How to Solo over a Funk Groove | Where to start ?? Bass Player Tips

[@Gerry926]

This is the best lesson I've seen in a long time. The key is, you are breaking down the actual thought process behind the choices. It's not just a "do what I do" type of lesson. You're explaining why choices are made, thus giving a watcher the freedom we are all looking for. Thanks for this one, especially.

[@markmichaud944]

This shows just how important it is to know what KEY YOU’RE IN AND WHAT SCALE WORKS FOR THAT KEY!!!! Vital absolutely vital!! Thanks Daric for this!!

[@aaronrivers64]

I've been playing for over 40 years and I never broke improvisation down like this. This was a very helpful video. Thanks

[@tonygranvik4695]

Been playing guitar for almost 20 years. Just now got my first bass, believe it or not. So much fun! Even though all my dexterity, finger stamina, muscle memory and all that jazz, I´m approaching my new instrument as if I´m a complete beginner. I wanna get things right the first time, properly! Browsed a lot of bass stuff, channels... this is the one that spoke to me most thus far! subscribed!

As a flamenco player I have more technicalities in common with a bassist than a metal 6-string player. Although I’m often in Phrygian. Very cool video. Loving the groove. Wonderful, thank you.

[@douglaswilliams1081]

Been waiting on something like this. Trying to figure it out on my own wasn't working, i was close but this did it. Can't wait to get home and grab the bass. (work!!) Appreciate you bruh.

[@brendanmelvin9938]

I just love these lessons, Daric is a top player, teacher & all round good guy

[@hariharan6689]

Magical Golden Hands👌👌👌

[@innovert99]

I'm a simple bassist. I see Daric upload, I hit like and watch

[@KimSooAcu]

I haven't listened to a good bass player in years! It is amazing what the mind can learn. Thank you!

[@raziwazaarrobita3835]

I love the theory here, but what I really admire are your dynamics. You have a tasty control over the slides, the hammer-ons, and the ghost notes, and a terribly amazing groove. I'm more of a melodic player and when I'm improvising, I struggle a little with those dynamics. What would you recommend for making them something natural in my improv?

[@mickd9220]

Thank you!!🙏 You are the best bass player resource I’ve seen on the net. So practical and your ideas can immediately be put into practice. Thank you

[@carveldavidson5210]

Thank you for not holding back information people that can play as good as you always give you a little bit or nothing at all thank you so very much for helping to unlock my brain creative side. Good teaching style easy for anybody to grasp

[@paupauband]

I love your solo face~

[@timothyfullerton3920]

Much respect sir! You’re an excellent teacher! Love the content it is very helpful!

[@24_anderson]

Great stuff Daric! Maybe do a video on how to blend with a band you dont have chemistry with? Thats an underrated aspect that will get us more gigs

[@MarvinSTLewis]

Just unlocked a new character 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾!!

[@maurydavid9732]

Hi daric un petit coucou depuis la France j'aime ton approche forcer les joueurs à comprendre le pourquoi du comment super intéressant la théorie au service du jeu en impro merci pour toutes ces bonnes ondes. Super vitesse d'exécution 👍❤️

[@badger4361]

Mate, I've been trying to get my head around the modes for a while now, i'm not sure what just clicked, but the light bulb is starting to fizz a bit. Great job explaining this.

[@Buthel11]

Yes bro. Ur incredible great teachings!

[@LOCY9250]

I do love your video, it helps a lot. Thx from Taiwan.

[@maurice7274]

That’s a light bulb moment for me thanks for sharing

[@Tristanrgreene11]

Nice to see your channel bud, nice to see some more rochesterians beating the algorithms within the innards of the yt monster! Cheers

[@poohead8022]

This guy is a dope player

[@ErixSamson]

Are you just saying that C7 is the V of F Maj, and any mode of F Maj will work?

[@badboyhotstar]

Yes. C Mixolydian is the V scale/mode of F Major/Ionian and the C7 Chord is formed from the C Mixolydian scale. That's where the Bb in the chord came from. you can run the Bb Lydian scale, the D Aeolian scale, the G Dorian scale, etc. any mode of F Major or in the context of this video, any mode of C Mixolydian since C is the root note here, not F.

[@benjaminrackleyii1671]

Wait wait wait. Just blew my mind. So you just basically said if I know I’m starting in mixolydian I just need to play up two scale degrees and run the locrian pattern from there? So help me figure out that I’m in C mixolydian? Is it literally matching the chord tones and doing the arithmetic?

[@noulavaldiny9399]

Yo very good

[@mr.m3276]

Question: so C9 automatically implies a flatted 7th?

[@OstirBass]

Anyone?

[@hisnibs1121]

Yes. The chord written & spoken as C9 is a C dominant 9, comprising the 1st, 3rd, 5th, flattened 7th, and the 9th (counting from the root note). If the 7th were to be natural (not flattened) the chord would be written as CMaj9, spoken as C major 9, and comprise the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th.

Anyone know what kind of bass he’s playing? Looks like it has a big “e” logo on the headstock.

[@ophirb25]

To be able to improvise, you must have music singing in your head, if there us nothing there, there is no improvisation. If you do have, then scales are not important, play whatever you have in your head.....

[@bicmacman55]

[@jamesmagana4303]

Bro all that sounds like it's a bunch of scales who cares about scales got to just stay in the pocket
