I can't get over how beautiful that bass guitar is 😁

[@subparnaturedocumentary]

bass in dorian just sounds so like professional its so smooth

[@paolozak3014]

Makes all that tedious scale thing so interesting 😎

[@alanworrall9924]

This series is great 👍

[@TriumInfinitum]

Great videos,..Gary Lee Weinrib,one of the best🔥

[@joshs.6608]

One of the bassline shown on that video that is the one for Tempus Fujit also uses the minor 6th in that bassline though.

*Fugit, but yeah 🙂

Thanks Paul !1 Gotta love the minor scale, pure rock ! Stupid question, is a perfect 6th up a half step ?

Interesting stuff Paul. And a very good job describing this with some clear examples. What still confuses me with the modes, is this. if I am a playing in D Dorian, is the rest of the band doing that as well? For example, when writing a song, would you tell your bandmates, this is in the key of D Dorian? Or would the Dorian mode work over other keys? Thanks.

[@PaulDelBelloYT]

D Dorian 'works' under any key of the C major scale. If you play D dorian and the guitar plays C ionian or A Aeolian or any key of the major scale you're still in key. I'm working on a video on this topic 👊

[@thomasfioriglio]

@@PaulDelBelloYT Ah, ok!! That makes sense because all the notes are in the key of C major or A minor. Thanks! And nice job at the end of the video demonstrating how to build a bass line with this. I had commented before watching the part. Looking forward to learning more. Thanks!

[@ImYourOverlord]

Would it not be more efficient to play more of those higher notes on the first five frets, moving to higher strings when needed?
