Thanks for this lesson. What is it with good bass teachers from the UK? Most of the best bass teachers on youtube are from the UK.

Glad you like it and to know you learn something useful! Cheers!

i do like very much your playing of scales over two octaves (three on my 5 string jazz bass) through the circle of 4ths. An approach i have never considered before. A very thorough workout and highly beneficial for fretboard knowledge and fretting hand dexterity

[@ebassguitar]

Glad you like it! Thanks for pointing that out! Great share!

Just learning this. What time and effort is needed to be so proficient playing scales? Nice Marcus Miller bass.

It takes time but you can try the Bass Lab PLUS to speed up the process. Let me know if you're interested so that I can hook you up.

Thanks man!

Personally I utilise the circle of 4ths when practising anything in the major key or jazz compositions and i reserve the circle of 5ths for minor key harmonisation and composition. Not a hard and fast rule set in stone naturally as we all approach musical theory in our own way but i found it has become habitual, easier and more to my natural musical orientation to practise (and teach) using the circle of 4ths although i never disregard the 5ths (which leaves me engaging the brain and neural pathways a lot more than i would like. Another great tutorial

Mix with a LEADING TONE = Circle of 5th All the circle of 5th dose is help piano player play the major scale in 12 different pitch. The C Major scale has the same intervals as the Ab Major scale...it's just in a different pitch. You're on a FRET BOARD..not a piano. You can use the fretboard like a SLIDE RULER to play in different PITCH, EASY. You need to do on a fretboard is learn INTERVALS Here are the other scale. aeo with a leading tone = Harmonic min dor with a leading tone = melodic min ( or Ion b3) phrygian with a leading tone = harmonic min b2 ( aka N6) loc with a leading tone = Mix #2 Mix b6 with a leading tone= Harmonic MAJOR ( or Ion b6) dor b2 ,maj7 = melodic min b2 ( aka N6) dor #4 , Maj7= melodic min #4 Lydian b3 or IV of Harmonic MAJOR dor b5, Maj7 = Melodic min b5 aeo b2 maj7 = Harmonic min b2 aeo b5 maj7 = Harmonic min b5 or III of Hungarian MAJOR aeo #4 Maj7 = Harmonic min #4 or aka Hungarian Minor example...From C Major/A min if you apply the (N6) A harmonic min b2 or Melodic min b2 That would be the Bb note ( you could stack it as Bb maj7, Bb7, Bb dim. Bb augmented Bb lydian ( maj7) to F MAJOR/D min Bb ion ( maj7) to Bb MAJOR /G min Bb7 ( dominant) to Eb MAJOR/ Cmin Notice it's cycling down to the 4th or can play Bb dim/aug into B min/D MAJOR or Bb augmented to G harmonic /melodic min ..ect ( G minor) You could apply the N6 after the C MAJOR tonic Db dim into D min or you could simply play D dorian with a Leading tone A min B dim C# dim into D min ( melodic min) or A min Bb dim C# dim into D min ( D harmonic min) or Bb7 , C7 into F Melodic min....F min/Ab MAJOR To circle up to the 5th You could apply A melodic min #4 or A Harmonic #4 D# into E B7 into E min It dosnt mater..you can play B7 into E MAJOR or E min. Once in E minor/G MAJOR. E phrygian Maj7 ( Harmonic min b2) the F maj7 chord....CYCLE down to the 4th or if you use the A melodic min b2 That would be F# aeo b4, b5 You could play F#7 into B min...You circle UP...UP...UP once in B min, to cycle back down = B Harmonic min b2... whalla C Maj7 /A min or C7 into F MAJOR or C Maj7 ( lydian) to G MAJOR/Emin or C dim into C# min/E MAJOR So lets step back to the 5th ( V) chord degree. G7 into C MAJOR or C min E7 into A MAJOR or A min It's harder to do it on a Piano to shift to multiple keys, Back and forth. It's EASY on the FRETBOARD. Use it to your advantage.
