How to Learn Your Circle of Fourths and Fifths for Bass Players!
Great stuff! I would also recommend listening to horn players - especially sax players. They do this stuff constantly and you can learn a lot from them.
You are awesome. Such a great way of explaining this very important portion of theory that tends to be missed.
@@dogmatickarma9846 that means a lot, thank you!
I hope more drummers find your channel... These ideas are so relatable from a drum set perspective. Great idea. Gonna apply this to my next practice session. 🤘🏽
Can you dig in to your solo. What is the chord progression and what are you doing. It is so cool !!!
@@jonitaite6800 thank you! Happy to... I was just thinking of the first 4 measures of a typical blues progression: F7 to Bb7 back to F7 for two bars
What did you play
I laughed at the thumbnail lolol
Bass tone is epic fella. Is that a bb424x
@@craigjones2050 thanks man! Yep that is the one! Love this thing
Something is different between you and almost all other YT teachers. You, at least for me, transfer knowledge and methods very efficiently. You have that teacher's instinct and passion.
@@Bonkikavo that means a lot to hear, thank you! I'm always working on the teaching aspect, it feels good to hear that it's coming through!
I really enjoy your content man!!

Excellent hack for establishing the feel for 16ths! Will definitely take this to the shed!
@@vinsharrelson2246 thanks man love to hear it will help you work the pocket!
This simple idea seems like such a game changer for me. I get caught playing the most repetitive crap all the time. I literally cannot break out of playing more than two bar loops with my basslines. I can’t wait to try this idea out. Thank you so much much.
Glad to hear it's got your wheels turning, I hope it helps you dig into some new stuff!
1. I love the way your solo left space between phrases. The pressure to shred in that situation is hard to resist. 2. I’m glad your got that big honking mic off camera. Your frame looks much better.
Hahaha appreciate it man ...yeah I was using what I had before...it was enough to get by but this is so much better!
And yes...space...so underrated...sometimes it's the space that makes you sound confident and clever and turns people's heads
Please continue your channel, i am french, playing for 7 years in a funk rock band with other intermediate players and i learn a lot from you !
I've got no plan to stop! Thanks for the kind words and the support!
I'd love to see how you exicute a cover of boogie on reggae woman
I've actually never played that tune!
Sorry, it's not a bass comment) But the kids (and we too) are so lucky to have a teacher so passionate about what he does and sharing knowledge with others. For me you sure are an example in this. Please keep going, this is what saves the world) no joke!

I thought it sounded pretty decent....would love to hear it without a pick to give a little warmer sound
You are a great teacher, no doubt. But there's more to it : not only counting helps but there's a better way - to sing while you play - aka breathing. No brainer there, that's what Victor Wooten teaches, and it works. Trust me , I have experience of playing bass and drums and other instruments for 20 plus years. Still thank you, great to see people like you sharing knowledge with others. Keep up!
Will i get used to it and play any bassline and sing without practicing this specifically? Or do i have to do this for every song 🥲
I really hate Slapping. With that said I can still appreciate the technique. It takes skill so kudos. Its interesting to watch. It sounds decent alone but really dont care for it in a mix. If that makes sense. Just because I don't play like that nor want to but can sort of doesnt mean I can't appreciate it the talent of those that do.
@@daveweed2765 I hear ya. I certainly like slapping, but honestly don't do it much. BUT I figured I'd put it out there for the people who want to up their game on it!
Do you happen to give private lessons?
@@larrydicus7822 I do. I'm booked up right now most likely until June, but am happy to get you on the wait-list for when my availability opens up full time. Shoot me an email at kyle.o.barboza@gmail.com. there's also a video on my channel describing my lessons, how much I charge, etc.

5:00 This video is very much applicable to me as a guitarist, and you saying that exemplifies why! Really excited to apply some of these ideas on guitar. =) Thanks for sharing!
@@StephenChapman hell ya man glad to dole out a couple good nuggets!
Awesome video man. I've reading for a bit now but I always get confused about what position to play a piece in by just looking at it. (hope that makes sense) Any advice?
I'm also struggling with this. I usually try and look ahead to see where i need to be in the next few measures and then see if there are any alternative fingerings that can get me there more comfortably than they way I'm doing it. this usually works for me but sometimes i just have to practice the weird fingering cuz it's the best i can come up with. Also remember that you can sometimes use open strings.
Yeah agreed...when I'm reading something new I start by playing it in the "easiest position to read" (which is 1st position, where the "default notes" are for me), then I analyze it a bit and move toward the "easiest position to play"
Awesome lesson! But what is that beatiful green bass behind you? Would love to see it
It's my warmoth "frankenbass!" Great bass, I'll have to bring it out for a vid at some point when it's not in E-flat tuning
Hi Kyle, what’s the name of that book?
It´s the Real Book, don´t know the exact volume, you can find Dexterity in the Fifth Edition
@ with the bass clef?Thank you!

