    I'm saving this lesson, once again Dan comes through with some of the most practical lessons you will find on youtube! The way Dan runs through how he builds and changes his bass lines to make them more complex is really useful info for a beginner/intermediate player like myself. Fast paced lesson, he gets right into it, no wasted time. Thanks Dan!

    Dan remember when you did a video regarding all the modes and then the chords of every major scale. That one video has opened up the possibilities of bass for me.
    I’ve now unconsciously memorised the order of the modes. Whichever scale you choose like for example you picked A minor I know what’s mode is before and after. It’s not me thinking “oh this is next” my fingers know the patterns as well as my ears. I can move up and down the fretboard seamlessly now without thinking.
    I can’t thank you enough. I’ve not watched your videos for a bit as I was truly just working of exploring the concept you taught in that video. Now everything makes complete sense. I can follow with my bass at hand:D
    I think I deserve a trip to the bass gallery and treat myself to a proper bass now lol.
    You are a amazing teacher. You are able to make complex subjects digestible. For people who haven’t gone to music school or classes it can seem extremely overwhelming. You make it easy.

    As a beginner, with a background in piano, this is such a great example of a teacher imparting basic skills in an easily digestible way. What makes it so good is the way Dan sets basic triads into context whilst playing them with such great melody and rhythm. You could spend a month just playing around with this lesson and end up so much improved. I just bought his 100 funk groves book. Thanks Dan.

    Hi Dan after watching your videos from when you first started I feel like watching you now I have my best mate in the room. Interesting that you said the bass player you listen to most is the one you probably will end up sounding like. Well my favourite bass player is Andy Fraser from Free but I find him very hard to mimic. Another great lesson and thank you for your continued input into my life

    • @OnlineBassCourses
      @OnlineBassCourses  Рік тому +1

      What a lovely comment. Thanks so much, John - it means a lot. Andy Fraser is a great and underrated player! I’m sure I’ll do a lesson on his playing one day.

    Thanks Dan! Nice lesson and bass line melodies. The MM StingRay is one of my favorites too. Good timing on mentioning Bernard Edwards - I was just listening to the Chic song "My Forbidden Lover" from 1979 and Bernard Edwards does the most bass fills than I have heard in his other bass lines. He also gets a bit of that growl in at the end of some of the bars. Have you discussed Syncopation in a video?

    • @OnlineBassCourses
      @OnlineBassCourses  Рік тому +1

    Hi Dan! Really great lesson! I had an epiphany with the modes in the minor key tonight! I was wondering why you said Dm would be dorian when it was the fourth note of the scale, thinking it should be lydian. Then I figured it out, minor not major. It is so cool when that happens. But I still can't wait until it just comes naturally without thinking about it! Thank you Dan!
