At 8:46 you are identifying the notes in your scale exercise and they are not correct. The scale degrees should be 1, flatted 7th, 4 and 5. Wanted to clarify so beginners are not confused as to location of scale degrees in the arpeggio. Otherwise nice lesson.

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.

@carmeeno8 күн бұрын
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

Bonus tip is sooo important too - guitarists and keyboardists seem to get all of the glory on the songwriting front because that's part of their learning process moreso than bass players. I hope more bassists take your advice to heart. Great stuff!

Don't rely on any quick way. Don't learn anything "*FAST*" because that's not how things really work... Sure you can getting some basic chops down quickly, but you'll become disappointed so incredibly fast once you've made those first baby steps.... And thát is when you want to persevere. It's akin to human interest / interaction: Any musical instrument that appeals to you, is absolutely worth the time and effort you take to get to know it. But hey, if you're lacking all sorts of motivation to learn something musical, you can always do Rap 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@carmeeno18 күн бұрын
@@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?
@ccastillo3654018 күн бұрын
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

Thank you very much, that means alot to hear and I appreciate you subscribing to the channel! My setup is - Fender Jazz Bass (Made in Mexico) with 3 year old flat wound strings on there - direct in to my Apollo x6 - into a UAD Hitsville EQ plugin and a VLA3 Compressor plugin from Black Rooster audio - then I have all of that mastered with one of my fav plugins called Grand Finale for mastering. It’s all very simple just DI - Eq - Compressor - Master Compressor but that’s all I really need for a clean decent bass tone. I try to eq out anything below 50hz because on alot of different speakers viewers might use, that frequency will be un hearable anyway and I just try to make the high end of the bass shine through a little bit for clarity. Hope this helps!
