Bass Lesson #10 Modes And Applying Them

[@rbertgraham5980]

I’ve seen all kind of videos and don’t really have a clue what they was talking about but this guy I understand he explains everything well.

[@ericmartin6730]

I'm a 53 year old drummer who has plunked around on a bass I have had sitting around for 30 years. I live in a small town, we got more drummers than bassists, so I am upping my bass game for more opportunities to play music. I have been working through your online lessons this month, thank you so much for posting these. My music theory has increased exponentially with your clear and simple explanations.

[@stevekonbass]

That's great to hear! Best of luck!

[@paramotorfun9649]

Best explanation and practical demonstration on the net. Thank you

[@stevekonbass]

Great to hear that.

[@MJG727]

Thanks for this Steve. I don't know how many videos on YT I've watched explaining modes but never understood how to apply them. Now, I do! Simply brilliant!

[@stevekonbass]

Glad the video helped brother! Thanks for the comment.

[@dennisdragotto3411]

Appreciate the simplicity of the lesson. love the overlays and demonstrations you do. This made the modes a lot less overwhelming and actually made them make sense. Thank you.

[@stevekonbass]

Glad to hear you liked the lesson. Happy New Year!

[@colonelboogie9127]

Wow! The demystification of modes....superb. Amazing you can play all those different combinations through a G chord. Love it.

[@stevekonbass]

Kinda fun, right?

[@newtonmiller8706]

[@stevekonbass]

Glad to hear that.

[@adedayoanjorin9260]

I love your teachings, best i ever received. I just got a bass guitar but i play lead .Tnx.

[@stevekonbass]

Being you play lead you'll do fine on bass. Have fun!

[@shaark92]

wow ... thanks Steve. I thought this was gonna be about the pickups/tone ... voicing on the amp. this is brand new to me. will replay this several times. "this isn't the SATs" LOL. thanks. the last couple have given that first impression!

[@Сергей-ц7с1ы]

The use of frets, the use is limited by imagination. This should be given a lot of time. Good lesson, thank you Steve

[@jvzo8505]

Thank you for making these videos

THANKS FROM JAMAICA...PERFECT LESSON BAD MAN...

[@stevekonbass]

Thanks brother and hello Jamaica! (I love me some Bob Marley & The Wailers music.)

[@SwashBuccaneer]

Oh wow this was a really interesting way to demonstrate the modes. Like you said it took the mystery out of it. I've been playing the bass about 1 year now and your methods and demonstration in this series really cleared cleared the concepts. The whiteboard is a great way to visualize everytning.

[@stevekonbass]

Good to hear. Keep rockin'!

[@jason3000tt]

Awesome lesson......simple to the point

[@cesarigloria8502]

Thanks a lot. Very helpful videos you have. I am learning a lot…

[@ayodejimodupe551]

You’re a really good teacher, I understood the fretboards from scratch from you. The video you did on 12 bar blues was awesome too it really helped me keep going

[@stevekonbass]

That's great to hear Ayodeji. Keep rockin'!

[@Matt_bassguitar]

Your lessons are the best I’ve watched. You really help make sense of learning bass. Thanks!

Hey Butch here, super interesting! Like you said it's a good way to build bass lines. This is going to be very useful! Thanks!

It's a good way to get to know the fretboard Butch.

Nice steve!

[@stevekonbass]

Thanks Badrul.

[@tetheredintime5638]

Opened my eyes. You taught us G major so if we play in a different key we adjust the notes In the scale accordingly? The finger patterns would be the same? Thanks for the lesson.

[@stevekonbass]

Yep. So lets say you were playing C major. The Ionian would be CDEFGABC. Then the Dorian would be DEFGABC... and so on. Whatever mode you play in C major would have the C major notes in it.

[@AFloodofSolaceJohnWhigham]

Great lesson. Happy Easter to you and your beautiful family.!!!

[@jason3000tt]

Surely this was just legit.......learned a lot

[@stevekonbass]

Glad to hear it.

[@charmainefriend340]

Wow, so helpful. Thank you.

[@stevekonbass]

Glad to help.

[@MrPdudas]

After watching this video I was suprised to see you play all the mode patterns over the Gmaj7 and Am7 backing track. There must be some patterns that go better with other chords than others. Are there any rules other that just playing any pattern you want ?

[@stevekonbass]

If it sounds good/interesting, I say play it. Modal is used a lot in improvisational jazz music and as an example, playing in the Mixolydian mode over that G maj7 just gives it a different flair rather than just staying in Ionian. Experiment a little with it when I switch to guitar in the video. If you're interested in jazz Ed Friedland has a few good books out.

[@benoitdelarochefordiere8653]

Thank ! 👍🏼

[@stevekonbass]

You're welcome!

[@starmoyoproductioncashtime7937]

Your lessons are always amazing thanks 😊😊 can you do a 5 string bass guitar 🎸

[@stevekonbass]

I got rid of my 5 string many moons ago but maybe a company will send me one. I've been sent basses before to review so ya never know.

[@basementstudio7574]

Awesome lesson, probably the best one at actually showing how to put this to use. Question though: When you're playing in G major but using the Dorian mode, is it called G Dorian or A Dorian. I've seen it called both depending which video I'm watching. Thanks

[@stevekonbass]

Good question. It would be A Dorian.

[@markscherer4348]

Hi about showing us the different finger patterns on a blank fret board, I would like to then take a screenshot of each one then practice each.

[@MAA-po7xn]

Hi Steve, where is the link to '2 minute jam practice'?
