Love you man. Such awesome stuff. The tone you get from that Jazz is so good and with such beautiful phrasing. Great content as ever!

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Mark my dude! Thanks so much man. Really appreciate the support! Be safe

[@scottwheldon9992]

That joke at the beginning made me laugh. Subscribed.

[@zh4ngx]

Great breakdown of the concept and nice phrasing and tone

[@matiasdonoso8897]

It has the Evan Marien kind of vibe, super tasty in my opinion.

[@syarifalfani9503]

Yes

[@japas]

You are absolutely ON FIRE Anthony. Hands down you are my favorite bassist, the infinite ideas man.

[@laurentnaminzo4686]

Thank you very much for sharing this with us...For me, that's are "essentials" to know..🙏

[@samblazich]

[@JohnMuskiet]

Great lesson Anthony...This makes me practice a lot of the possibilities that are there in just one chord. you have expained that very well.Thanks . Grettings from the Netherlands...

[@xMTLKx]

you're amazing man thank you so much

[@pedrorojasdecea5521]

Wow! What an inspirational video. Incredible, man, with only one chord and adding those ideas you can play a lot and don´t sound boring. Thank you very much, Anthony. Peace!

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Pedro Rojas de Cea You’re welcome!

[@sport2481]

Nicely done, very helpful....thanks.

[@richardrosemusic]

another great lesson and clear explanation and examples. I've never tried or thought of combining pent scales to get hybrid scales - thank you!

[@high-vvinzsanity8360]

Thanks for all knowledge and melodic sense you share. Bless up king

[@Flying_turnip187]

This is a sweet lesson! I am digging it. Thank you!

[@leandrobeneza]

Thanks man!

[@ashokmahesh2812]

thanks bro that's super scale

[@tommyeadg]

You sir are amazing. Once again exactly what i needed.

[@CambiodeRumbo]

this channel is pure gold!

[@3dVizualMan]

Great lesson Anthony. Oddly enough I have been experimenting with different pentatonics in a key, but I couldn't seem to figure out why a particular one sounded good over others. This lesson is truly helpful. Thank you for making it.

[@Rickkyb64]

Out Standing Thanks so much

[@jayros67]

Love your work..

[@ajavrik482]

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Rdx Ritwik Thank you and you too!

[@building436]

There is no better way to make the topic understandable!

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Happy to know that!

[@luispedro993]

muy bueno

[@johnathan649]

Dude you make a Squier sound so good

[@Steadyworking864]

Sounds very smooth!! Thanks this helps me so much sir!!

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Steadman Fleetwood Williams thanks man and happy to be of help!

[@Steadyworking864]

My only request is that lick from 4:43 in the video can you explain that on the next lesson maybe??

[@deafprof]

Great stuff Anthony! Peace!

[@andgomez40]

I just saw this video, and played it through my AMERICAN AUDIO 900, and sounds amazing

[@baltazarmenvielle4146]

Hey Anthony! Can you explain the "Federico Malaman lick"? It'll be very useful!

[@patrickdaia6099]

Awesome man ,thanks for the lesson! appreciate the work you do, bless up!

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

My pleasure! Be safe

[@mechoob9853]

[@פלאפלבפיתה]

Tnx for such an amazing lesson 🥊Which strings are you using?

[@CHAISERWAVE]

I love your bass tone man

[@brady7389]

this is incredible .. man you are such a killer player. i was wondering if you could share any of the patterns you use? i am so stuck in my ways and this stuff is tasty.

[@maddoxtroy683]

This was a great lesson

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Thank you!

[@joaomatheus6222]

That Eb was sick

[@eddiekohen2558]

Very Melodic!

[@thephunk1]

Great lesson!

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Thank you!

[@craigs19721972]

B minor pentatonic with a G# gives a #11 #5 flavour.

[@abrahamlastimosa1298]

you are such an inspiration sir!

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

You're too kind!

[@abrahamlastimosa1298]

@@AnthonyMuthurajah i've been practicing one by one all your content, hopefully i will reach the state of being "free" when in comes to soloing specially in tunes with alot of chord changes. =D

[@javibasseden]

Just amazing! Love your playing style! Is that an Squier Classic Vibe 60? Best regards from Spain!

[@ErixSamson]

Great ideas, thanks. My only concern is to remember all these nice substitutions in playing context?

