Yeah that style is really cool and effective - maybe I’ll do a video on that technique as well, thanks for stopping by!

Thanks so much!! I appreciate you watching and subbing 🙏🏼

@@carmeeno You're welcome. Please keep your Value-added CZcams Content coming.🎯💯🎯

Thanks for watching! Flats yes - they’re about 3 years old and super dead - going DI into my Apollo X6 with a couple simple plugins and that’s it really!

@@carmeeno Thought so… Great sound, man! 👍👏 And a rather nice ‘to-the-point’ lesson. Subbed. 👍

@@ColonelJedburgh Thank you very much! and thanks for the sub - more on the way.

Thanks Bob! I appreciate you stopping by and watching 🙏🏼

Thank you for watching and thanks for the feedback! Trying to keep everything simple and helpful - appreciate ya 🙏🏼

Thanks for watching! Maybe I’ll talk about it one day haha - it’s a pretty basic Mexican Jazz - but man has it served me well

Good catch, my mistake! Appreciate you commenting - thank you for watching.

Hey thanks so much for the comment that means alot really - I used to play sax in elementary school as well - similar situation for me the theory just never really stuck. With consistent work, bass can become this really cool foundation for your understanding of theory - I’ve found it’s a nice instrument to learn theory on! Happy you are getting something out of the videos, more on the way!

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it!! More on the way soon

Wassup Joey - thanks for stopping by 🙏🏼

Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy you’re enjoying it, I’m trying my best

How do I know when to use the minor p or the major​@@carmeeno

I enjoy your channel

Thanks so much for watching and for your comment! I am trying to keep the lessons relatively concise and not try and jam in too much, happy to see you noticed 🙏🏼

Thanks so much for stopping by and listening!

No worries good luck keep going

I really appreciate your comment, thanks so much for stopping by - happy to have a sub in Scotland that is awesome!!

Thanks Joey I really appreciate your comments and happy you enjoyed the video!! The pdf idea is a really good one, I will definitely take that into consideration and as things advance I’ll work on that - I appreciate you

Thanks so much for stopping by and subscribing - I really appreciate it

Thanks for stopping by!! I appreciate it - I’ve been making videos in a lot of different lanes for about 7 years now but just about a year into bass vids

@@carmeeno will us bass players Got to stick together so I subbed

@@ticsbassplace thank you sir! I subbed to yours as well - keep making stuff

Thanks for watching! String mutiny is a great topic to dive into - lots of different ways to go about it

Thanks for stopping by, I will take that into consideration 🙏🏼

Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video! These are all from Splice so there is a small subscription fee but also there are a ton of breaks and beats just like this and many more samples to play to - also sometimes just searching beat style and bpm on youtube will yield me good results for playin along as well

@@carmeeno Awesome ! Thanks Carmeeno 👊🏽

Thanks for watching - noted, I appreciate the feedback

Yeah that will work! To me bass is bass regardless of which instrument is playing the line - some instruments of course have their own particular strengths and the bass lines may change due to that but piano bass lines are definitely transferable to bass guitar

Thanks so much! Love it - anything in particular with playing to metronome? Lmk

@@carmeeno something basic. Using the metronome to improve timing and groove. TY for looking at my suggestion.

Love the idea - lookout for the topic sometime in the future - thanks again 🙏🏼

That’s excellent to hear! Thanks for stopping by the channel - How is your progress going so far??

@@carmeeno My only struggle is spreading my fingers far enough to use my pinky. So I just don't use it. I am only playing on the first four frets right now and practicing scales. I learned a few Rolling Stones songs and some Who. But I am no Geddy Lee or Les Claypool yet.

I too struggle with strength in my pinky - working on playing four frets at a time and utilizing your four fretting fingers properly is a great thing to practice every day. It can help build strength in not only the finger that is currently fretting the note but the other 3 as well. I am thinking of doing a video on it because it is something I still deal with

@@carmeeno It would be great to see a video. Thanks!

I couldn't agree more - and what a good quote. It has to be practical, real music for your brain to believe it I think!

Thank you very much that means a lot! I am just trying to keep things simple and explain in a normal way - take the intimidation and complexity out of some of this stuff.

Thanks for stopping by John Bon!

Thank you very much, that means a lot. I am just trying to do my best and deliver simple information that can help new players - I am really happy it is working for you! Thanks for letting me know

Ya know that’s a good topic for a video - something I’m still working on myself, thanks for watching

Thanks so much for the comment! Happy you’re getting something out of these - yeah bassists are so important to the harmonic structure of the song, don’t ever let them forget it! Haha

I appreciate your sentiment here and thank you for watching - my goal with this video is more so to get a new player playing effectively quickly - but I do agree with your comment

Thanks for watching! I appreciate you - minor pentatonic should be coming in next couple of weeks 🙏🏼

Thank you so much for stopping by! It’s never to late to start ripping on bass - so happy you subscribed - more videos on the way

So happy to hear that man - what kinda bass did you get yourself?

⁠@@carmeenoI mean I learned more. Didn’t quite get a bass guitar yet unfortunately

@TheShift2 that’s ok brother you will get one soon

Thanks for watching - glad you got something from it! Can you specify your question a bit - I don't think I fully understand - lmk, I would love to help

@@carmeeno I guess my question is. What's the difference between scale degrees and intervals?

@@ccastillo36540 ahh gotcha - I look at an Interval as the distance or harmonic relationship between two notes, and a scale degree being a note in relation to the key or root note of that scale. So there is a way you could look at them as the same thing, not too different from one another but if Im looking at it like "Im playing an A Major Pentatonic Scale" I'm thinking of A as the Root note or 1 - B as the second scale degree or 2 - and C# as the third scale degree or 3 - as an interval that C# would be called a Major 3rd. Does that make sense?

I see what you're saying it makes sense I. Guess an interval is something you could do up-and-down the whole neck and a degree is something you could use within the scale. More or less

@@ccastillo36540 definitely- the scale degrees can be looked at pertaining to the specific scale - and even tho both can be moved around to fit any scale or key or chord etc. interval specifies a particular harmony where scale degree just means what degree away from the root note of the scale it is

Absolutely thanks for stopping by and watching

It’s up there for me too
