Learn Bass - What are Modes and why you should play them

[@joelzahner2033]

I'm one of those kids that learnt a million riffs before knowing anything about what I'm doing, thanks to this playlist I'm learning heaps of scales and theory behind the bass so thanks a lot ✊🏻

[@MusicCollegeTV]

We hear this a lot and it's not an uncommon way to learn. There's nothing quite like that feeling when it all falls into place! Thanks for the comment as I'm sure it will motivate and inspire others to keep practicing and playing!

@@MusicCollegeTV same story for me i learned with tabs for 8 years now im starting to wrap my head around theory and now im facepalming myself why i thought it was so complicated....great job man...sometimes if you cannot learn something its not becuause youre too stupid to understand...you just havent found the right teacher...and you my friend were that right teacher for me THANK YOU

[@joemiller8482]

Me too. . .

[@shugemery]

I got it. Clear explanation and demonstration. The work "mode" gets bandied about quite a bit in learning but often never fully explained. For this clarity I thank you.

[@yorch5d]

I felt like I was literally a "music player" instead of a musician before learning a lot from this videos. I always heard in the past a lot about Modes from local pretentious musicians and they never taught me about it. It was like old arcane and secret magic from a occult society, and no one else was supposed to know or learn, because they always explained only half the way or made it even more complicated in the theory or practice and they looked like gods. I really appreciate this learning videos! Kudos and thanks again for sharing your knowledge with patience. Greatest teacher ever!

[@litaninja]

Can't believe I'm here on #17 and totally get it. Great teacher. I just stay on a lesson until I digest it and then watch it one more time before moving on. I don't believe in frustration if I live my motto "No rules, No expectations" Try it!

[@MusicCollegeTV]

[@zut25]

Following this method now I now all the modes on my bass and how to apply it in musical situations! Let me know, I can translate the syllabus into Spanish.

[@yourboysylas]

I love his teaching

[@lers0305]

People like you are the reasons I like to teach when I get to the point that I'll be good as you :)

[@MusicCollegeTV]

Thanks Leonardo - I've always said that if you can communicate and teach someone else to do something that you've learnt, then it's proof that you fully understand an exercise or technique. Another reason to work through ideas and concepts with other like minded musicians

[@Romans122YT]

Your right hand is incredibly impressive. I'm all over the place. Constantly hitting strings with my plucking hand that I don't mean to. I notice that you never take your thumb away from the e-string or pick-ups. Other players seem to move their thumbs down as they go down to higher strings. Is one way better than the other?

[@new9000]

okay... im trying to make sure i have this right. A d major scale would be D E F# G A B C# D and then the mode D Dorian is D E F G A B C D, correct?

[@rickajax]

that's right!

[@thedarksiderebel]

damn, thought i was getting to understand the video until i saw this, and now im confused again XD

[@MyDreamside]

the whole thing i dont understand is that when we say c major scale we know that the tonal center is c when we change it to d playing d dorian then the tonal center moves to d but we stil play a c major. So can we play a c major with the d as the tonal center? so if a songs starts with a d note how do we know if it's a dmajor scale or a cmajor scale, ahh i'm confused

[@perryzimmerman9940]

It's easy the notes played are all the notes in a C major scale simply starting and finishing on the 2nd degree or the D of the C major scale. The notes in a D major scale are not the same as a C major scale.

[@aaraodiasdossantos4216]

Thank you!!

[@sdrury01]

[@jameshuggins7694]

[@knowellsoncaberoy220]

[@SuperHandsomehero]

Thanks A alot

[@Autos_ena_miden]

Το be honest i can speak greek since i was 1 year old. :P Btw wonderful lessons. I mean, i never touched a stringed instrument before (drummer, you know...) and in a month i can produce sounds that aren't violating the Geneva Conventions :D

[@staysmuth]

The Phrygian: aka the Guitar Center scale

[@ameeraccle]

i still don’t understand the demonstration on the piano was very confusing

[@max-rdj9741]

Gotta say, modes do seem rather mysterious, but I'm sure it's simpler than it sounds and it'll just click at some point.

[@heleneverdier1044]

thanks

[@knowellsoncaberoy220]

I'd learn a lot (: God Bless (:
