BEST MELODIC EXERCISE! | Bass Guitar Tips ~ Daric Bennett's Bass Lessons

Hey guys, in this lesson I'll be showing you a simple way to practice your modes with using arpeggios. Being able to navigate across the fretboard is one the most popular questions I receive. Practicing this exercise on bass guitar is a great melodic way to musically shed and learn this concept. Have fun!

[@TheCliff670]

Great lesson, thanks Daric..

[@daricsbasslessons]

+Cliff Watson Thanks for watching Cliff!!!

[@element-dh9dx]

Beethoven is a good excercize, but this one is good !. Beethoven can be played, same way as this. I always say this, R&B is rhythm based, Classical is not, it's melodic. The guys who play classical only, they need a friend who plays drums, the rhythm section is gone. I will never remember what a Ionian arpeggio is, unless you let me hear it and you did. I figured it out, Mixolodian thank you. That sounds good to practice.

[@unijabass]

Thanks a lot, bass boss

[@mr.t382]

Deric, this is a great vid lesson. I’ve been playing bass all my life - this is so helpful I can’t believe it! Modes Makes more sense now than ever. I got hung up in a “block” kinda position mentality and just noticed....lol Grrrr8 job - please keep on - I’m subscribed ;) Blessings to ya! - M

[@Maximus091768]

[@EricDBrown-mh7mi]

Thanks a million for the lesson

[@ronnieribeirogarvett5289]

Great tips

[@kingmvp7355]

Another super informative lesson Bro. I'm really making progress with the Theory. I have some questions concerning the modes as they relate to playing scales. But once I get past that the only other bump in the road will be learning the notes on the finger board in there entirety. Wanna say thank you Brotha Deric u r the Man.💯

[@daricsbasslessons]

+AllThings Good That's freaking awesome man! It'll be no time before you get it! Check out the lesson on "fretboard basics" to help you out with learning the notes on the neck!

[@hectorrascon2671]

Thank you so much 👍

[@judithdastine1434]

good job brother

[@johnp.3728]

Great Video i learned a lot. But i have a question do i need to practice other 7 modes in a different major scale?

[@danielherd5951]

Yo Daric, awesome lessons! What gauge Dunlops are you using. The highs on that 5 String you play in the video clip within the Slap video are so bright it almost sounds like the C string on a 6! Your technique is out of this world...so many styles, tricks and melodic phrasing. I played from Old school funk from 68 - 88 then got into Concert Tour and Personal management, event production etc. Your lessons are giving me a jump start that has reignited my love for bass. My main Bass is a custom made Modulus Quantum 5 String Proto Type with a 24 fret Graphite Composite Neck (the neck is bit thinner than a D shape and plays very fast for a 5er. Looking forward to hours of quality bass face time with your phenomenal teaching series!

[@TBL2002]

love you're style. thanks for these videos. Do you have one on "solo phrasing".

[@daricsbasslessons]

+TBL2002 sure, check out recently uploaded video "251 progression" also there's extends lessons available at the online academy @ www.daricbennett.com

[@joeltami8281]

[@1Ratrod]

Mr Galloway, I wish you long lasting health, we all need more men with the courage and the will to do your part to challenge the predators and psychopaths in power that had taken over the system, most people fo not want to talk politics not knowing they have been conditioned to answer that way exactly when atrocities are commited around the world driven by greed and evil.

[@vovobani7754]

killed it

[@thesundaycarpenter2514]

[@TheMrdons90]

How do you connect the modes together so seamlessly, and play them like you do at 5:45?

[@daniel_anyolemuyeme6952]

[@johnfloyd9343]

How do I join the classes?

[@randyhoopaugh3690]

I'm a busker and my setup at a stop sign in front of Dairy Queen allows me to free style, as my audience is constantly moving on . I'm going to incorporate what I'm learning here in my little show, and see if this old dog learning new tricks and licks can give em their moneys worth.

[@cliftonmurphy5476]

how do you do a bass solo in a minor key?

[@Bahimo3154]

[@prayzmanone]

Dude u r about the only person I can stomach on KZbin. Everyone wants either be funny or give this long disortation of WHAT THEY THINK. Shut up and get to teaching please. And thank ya lol

[@Igaveyoumyfakename]

Speaking of teaching, it's not disortation. It's dissertation.