@@Fabio_Enne yes ! it´s called therealbook fifthedition f bassclef
@ ah! Thanks!!!
I always practice slow first, but rarely use a metronome, I often get confused, I got get used to it though
Your BB is wonderful :)))) (great lesson thanks)
@@warburgaby thank you! Love this bass!
@@KYLETEACHESBASSYT also I love my bb734a 😅 one day hope to find and play some of the olds bb's
I am slowly learning to practice. I will confidently Apply these principles now.
@@paulhopkins686 excellent! It's a skill like any other!
Great lesson, thanks a lot. One of the best in my humble opinion. If you now how to learn, you have a platform for getting new tunes under your skin. By the way, what is the title of the book? 😊
@@JR_MusicMan haha I appreciate you! Yeah, well said, that's the whole crux of it. I'm actually working on a few course modules right now...progress is slow and steady as I'm working a lot of hours so my "free time" is limited. But it's coming along!
@@JR_MusicMan oh, and the book! That's called The Real Book. It's a collection of jazz standards (melody and chord changes). Great book to own!
@@KYLETEACHESBASSYT Wow, I thought they were chords only, with no music notation. That's good to know, many thanks!
Do you have any advice on how to play or practice by ear, especially for people that haven't done it before or have just been reading sheet/tabs for their entire lives? I want to improve my ear but it's really frustrating to not be able to find the correct notes or not knowing if what you are playing is actually correct. Playing by ear also forces you to memorize everything up to that point (assuming you are correct) which is a skill in and of itself lol. How would you recommend practicing these skillsets?
@@Cybrtronlazr Great question. All of this stuff applies to learning by ear, BUT you have to have the part that you're learning "in your ear" before you start getting it down on the bass. Start with a small chunk of it (a phrase, a few measures, or even a few notes) and memorize that phrase well enough to sing it out loud. It doesn't have to be pretty, but make sure you can attempt to sing it. That "proves" that you've internalized what it sounds like. Then, see if you can slow it down a bit and start by matching the pitches. When you learn a new tune, really dig into it and be able to sing the bass line AND the vocal melody (again, it don't gotta be pretty!). I couldn't read notation for the first few years of playing and I wouldn't trade that for anything. Developing your ear is such a good thing!
@@KYLETEACHESBASSYT yeah I sometimes wish I wasn't classically trained (I did orchestra/band in middle and high school) before I started playing electric so I could read pretty well but didn't develop a great ear :(
Man, this content is new, refreshing, and you groove hard. Keep up the good work amigo.
@@glissandostride thanks brother!
Where did you get that metronome?
@@Solidegg a music shop...had it almost 20 years haha!
Thank you Kyle. Sound wisdom. You inspired me to dig out a piece l gave up on a year ago. Mostly because the reading frustrated me, but if that’s what I need to practice, right? I love your teaching / communication style.
@@michaelanthony9068 really appreciate you Michael. Yeah get back on that tune. Sometimes that time away is beneficial. Hope you can get over hump with it. Let me know if anything's hanging you up, happy to give some insight if I can
Very good lesson...
I sort of stumbled into this type of practice routine, especially when learning new songs. I typically break things up phrase by phrase rather than measure by measure. It feels more natural to me to ‘finish the sentence’. I definitely do stop and clap out a rhythm sometimes.
@@JT96708 yeah that's great, phrases are great to work with...gets you thinking about the song in context too.
That's exactly what I've been doing, it's what feels natural. Sometimes I spend more time on the slow part to get used, normally on parts I do something I'm not used to. Using this method I learned Californication in the first two weeks with a bass. If not, would've been impossible. But I think my method doesn't involve adding more notes, it's just chunks of the song. Just to note: I never play full song when learning, just each chunk separately. But, I have a drummer at home so, I can practice till I memorize how many times I need to repeat each part 😂 or get the clue of when the riff changes (guitars or drums help). Each one has its own method, yours is similar to mine. Just, I don't do full songs alone. Since I play on a band, I use them to learn the timings.
@@AmandaCopeteShin excellent...very cool to hear this has worked for you. With my students it's like night and day when they start practicing effectively
