Single MM pickups usually aren’t my thing, but I’m LOVING your tone! Great vid!

Thanks! I’m a fan of them (and this bass).

Hi Dan! I want to thank you for all bass lessons on your channel, now it is one of my favourite! I play bass for 3 years and I stil learn. I found so many interesting ideas for my basslines in your videos I began to use. You are very cool bassist and teacher.

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Thanks so much - really appreciate that!

Excellent lesson! You really boiled it down to the essential. I know it's good to learn all 5 pentatonic shapes as most instructors insist, but this was just what I needed. Now, I'm going to go play my drums for a while.

[@aronnax898]

Thank you for the PDF! I always learn so much from you.

[@rogerbaird901]

Another great lesson, Dan.! Your teaching method resonates with me because you get straight to the point and your explanations are crystal clear. Your enthusiasm and love of the bass is inspirational. You are a rarity among teachers!

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Thanks so much!!

[@zx11dlegend]

Awesome job 👏 thanks for sharing this lesson 😀

[@profile2047]

So wonderfully helpful.

[@workthenplay]

You speak to your expression that you add in all your videos in more detail this time and I really really am glad I found it as it takes regular playing and makes it sound *pro*. Thanks for your excellent videos - I am learning fast watching you!

[@OnlineBassCourses]

I’ll do more on that soon…

[@chuczel766]

Sure is!

[@ronviejo4994]

Good lesson Sir! I'm mad for pentatonic scales. I use them all the time myself. You can never learn too much about this. I also would like to thank you for putting up the images of the scales so we're not guessing what you're playing. Well Done.

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Many thanks!

[@miketugaga5252]

Dan your lessons always ROCKS. Love it bro, cheers!!

Hi, great video! The thing I like best is your sound, can you comment how do you achieve it, I can see an Avalon pre, thanks!

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Thanks! I explain it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIm4g5qGZ710i80

[@joekrim6557]

i actually got that!😮

[@blousug]

Thanks for this video! I am working on, and mostly have the fretboard memorized. I also have my major, minor and pentatonic, major and minor scales memorized. My end goal is to move around the fretboard with ease, any tips for that? Thanks again 😁

[@OnlineBassCourses]

Check out my fretboard knowledge playlist. There are a few lessons there. Basically, learn the notes everywhere and then play patterns all over the neck. Get to know the sound and the intervals. It does get easier!

[@blousug]

@@OnlineBassCourses thank you 😊

[@skiphoffenflaven8004]

I heard Cosmic Debris in that second one.

[@paulbyrne396]

Gotta love the tone you get from that old ‘Ray!

[@OnlineBassCourses]

It’s a great bass!

[@illustriousdrbobble]

@@OnlineBassCourses How do you eq it for that awesome tone? Recording direct?

[@OnlineBassCourses]

@@illustriousdrbobble yes it’s going in direct. I just turn the bass knob up on the instrument and the treble a bit. I don’t do anything else.

[@illustriousdrbobble]

@@OnlineBassCourses thanks for replying. mine has a mid knob too, I suppose I’ll have to work out where that sits. Flatwounds or round?

[@tron_143]

Hey Dan, great video. In the first pentatonic shape for G min, you mentioned, C and D as min chords. Isn't D , the fifth in G min, and won't that make D as a Maj?

[@OnlineBassCourses]

In a minor key, the v chord is minor as mentioned. It’s major in a major key. 👍

[@tron_143]

@@OnlineBassCourses Alright, wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the knowledge 👍

[@tron_143]

@@OnlineBassCourses Hey Dan, isn't a fifth known as perfect, be it maj or minor? I checked many places, they call it perfect even in a minor scale.. perplexing..

[@OnlineBassCourses]

@@tron_143 yes. A 5th is usually perfect but can be flat or augmented too. In a basic major or minor chord it is ‘perfect’.

[@workthenplay]

Is the perfect “5th” at 5:02… isn’t that a perfect fourth (which is 5 half intervals)? I’m learning theory right now and just read saw this difference. Please help!

[@stevieffs]

It's either - depending on which way you look at it!

[@OnlineBassCourses]

It’s a 4th if the F were the root. Since the Bb is the root though, it’s still a fifth although it IS a 4th down from the Bb root!

[@lazosa5576]

😮

[@robertlehane9955]

What am i missing here, i thought the F within the B flat major scale is a dominant chord!

[@OnlineBassCourses]

If you put the 7th in then, yes, it Is. The basic version is just an F major chord.

[@robertlehane9955]

@@OnlineBassCourses Ah! Thanks very much Dan.
