If I was to tell you that there's ONE scale you can use to play over major chords... minor chords... half diminished chords... get bluesy sounds from... and WAY more... I'm guessing you'd think it's impossible, right?... just ONE scale?!
The good news is... it's absolutely possible!
There is ONE simple scale (that you most likely already know to a certain extent!) that you can use over multiple chords... the gag is, you probably just don't know to do it yet.
This is "The Godfather" of scales!
In this lesson you're going to learn:
- What the NUMBER 1, most important scale is that you should be focusing on right now
- How to apply that one scale over multiple chords - without even changing the pattern
- How to learn this scale over the ENTIRE fingerboard with just 3 patterns
- And WAY more...
As always, see you in the shed...
Scott :)
PS. If you enjoy this lesson... make sure to check out my "Harmonic Layering Scales and Arpeggios" course within the SBL membership. It's over 10 hours long and is the most comprehensive and step by step course specifically for bass players that has ever been created...

When I was 12 my grandfather gave me a bass. He was a jazz guitarist and lived until he was 89 and had played since he was 5. The first thing he taught me was the major scale. He said that's the most important scale I'll ever learn. He was definitely right.

@donbox710 Год назад

I’m sooooo looking forward to the tutorial on the fallopian flat 9 scale. I seem to recall it from my very earliest memories, but that was nearly a lifetime ago.

@jonzyquiltbag9317 4 года назад

I agree 👍 Watching his videos has made me a far better player in just a few months. I'm fairly accomplished on the bass but I'm not nearly at this level of playing yet and watching his techniques for getting around the fretboard at the speed he does has made me a better player from the moment I started watching him.

@geoffrichards3131 4 года назад

Been playing bass for about 3 years and I have all of the music theory down, but I could never memorize all of the notes on the fretboard past the first 5 frets. This and the 4+2 technique are so, so helpful!

Watched this a year ago, one of the most impactful videos I've ever watched. But watching it today, I have finally understood to link the positions together to walk around the fingerboard. Brilliant.

@ryangebo7220 4 года назад

Dang. The part you did with the chords and playing the modes over just connected it all together for me. I'm not sure why no one has done this before! Thanks mate.

@melbournecrosbie 3 года назад

Exactly. And to hear Scott play the notes over the chord, while explaining it, well that's brilliant. Of course Miles Davis' 'Kind of Blue' is also essential listening. Put the two together and bingo! Now I get modes.

@saxafish 6 лет назад

Great video. Two critiques as a music educator: 1. Back in college I personally hated learning different modes because no prof ever gave me context as to why. Now all my lesson plans start with asking WHY, then coming up with a concrete example of how my students would be able to apply on the fly--an objective. 2. I'm a visual learner. The better you become at a musical instrument, the more likely someone is to tune you out when you're basically just jamming out. It helps to incorporate visual cues or sheet music during the explaination. Of course this would take more video editing than you may be willing to do. Either way, great video and very important lesson for theory and building muscle memory.

@TheBassTroll 6 лет назад

I think one of the most important songs for beginning musicians to learn is "Do, Re, Mi" from "The Sound of Music" (even if all they do is learn to sing it) because of all the scales, modes, arpeggios, and harmonies used with the major scale. I always recommend learning the major scale in C, which will help them out when later explaining accidentals.

@VinnieLeeStudio 6 лет назад

This is amazing! I used it on guitars, works great, just shift one fret higher once you reach the B string.

@bayareablues2255 6 лет назад

Thanks, Scott! I found this trick out on my own a while ago (where were you then! :-) ). Whatever scale I choose to play, I reference it to the Major scale and think in terms of intervals - so for Mixolydian I flat the 7th, for Dorian I flat the 3rd and 7th, for the natural minor I flat the 3rd, 6th and 7th, and for the Pentatonic I just leave out what's appropriate. This really helped me find where the scale intervals are on the fretboard. And it works well in the other direction. I had a teacher that told me to think of guitar solos in rock and blues in terms of the Pentatonic, but add other notes depending on the chord. Knowing the Major scale intervals really helped me figure that out.

@kylehunter5217 6 лет назад

I’m new to bass (less than 24 hours into owning an Ibanez) so far this has been a pretty informative channel. One question though, and sorry if this has been answered before, why do you wear gloves when you play? Is there benefits to it or is it just like a personal thing?

@Tibbon 6 лет назад

Unrelated to this video; but have you ever tried a Fender Bass VI? I've got two of them now, and as guitarist who has never liked baritone or 7-string guitars it gives me a really interesting range. Doesn't replace a good 4-string for me, but especially in music that might have super low synth bass instead of a more traditional one it has an interesting tonality. Yet, I never see anything about these instruments out there!

@stoobydoo958 5 лет назад

@Mylesja5 4 года назад

hi, i'm newly a part of the SBL Academy (woohoo!!) where can I find the tabs for all three of these patterns and the different fingering positions you used. i've been working on my Cmaj scale, as that is what you've recommended in opening lesson. I'm new to this but and loving it! i've played drums for a while and now getting into the bass has been very eye opening and fun all while being challenging! thanks! talk soon! oh and I guess my user name in the academy is boobiemyles if you want to drop me any info there!

@sbdreamin 6 лет назад

Scott, a question.. i'm one of your students at the Academy. When you are continuing that scale up and down the fretboard, are you consciously aware the names of the notes under each finger, or are you simply relying on relative positions and patterns? I'm working on scales and arpeggios.. and find myself being a bit lazy, and relying on the patterns, but i'm not always sure what note I am actually playing. Does that just come with time, practice and familiarity?? ALso you are doodling up and down that neck, obviously putting these patterns together, but I can't figure out what you are doing exactly... :( can you slow down and tell us how to determine where the patterns go together?

@Dagomonteiro 6 лет назад

Great question. Is it about the shapes or the notes?

@hbn782 6 лет назад

He explained that on a previous video.. he focuses on not playing the wrong notes.. some riffs are too fast, and it's almost impossible to think of notes all the time

@FrancoisDelacroix 4 года назад

I'll make a point here: in the heat of the moment, you might not be thinking A D E G, etc. You may be using patters, shapes, cool things you've experimented, your whole toolkit. But if I ask you to show me an A, or a Db, or a whatever on the fretboard, you better know where it is. You can't not. :) Takes a week to learn if you do 15 mins a day. :)

@5150powder 4 года назад

do you really think scott doesnt know what notes hes playing? really...??

@isabella-zx2dc 4 года назад

from what he describes at around 3:40, it sounds like he really relies on his visual memory of patterns. I think what is more important than note names is their harmonic importance. That is, thinking of your perfect 5ths, perfect 4ths, the color a third brings, the tension a 7th brings, that kind of stuff. So long as you know where to start in a given key and plug those patterns in, the rest is how important the voices of each note are.
