Once more, such a brilliant way of explaining so clearly, what many teachers turn into a sermon. Thanks again Steve.

Same to you!

[@Rogijimbex]

Nice presentation - thanks

[@zeke7142003]

I noticed that if you want to go to the relative minor you move down 3 frets and play the minor scale. If I'm in C major I move down 3 frets and I play the A minor scale. A major.......down 3 to the F# minor

[@stevekonbass]

Correct.

[@mikeanders7542]

Great video,I've allways wondered myself about the notes that are shared on the strings fretboard I am 60 almost been picking bass since I was 11.you have reinstated my drive to be better! Thanks for the videos.i grew up in a Baptist church I played bass for the congregation we are a southern gospel singing church!!

[@stevekonbass]

That's a great place to learn. I bet you had a lot of great voices there. It's good that you have reinstated drive too. If you get yourself a band you'll have fun, with the right players of course.

[@tetheredintime5638]

[@almaiz6177]

Great question and answer, I’ve had trouble freestyling cause I’m not always sure where to go on the fretboard that would sound good. I learned in order to be comfortable to master at least a few scales. This helps! Thank you

[@stevekonbass]

You're welcome Al. If you like to improv knowing your modes will help. Easy stuff.

awesome, brother!

[@stevekonbass]

Thanks!

[@BibleStudywithDoreen]

This is very good, thanks.

[@stevekonbass]

Thank you too!

[@ozzyoz5210]

How much do you charge for lessons?

[@stevekonbass]

Thanks! Not Brooklyn, but you're hearing the NY Long Island accent. That's where I grew up. Good ears. Living in the South now for the time being.

[@stevekonbass]

$20 for 45 minutes. Before lessons though, suck up as much of the basics as you can through the videos... where the notes are, basic hand coordination, etc.

[@ozzyoz5210]

@@stevekonbass ok. Thank you. I live in Southwest Virginia. I have to work on finger strength as well.

[@stevekonbass]

I can help ya with that. Just keep practicing that C major scale in the first lesson I did and use the fingering I used (start on 8th fret E string). Playing that scale gives you a nice stretch and will eventually get your fret hand comfortable. Once you're comfortable with that, play an A major scale and then a G major scale. Finger strength will come along. ua-cam.com/video/1J1EwJ5JpQE/v-deo.html
