5 Pentatonic Scale Shapes | Solo & Improv 

best online teacher, nice and ease to get his lesson, I like how you teach.

After hours of searching I finally found a video that makes finger positioning and the certain frets easy to understand.

This tutorial totally changed my bass playing and took me to a new level. Thank you Daric!

Phenomenal lesson for someone learning the bass! And I love the groove at 5:45! Just the punch and the slap you’re getting out of that J bass without slapping it is definitely something I’d be interested in learning how to do. I’m sure part of it is the attack with your fingers but I’m guessing another part of it is the strings, and Pick Up choices? And I’m just noticing now you have five knobs on that bass… I’ve never seen more than three or four.

best brakedown video; exactly what I was looking for.

God bless you, D! Thank you for helping me learn 🎉❤🙏🏽

Very short but very clear

i'm not an expert at music theory, but these are basically modes for the major pentatonic scale, right? I could be wrong tho. Anyways, thanks for the lesson, much appreciated as always. Grabbed my bass as soon as is saw the notification.

I am very glad you put these into context when explaining the scale .It is allowing my ear to learn and recognise upon hearing.Which is my goal atm.(preparing for my venture into soloing and slap) Your videos are the best and you are a true master of bass. Not to mention,your teaching method is not only inspirational to a beginner like myself, but super condusive for someone who can only play by ear at this point, but trying to aquire a good working knowledge for forming and applying lines that are not in root note.

Love the tone!

Thank you very much, Morpheus. I could see the matrix within the first minute, you're super clear. Really, thank you very much.

Thank You Sir , I love when you put the fret on the screen

Thanks for remembering 🙏🏽

You are amazing brother you have helped me for sure

Dog became a bass critic LOL Cheers!! Keep up the bass lessons!

You are great brother seriously like your lessons

Real good instruction on playing the C maj scale up the fretboard etc, didn't need to know about the scratch on your nose too much information, but again good tutorial.

You could try filing the nails. Sometimes if I forget to file the same thing happens only scratch myself lol this makes me think btw....having longer nails on the fingers has an interesting crisp effect especially with harmonics I've noticed.

The dog is starting, don't let it finish

thanks Im going to try this

This is an amazing video. Really teaches me alot by actually showing the dots on the fretboard. Thank u so much bro! Your a awesome teacher

@3:22 I could tell you love it! Gawd Dang lmao! Disrespectful, I felt that in my stomach smh! You have to break that down! Amazing work and professionalism.

nice teacher, I like him

Very helpful video!

So you start the scales on the A string, so when you use the fat E string, are you playing the octave of the notes on the fat E string? For example, on the C scale, are you playing the G note on the fat E string with the octave in the C scale?

Gosto muito dos seus vídeos!! Vou maratonar!!!

Damn that bass looks versatile for tone adjustments

Great way to see it. Also a good approach would be intervals and that would cover all patterns.

Great Lesson! Thanks!

Blessed video

Awesome!!

Man you are so great. And i'm doing all i can to get more views to your videos.

Great

Mr. D: What is your set up for recording these amazing videos? Are we hearing you amp mic'd up or are you playing through an audio interface or DAW? Love your approach.

Also modes

Great tutorial, thank you.

I have a question, isn't there a way to connect all of these together to play up and down the bass?

Hello, love your stuff. Can you please show your fretting a little easier to see/

Your fav is oriental pentatonic. Like in Sukiaki, the song. lol. western.

Do you have tutorials how do u get your hands moving tt fast

Hello. This the petatonic shapes for major? How about for minor?

can you tell me what brand of strings are on the bass on this video ?

but i also agree, the more scales you know, the more freedom you gain

Hi Daric = what chord is playing in the beginning of your jam?

Your dog looks just like mine!

❤️

what type of bass is that "e"

And all this applies to let's say to a D major pentatonic notes etc...?

Hey , the dog does what makes him/her a dog it´s in their instincts. We on the other hand have no clue of our place in the world. I live with cats, whenever they do cats need to do even if it bothers me I remember I chose to share my place with them. Thank you for the lesson though, cool as always.

wdym? Now i am really confused, because, if you know pentatonic on a G, you just do the same on A, and same on B, and same on C, and same on D, and same on E... The patters are the exact same on each note, so just transfer what you learned on C to G or go F or whatever. Same goes for dorian and blues scales :) You only need to learn it on for instance C, and know where you all C's on the neck is, its better tho to learn first G and then Gminor penta because they are slighty different in how you ride :)

weres the 5 string ?

Thank you for vision of music theory. I know that is helpful too many including myself. But at the end you race through your run. Slow it down so that we can get a better understanding of what you are trying show us. You are losing a lot of us by racing through the runs. Other than that, love what you are doing.
