    Good point about rhythm - it can make simple lines seem more sophisticated e.g. a run down the scale starting on the "and" of four instead of starting it on the one.

    Loved this lesson and the lightbulb moment it created re the song, ‘Time After Time’. I never previously saw the theory behind the hook section of the bass line, but once you explained it, it became instantly clear (A minor arpeggio running up and down) - Thank you. Got me to thinking that there must be loads of songs like this where the bass line runs up and/or down an arpeggio or scale. One that came to mind was, ‘December 1963 (Oh, What A Night)’ which if I recall correctly runs straight up a mixolydian scale. Is there scope for more lessons on this theme, or even maybe a book?

    • @OnlineBassCourses
      @OnlineBassCourses  Рік тому

      Thanks! Yes there is scope for that. In fact, many of my lessons are like that. E.g. this one: ua-cam.com/video/hGLlOd0QcYo/v-deo.html

    Are you telling me that an arpeggio is nothing but a TETRAtonic scale?😂 Just joking…Dan sei il numero uno!! Love from Italy 🇮🇹

  • @Steazo046
    @Steazo046 Рік тому +1

    Hello Dan, please help me to understand this concept. I watched one of your videos where you said that the relative scale is the 2nd note in the minor pentatonic scale. The video featured an F minor pentatonic scale and fretting the second note which would be the A flat, I could find the relative scale to F minor which would be A flat major? Does this work that way because of the use of the minor pentatonic scale? I got confused when the relative scale in this video was not the second note, it was the third note in the natural minor scale. So does it work like this: if I am using the minor pentatonic scale it's the second note but if I am using the natural minor scale it's the 3rd or is it just simply whatever note that the minor 3rd falls on that will be the relative note/scale?

    • @OnlineBassCourses
      @OnlineBassCourses  Рік тому

      Everything you say is correct! Whether it’s the third note of the natural minor or second of the pentatonic…you end up on the SAME note. So it depends which method sticks with you better.

    Hey Dan! I have a question. I have interest in your bass course. I've been playing bass for like 5 years and but have limited knowledge. I know MODES, PENTATONIC, TRIADS MAJOR MINOR but the thing is I learned these theories like 6 months ago so I am not very fluent with them. I play church/Gospel music and would like to know which course would be best fit for me? Thank you so much! God bless you! Love your free lessons too!!!
