I really appreciate the theory of how pentatonics can be used in relation to certain chords and modes. Great lesson.

You make the pentatonic scales sound great! One day I realized that the five note minor pentatonic is suitable for Dorian, Phrygian, and Aeolian mode. The scale differences occur at the 2 and 6. The major pentatonic works for Ionian, Lydian, and Mixolydian since the the scales have differences at the 4 and 7 degrees. Keep on rockin', Dan!

I bought the funk bass 40-groove lessons last week and can't stop playing them over and over. I've been noodling around on bass (I've been a musician all my adult life), but somehow everything clicks with me in your vidoes and workbooks. Super helpful. It is great to find free lessons with such depth as this that I can come back to for practice in addition. I appreciate your manner--you are a natural teacher even on video, and that is weirdly rare. Super grateful for your commitment to anonymous folks studying the bass!

Hi Dan Lesson was great and adding in mode info. was actually helpful. It did take me several views to sort it all out though 🙂

@OnlineBassCourses Год назад

Yeah, it will do. Glad you got something from it!

@angelspake81 2 года назад

I studied the purpose of modes over and over. When I started studying the major and minor pentatonic scales on all streams and then you showed me how you can add a Dorian flavor in or a fridge and flavor in the pentatonic. Learning Pentatonix on all four strings and showing how to add Dorian and phrygian in has helped me to understand how to use a mode and I just wanted to thank you for the free lessons on the Pentatonix

@angelspake81 2 года назад

I believe to understand modes you must have an extensive understanding of Pentatonix. Outside of chord tones Pentatonix is a bass players most important thing I think

@OnlineBassCourses 2 года назад

You’re welcome. There are so many ways you can use this stuff. I’ll continue to try and show a few of them. It’s mostly about listening to music and figuring it out by ear.

Hi Dan, as always great lessons well explained. Great job! Incidentally you also have great tone, wish I could get a great sounds like you on my SR5’s, may I ask what brand and gauge of strings are you using?

Thanks very much John. It’s probably the nice gear I go through... the strings are Elites (usually Players but sometimes Stadium which are stainless steel).

@Sbsoeuhdv 3 года назад

Hi Dan, I really appreciate your teaching but I have a question about the modes. How do I know what mode is a chord progression using (for example Am F G C )

@mtmeinardiful 3 года назад

Love your lessons Dan ! Always a lot of tips, ideas , information in a very motivating way, great!

@KlevonOfJesup 3 года назад

I think that knowing the scale degree for each mode would be helpful. If your chord progression is in Am, then you would know that the relative minor of C major is Am, so they share the same notes in the scale and they share the chords that are formed from these notes. In a minor key, the i is minor, ii is dim., III is major, iv is minor, v is minor, VI is major, VII is major. Am would use Aeolian. ABCDEF, so F is major 6 and is Lydian. G is major VII and is Mixolydian. C is the third of the Am scale and is major 7 Mixolydian. It would be helpful to learn the I, IV, V in C major (C F G) and Am (Am, Dm, Em). Once you learn how this pattern looks on the fretboard, it becomes much easier to find the key and then figure out the modes. Also learn how to modify the major scale of a root note to learn scale formulas. If you want to play D Dorian, for instance, you would use the notes of the D major scale and modify them: 1 - 2 - b3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - b7

@OnlineBassCourses 3 года назад

Thanks Martin!

@OnlineBassCourses 3 года назад

I refer you to the excellent answer below! It’s really about finding the key you’re in. Am F G C are all chords belonging to C major/A Natural Minor. Learn how to harmonise a scale (I have a lesson on that) and you’ll know how to recognise those progressions. Then you can play using notes from the key (and modes if that’s what you want to do).

@mrbungle7586 3 года назад

Hi Dan, hope all is well with you. Think you might have lost some during this lesson, as you mentioned. Along with the shapes etc, learning the notes of the fretboard is equally as important, as you know. I think when a player at a certain level, looks at shapes and where you can play the same shape in another position, even though it's pointed out that it's the same notes. They still don't realise or remember that the reason we can play that shape down here, is because, down here is an F or an A etc. Hard to explain and some get it to a degree and others are mystified. Stop flirting that Ibanez please lol. Cheers

@OnlineBassCourses 3 года назад

I hope that most people could follow most of it... Learning the notes is absolutely key, you're right. It's one of the first things a bass player should learn. Then, you start to recognise patterns which make bass playing so much easier!

@emersonribber7368 2 года назад

@@OnlineBassCourses , thanks for your attention.

@Sbsoeuhdv 3 года назад

Also how do I actually use modes for my bass playing?

@KlevonOfJesup 3 года назад

If you have a progression C G Am F in the key of C, that would be a I V vi IV. Use the Ionian on the I, Mixolydian on the V, Aeolian on the vi, and Lydian on the IV. Example: the IV chord is Fmaj. Since the key is Cmaj, the F scale would be the same notes and the Cmaj scale - F G A B C D E F. Now think about the F maj scale - F G A Bb C D E F. The note that is different is the fourth. Instead of playing a Bb as in the key of F maj, you are playing a B note that is one half step above Bb. You have sharpened the fourth. If you know scale formulas, you know that 1 2 3 #4 5 6 7 is Lydian mode. Learn the patterns for all the modes instead of thinking about the C major scale patterns alone.

@jaypie0864 Год назад

Noob here… So just to be clear, you just move the same pentatonic shape around so that the first note is the same as the current chord in the song.

@OnlineBassCourses Год назад

It depends what the chord is in the song. Minor shapes will work over minor chords, Major shapes over major chords. But all shapes can be easily moved to different notes to play songs in different keys. This video might help: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Nvx2RBBPJEk.html
