Pentatonic Bass Runs Over The ENTIRE Fretboard (Lesson & Tab)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лют 2025
- This week we're going to take a look at Pentatonic Scales and a simple approach for playing up and down the fretboard rather than across the fretboard.
We'll be looking at the Major Pentatonic scale but this method can be applied equally to Minor Pentatonic scales and pretty much any other scale on any root note. We'll be breaking the scale down into small subsets/cells and restricting our movement across strings.

I realize it's quite randomly asking but do anyone know a good site to stream newly released movies online?
@@leonelcayden3934 leave the internet please
i like this one Mark! thanks
Thank you Mark. This is what I needed, to open up my bass playing, and let my bass do the talking. Are riffs and bass fills the same thing?Thank you.
@@antonsims3176 Riffs are repeating figures. Also called Ostinato’s. The term bass line is an umbrella term for any line played on a bass. However, I tend to differentiate between riffs and bass lines that outline a chord progression. With less repetition.
dude mark doesnt age. i been watching his vids from 7 years ago. i think hes a robot
scale cyborg
Out of all the lessons about improvisation I've learned on youtube, this is the most important one. It gives direction and unlocks so much. Since the same principle can be used to practice all the scales and arpeggios and learn them properly on the fretboard.
Mark, wow, you just solved an issue I've been struggling with for a long while now, how to construct good cascades up or down the freatboard. I feel quite stupid now, to be honest. The method is so simple, but the problem was it wasn't obvious. It needed to be pointed out and explained and you did a great job of that, as usual. Thanks tons, Mark. You're awesome.
Love it! Mark is such a great teacher! He explains everything in such a clear and easy to understand manner that you usually end up with something useful
Mark is the unique person in the world who can do all these fingers running in the fast and accurate chords speed
What is always so nice about the content you talk about, is the fact that everything becomes so simple and practical for us to understant and also to try by ourselves while practicing. Thanks again for this awesome video!
Wow, So much here! My goal is to be able to bump up from scrambling at UA-cam’s 50% speed to 75% to normal. Sure am grateful for the ability to start slow. I so appreciate you calling out the string and fret AND the name of the notes found there. There seem to be secrets revealed here - patterns shown that my fingers are learning with and without my brain.
This is a great lesson that I will practice regularly to help build up my knowledge of the fretboard and my ability to move up and down the fretboard a lot more smoothly.
This was an excellent lesson, but I was distracted by how good that bass sounds!!
Once again, another lesson I don't think I will get much out of because it may be over my head. But Mark explains it so well and gives tabs and drum tracks to really take the time and go through it. A master teacher. Thanks Mark!
I have been playing Bass for 20+ years. This has by far been one of the most insightful lessons i've ever been taught. THANK YOU!
Man I love your videos and your teaching methods so much. Your island metaphor perfectly describes the intimidation I felt when I first picked up the bass and continue to experience but your lessons have helped me gain confidence in myself. Thank you so much!
Thank you Mark. I'd been struggling to apply the pentatonic scale for a very long time. This tutorial is very useful and it's opened my eyes to how most of the bassist who inspired me go about those beautiful things they do on the board. I hope to even master this. Thank you so much.
Thanks Mark, I think this is one of the most useful lessons I've looked at in a long time. I've been transposing it all over the neck.. it's really making a difference!
Awesome ! I just got to talk to Mark directly on live chat.Pretty sure we are best friends now lol ...Seriously though Thank You for all your bass lessons Mark !
Another great lesson Mark. Thank you so much. Over several months I've spent lots of time with your lessons and videos because my bass playing is improving
dramatically (or so I like to think!) with your instruction. You're making it easier. Now if I can just get those fingers moving faster!! Ha!
BTW, got new ideas from your R.A.I.S.E. video . Thanks again.
Thanks Mark for all your advices and this particular tutorial, it will help me to not stay at the same confortable position.
Again a very useful strategy. Thank you Mark for this great lesson.
Just another fantastic tutorial , thank you.
Fantastic lesson! Really enjoyed that! More tapping lessons, please!
a relief: I had a hard time thinking up and down with all strings and was starting thinking 2 strings... but felt guilty about it. After this I feel good.
Thank you . This lesson answered my issues and opened up alternative ways on how to go up & down the fretboard. Hope to see similar lesson for modes.
Great lesson, and that Sims Lionheart bass sounds great.
this is amazing we need more practise like this! keep up the good work
You are simply the best. Thank you.
so helpfull.tnx Talking Bass
Very interesting lesson sir.. I will practise this pentatonic scale..
That lesson was awesome! Thanks!
Love it! Is it just me or is Mark putting in an extra ghost note on the up beat just before the 16th note run on the first two cells?
Very important lesson great, thanks sir.
Great lesson - Mark is the best! Congrats again on Daddyhood!
Cheers. Three kids now. So practice time is even more precious a commodity now.
Thanks for all you do m8. Keep up the outstanding work!
Alway good stuffs from here. Thanks mark
Great lesson! Cheers, Fred Jansohn
Great lesson...great feakin tone!
Love this lesson Mark. Very very useful 👌
Thank you! Helps me a lot!
Hi Mark, Chris from Staffordshire. Ibanez SR655 Natural Ash Body,.
Thanks Mark!
Great lesson, will be helpful for those struggling to unlock the fretboard.
These pentatonics on two strings will or should maybe, make it easier to learn.
Do you play your SR and MM very often these days Mark? Cheers
Just had the MM strung with flats for a few things but don’t use it a lot at the moment because it was the cause of all my back issues! The SR is at home as my practice bass for transcription and soloing.
@@talkingbasslessonsI have the MM too and my shoulders in particular felt worse than my back.
I still have an Ibanez SR 500 1994 I bought new all those years ago. It's a great bass, but totally different from the MM in so many ways.
Love both of them. Cheers
Mark is Badass!
Mark, thanks for the great lesson. Would you post a lesson using the minor pentatonic, and also, what would these runs look like over an actual 3 or 4 chord progression? Thanks in advance.
Thanks dude
Hello sir, can you recommend a good clip on tuner for bass? Thank you.
what is the name of your bass guitar is sounds so cool
best ever
Already love it
Great work mark 💪🏻..what’s that Bass your using btw?? Sounds killer 😍
Veo tus vídeos desde República Dominicana y me sirven mucho para mejorar como bajista.
Lovely blue bass, what kind is it please??
Sweet.
That sound is so sweet. Id Like to make an uncommon request I've been learning bass for over 7 years now but I've not been able to get a personal bass guitar. Just wondering if you got any to gift out its gonna go a long way
Save up some money bro
How do you record your bass?

What kind of bass is that?
amen
ROCK N ROLL !!!
like when you use the letters for the scale
What bass is that?
Am I missing something!? E major pentatonic is E F# G# B. Why is there an A in it?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎉❤
What's up with your pickups Mark? I've wondered for a while
Sims Super Quads
Smash that bell ...
He’s playing so fast I can’t even see his fingers moving!!
16th at 98 bpm, it's not really fast and that is not the target ! The important thing is that you don't need to play fast to groove ;-)
Oh well, I’m glad six other people got the joke..
I miss your intro tune
Some basses are longer than others... mine is long too
Hi sir How are you......? I m a big fun of u
Dommage que tu ne sois pas francophone :(
Great lesson, awful intonation. That D at fret 17 f...d my ear! Please, please, grab the screwdriver, Mark! !)
Lost me so fast - are you progressing up the register to each note of the pentatonic? Lost me. :(
Yes. But only playing four more cells each time (on two strings). Helps with restricting your movements. A lot of good practice involves restriction.
