Beginner bassist that had no idea how scales worked until I watched this. I’ve really wanted to go down the funk bass route (specifically Joe dart style) and I’ve heard that most note choices come from the pentatonic scale. This was a brilliant lesson thank you, I’ve got something to practise tomorrow
Good video man. I'm trying to branch out more into the scales realm. I know my Natural major and minor. lol Never really delved into the Jazz, or pentatonic.
Hi Mark, cool lesson! I know that this isn't the right video to talk/ask about it, but i hope you'll reply me! I've just found a Vantage bass 5 strings, the price is 200€ but the seller said that he can go lower, it's used but not that much. My question is, are vantage's basses good? One of my friend has a semi-acustic guitar by them and it sounds great, but i can't find any informations about their basses, help me please
On either guitar or bass, why don't these guys tell you why they start a scale on the A string sometimes? Maybe it doesn't matter but I always wonder if I am missing out on something.
I think its because some notes can't be reached on the lower strings above, for example; on the E string the C is higher up the neck ( on the 8th fret) so you won't able to start the C minor pentatonic on the E string. The rest of the notes are all conveniently right next to each other on the higher strings so I guess thats why!
@@arjunsrivatsav8246 I think C major is what people learn first on any instruments I have same question is the pentatonic scale shape movable in different Key like major scale does?
@@talkingbasslessons no I mean I know the pentatonic scale doesn't use a 6th but when the C minor scale was played the 6th note was flatted, I thought in a minor only the 3rd and 7th were flat and in a C scale, aside 3rd and 7th, all the other notes would be natural, I meant to say the 6th in a C minor scale
Wonderful ego free lessons. Your the first person that was able to break through all my preconceived notions on how this all works. Many thanks mark!
This guy is awesome, his lessons are very very helpful.
You're certainly the best bass teacher around here ;-) thanks for all what you're doing . Sebastien, Paris

SLAPPPPPPPPP!!!!!
Why is the 6th flat if it's a C scale?
Unsure what you mean. The C Minor Pentatonic doesn't have a 6th.

@@ivanbecerril4227 No. Natural Minor scales have a flattened and 3rd, 6th and 7th. Where did you learn that it had a Major 6th?
@@talkingbasslessons oh natural minors have a flattened 6th? Ok that answers my question actually
Lovely guy but I bet if he has one too many largers he kicks off