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

The concern would be shedding them enough to allow your ears to take over in a playing context. All the remembering/recollecting is done in the shed and then FORGOTTEN outside of it. That's how I did it and I would encourage anyone to go about implementing anything in their playing.

[@ozzie-sk9dh]

Great Lesson. What are you using to play the underlying chord?

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

ozzie321 Thanks! Just a pad on Logic Pro recorded simultaneously with my bass.

[@danielworkman742]

👍

[@prorigami2444]

1:15 I felt that

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Haha!

[@markarolee]

Killing la bro, and nice lighting!

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

markarolee thanks bro!

[@haroldsedoc6848]

Am very glad with you mister Anthony your sound is open a new world for me but, you are going so fast for me. Is it possible to slow it down?

[@soul-qf2zq]

do you have any lessons on soloing for beginners?

[@deddybassdeddytetanel2680]

Love this lesson 💙💙💙💙💙

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Glad you do!

[@immanuel5128]

Thought for future lessons that feature drones as backing: record 3-4 minutes of the drone and put a link in the description to download it. That'd help. Keep it up!

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Will keep that in mind! Cheers and thank you

[@leobassii]

Thank for the great soloing tips... you really sound great. I'm trying to learn a solo on "the chicken" do these pentatonic scales from the 3rd, 7th, and 6th work on dominant chords as well?

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Leo Childs My pleasure! For dominants, it would work from the 6th, not necessarily with the other options.

[@leobassii]

@@AnthonyMuthurajah ok thank you for for responding. You make it seem so easy. I've been a little frustrated with my playing lately. Your videos are very helpful. Thank you for sharing and I hope and pray you are doing well Brother. 👍

[@ignaciomeyerp]

beautiful intro!

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Ignacio Meyer thank you!

[@chrislj2005]

Love this.And I'm not even a bass player.

[@ErixSamson]

Is there a dictionary of all substitutions?

[@KingPorter]

Can you share what your using for the sound of your bass i.e compression or delay, or any effects assisting to help get that tone ??

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

I will do that in a separate video!

[@chrisbassartist4344]

Curious what keyboard you’re using to sustain the chords? Is it a standalone or played on daw? I have an old Yamaha stand alone I like to practice with but need an upgrade..btw I love your lessons thank you!!

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Chris Bassartist You’re welcome! I’m using a midi controller on Logic Pro. Midi controllers are super cheap tbh if you’re looking to upgrade. Be safe!

[@chrisbassartist4344]

Anthony Muthurajah I also have a midi keyboard and I use cubase what vst are you using and do you need a sustain pedal to have chords constantly play? Been trying with what I have and couldn’t figure it out..thank you for taking time to answer my questions

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Chris Bassartist I use the samplers on logic for my keys. Yes, you need a sustain pedal to sustain the chords else they die quick. Alternatively you can extend them by extending the midi notes. Hope that helps. Cheers

[@ThomasMYoutube]

Bass sounds like a fender; have you upgraded the pickups? thanks for posting.

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Thomas James Only upgrade is the bridge. Everything else is stock. You’re welcome!

[@Genson50]

What if play C#minor pentatonic over C maj7 ?

[@FabioMachado]

Anthony, can I apply this concept to minor7 chords? For instance using the 3rd OR 7th of A minor. Thanks

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Fabio Machado You actually can, but it takes you into a different space all together. Use it sparingly haha

[@4801628026]

What is the name of this backing chord!!

[@Jedmanuel91]

Anthony, I didn’t understand the last part. So on an Am7 we can play an Em or Bm pentatonic scale?

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Jedmanuel91 That is exactly it!

[@asdanf8053]

Oi tem como você fazer um pouco lento depois rápido

[@saint-hyltoncoombs5106]

When bassist solo: Me: oh yeah Everyone else: stay in the back (talking time)

[@wolfd91]

Do you have a way to sound "out" when soloing?

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Wolf d'Anvers Too many ways haha

[@hermanquarles1945]

I'm not real computer literate. So I'm not sure how your subscription works. Please let me know what I need to do to get the full advantage of my paying subscription. Thank you so much! And you must know I love your playing!

[@maddoxtroy683]

Ok Spotify... I use a playlist called worship pads... to practice my scales to.
