYERS Funky Worm---now that's funky! Take care of those hands dude!
Daric my BROTHER I'm Learning So much from you.Amen you're giving me tools that I can use.God Bless you & where Can I get a Bass Nation Shirt?.Cool Indeed.AMEN
Do u leave out the 5th on the major and minor to get that nice chord sound??
So now my question...if I'm playing 251 I say I'm playing dminor7 gdominant 7 and cmajor 7.....then what about modes..d Dorian g myxoledian n c Ionian...... should I solo within chords or with modes....help me confused...
Cool dude. Very personable.
I want to learn the Bass guitar. Obviously, I'm nowhere near the level of even a beginner! :) To get started, I want to purchase a Bass that will last a long time, tht's of good quality and workmanship, has a great sound and budget friendly.

I guess for most, $400 would be considered cheap. :) Your input would be greatly appreciated!
Very helpful thx.
Daric..can YOU do a lesson on how. To get a good sound ..i been playing for 3 years now i still ain't got that sound im looking for...l like the low full sounds. Can me
Best on how to play chords
Like your style in bass lessons sir.
good job
+Peter McGuinness thanks Peter!!!
Definitely need to subscribe to this !
Hey, for the dm7 chord, why did you not play the 5th degree of A and just play the seventh like D F C?
Hey the 5th degree of A would be “e” which isn’t in the dm7 chord. I played the root, 3rd and the 7th for the dm7 chord and left out the 5th of that chord which is “A”
