  • In this video, I'll give you some great ideas on how you can use more of the fretboard for your fills and solos. I think you're going to enjoy this one.

    Picked the bass up 7 months ago and I’m struggling, but came across your videos a week ago and it’s helping me understand. I’ve watch 3 videos and have learned a lot. Even tho your “slow playing” is fast for me lol, somehow I’m able to keep up. You have an excellent way of getting the point across, so beginners like myself can learn and apply. Keep sharing it’s definitely appreciate.

    @RockerProf Před 9 dny

    Wow! Being an avid student of music theory,I just now realized why what you're saying is true. It is because the G minor scale is the relative minor of the B flat major scale, which means that the pentatonics for both scales contain the exact same notes, just in a different order. The light bulb went off; just wondered why I hadn't figured this out myself before. This fact would have been worth mentioning in the video. Thanks for the great videos. By the way, your voice is magic

    Rich, this is pure gold thank you so much. I was aware of major/relative minor, and I have drilled the various shapes for each. But this is the first time anyone has explained that if you use the shapes in a very specific order, then you can fly up and down the fretboard like it's nothing. Add in the blue note for each scale and you can say a lot. I can think of at least one bass player for a popular funk band that has made an entire career out of doing exactly this.
