At this point i get that one of the reasons i like your videos is about watching a bassist being cool, teaching his ideas clearly enought and enjoying doing his thing. Nice channel
I really appreciate your training and understanding. You keep it plain, clear and motivational for me to practice RIGHT....(practice doesn't make perfect.. PERFECT practice makes PERFECT. thanks.
Love this exercise. Also very interesting moving back and forth between those two scales. Normally one stays clear of the Locrian, mostly because of it's dominant sound. I really found this helpful. Thanks
The biggest issue for me with this one is not the 3rd o2nd finger, but the first one. Moving it up and down clearly when playing fast. I tried switching with the 2nd but I watched you video once again and see you're doing it with the first. gotta practice...
Got a sub from me. Your teaching is entertaining, informative, and above all practical with "meat" in every lesson without having to dig for it. The subtle things that impressed me more than your teaching style; #1 LOVE that you are rocking a squire. Screams humble working man, and impresses me much more than you rocking a Fodera would have. #2 Your dog loves you and comes too see who you are talking to every vid. LOL
I love everything I get from you Bro. Am in a Different Continent and unable to Pay for anything online so i just subscribed and see what you release for free. And if i can ASK a quick question tho on this lesson about the right hand should we do it with alternate fingering or should we swipe(wreck) it when going back am kinda confused
Grande maestro, siga asi, porfa ponga subtitulos en español hay muchos amigos q lo ven aqui pero solo ven las posiciones pero no entendemos siga adelante
Don't get overwhelmed by scales. The names sound confusing, but the most common ones you'll hear thrown about like it matters, are just major scales that start and end on a different note of the scale (so you could play a C major scale, starting/ending on D - the 2nd interval - and you have Dorian). It seems like music teachers make most of their money by confusing students, and making you learn each one, one by one, until eventually you figure it out on your own and quit taking lessons. Here's a prime example: www.classicfm.com/discover-music/latest/guide-to-musical-modes/ - absolutely unnecessary and overwhelmingly confusing to explain "This scale is just like that scale except this one note". The actual reality is, notes don't matter on bass (or really any instrument). What you will develop with practice, is your ear. And if you don't get too caught up on theory, your brain will learn which shapes your fingers need to be in, to make the sounds you want to play. For bass, especially tho, dynamics and timing are utmost and I would focus way more time on technique than scales. Master your major scales first, then move on with your life. Alternatively, a shortcut is to learn the 5 basic pentatonic positions first.
+statikreg I agree, the names are confusing a bit, I mention that a lot in other tutorials and to all my students. To learn the concept, then the names. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video! EDIT: It may be worth noting that my original comment is why I quit going to traditional teachers, and watch videos like these instead! I realized after reading, it could be construed that I was being negative toward the video....
Daric you’re the BEST
Man I told the wife I’m thinking about registering for the academy! You have shown me soo much on UA-cam that I got support and keep growing!

Thanks a lot for this lesson. One question though: What is the advantage of 7/8 in this case?
+Olymoon Good you're welcome! just more challenging to think outside of the normal 4/4 time signature
Understood, thank you for your answer and all your lessons
