You're Welcome!

[@anthonydonofrio3266]

Joe you’re the best!. Wish I could study in person with you. Blessings bro!

[@JoeHubbardBass]

Thanks Anthony! Maybe one day.

[@arthurmee]

I have that wish too Anthony. In the meantime I've bought the pdf.

[@whip3505]

Probably the best modal excersize in all aspects-technial and theory. Thank you.

[@MrDimwits]

Another great lesson, Joe. Thanks.

[@JoeHubbardBass]

Hey Guys- Ever get overwhelmed by trying to figure out how to practice modes? You're not alone- this lesson is a MUST WATCH! Enjoy- Joe

[@Asanbass]

Great video! The avoid notes are b2 and b6!

[@JoeHubbardBass]

Yes!

[@MzuMzu-nx1em]

Always helpful.

[@JoeHubbardBass]

Thanks!

Wow! fantastic Dorian workout. I’ve been working this Dorian workout for an hour now, and I’m flowing all over the neck. This has given me a better understanding and I now realize there are so much more possibilities for improvisation over G-7 chord. I will now use what I have learnt on other modes using the same principle. Thanks Joe, you’re Great!

[@JoeHubbardBass]

Fantastic Josh! Glad you saw the benefit of this lesson.

cool lesson Joe

[@musicbymikaelraymond]

Excellent as always even if I disagree about avoid notes, music is about a subjective relation with the notes being played at a specific time in a song.

[@JoeHubbardBass]

It's not subjective. Try this exercise: over a min7th chord play a b9 lasting a whole note in duration. You'll notice it destroys the sound of the chord. You can play the "avoid" notes, but you cannot resolve to them and expect it to maintain the integrity of the sound.

[@timothysedgwick3133]

Thanks, great lesson as always. The avoid notes on Aeolian and Phrygian became crystal clear to me while working the Minor Scale Passing Tones lesson in the Bassment.

[@JoeHubbardBass]

Great Tim!

[@bcboy123]

Thanks Joe! Some really usable stuff! It's going to provide another level of playing.

[@JoeHubbardBass]

Thanks!

Wow super my big chief

[@JoeHubbardBass]

Cheers Isaac!

[@brandonmalone1893]

Joe do you have any modal workout books? I'd buy it. This lesson is excellent

[@JoeHubbardBass]

It's in the works! Watch this space...

[@Sebassplayer1978]

Great content, as always Joe. Aeolian contains a b6, Phrygian has b2 and b6 😉. Am l right?

[@JoeHubbardBass]

Spot on!

[@BAZZMAN800]

Hi Joe...Great information as always...what is the" box" on top of your amp?

[@JoeHubbardBass]

Thanks! It's an EBS Dyna Verb (Studio Edition). Awesome piece of kit!

[@BAZZMAN800]

@@JoeHubbardBass EBS products are wonderful.

[@LJSMusic54]

could have done this on a 4 string...I find that low B very distracting..

[@JoeHubbardBass]

Getting the PDF will help- all the tab is included and written out in every key.

[@bobwright663]

Great workout Joe I agree about the avoid notes in any musical situation...can't remember were I read it but whoever said you are only a semitone away from the right note is talking bullshit, to me music should be pleasing to the ear...a bum note is a bum note and should be avoided at all costs.

[@Euklair]

that's Victor Wooten kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3W5hYl7g6ycmc0 Highly recommend watching this. His point is not that all notes are equals, his point is train yourself to hit the wrong note, then train yourself to resolve from it. All about tension/resolution when you are going out and back in again.

[@JoeHubbardBass]

Thanks Bob! The "key" to this is the concept of resolution. If you resolve your lines by holding the note longer than a quarter note or followed by a rest lasting longer than a quarter note, then you need to resolve to a "good" note. Bum notes can be played, but they must resolve to a note that does not compromise the integrity of the chord sound- this is critical!

[@bcboy123]

@@JoeHubbardBass I would assume you mean passing tones, chromatic, etc. which can be used but must resolve to a chord tone?

[@JoeHubbardBass]

@@bcboy123 I'm talking about notes in the scale that can't be resolved to over Min7th chords i.e. b2 & b6 from Phrygian. The Dorian Mode has no avoid notes.
