Alright folks. Scott has explained the glove before. It is because he has a disorder known as focal dystonia, in which the neural network begins to mesh together and causes involuntary contractions of a muscle or group of muscles. Scott wears the gloves as a remedy. In my mind, it is amazing he is such a good bassist, despite the disorder. My wife has it too, along with MS. It can be really debilitating. Thanks for the inspiration Scott, as well as the fun instruction. Keep shedding! I will def check out the fallopian flat nine. ha ha!

I too am a drummer who started to play bass about 6 months ago. You will be blown away by how you will find some thing soooo easy to understand on a bass because of your prior knowledge about rhythm. Another interesting thing was that so many of the songs that I jammed to on drums, I now realize how much I was subconsciously listening to the bass line and if I try (emphasis on try) to jam to those same songs on the bass, my brain kinda knows where to go, I don't have to the technical skills to get there yet.

my god man, the idea of a major from the 3 finger starting points just blew my faceballs, right off, i've played for 23 years, and professionally for the last 18, i'd consider myself an accomplished bassist, but have never sat down and learnt all the modes and all, i'm what i've always thought of, and explained myself as a "Shapes" player. No matter what i'm playing at any given time i think about "shapes" where my walks and riffs go is based on shapes that work within the given scale, i won't necessarily be actively thinking about what scale or key, but rather which particular notes fit within what needs to be played, and the positions they fall into, and thus the shapes that i have at my disposal to play with.... learning each and every mode and scale has always been tedious for me, i've spent my time there, i've learnt all there is, but i've never been able to absorb the information too well, but the idea of learrning say the major scale from 3 starting points, resounds strongly with me... fits in with my "shapes" ideology, and best of all it's simple, makes sense, and is extremely easy to comprehend.... i've been watching your youtube clips for quite a while now, but i'll be if i'm not going to sign up to the academy just for introducing me to that mindset!! brilliant!

Your teaching on scales is amazing! Yes I used to be very disciplined in my younger years practising my scales up and down the fretboard. However although my little fingers were agile enough and someone once described me as having fingers like a demented spider! I was only young and kind of missed the point. Now I am little older I have calmed down, and I cringe thinking back. But yes scales are so important and it really is something I want to learn and to brush up on. I am very familiar with major and minor scales, and some things, but I am keen to learn more. Just to loosen me up a little. Not so I can play all the notes, but so I am more confident and not just left hanging when I am trying to figure something out. Something I learned young was a very wise musician taught me that the notes you don't play are just as important as the ones you don't. I love these bass lessons, Scott is an awesome bass player and teacher. He's teaching basic musical principles, or things you would learn on any musical instrument be it piano, violin or whatever. This is bass line stuff-no pun intended of course LOL !

Actually, this is not what I was taught when I had to suddenly switch from playing R&B to Jazz - to fill the shoes of the bass player who had left town. "Its not too difficult to hang with the jazz changes" I was told "you only have to learn the following 5 scales and then you can play practically any jazz standard. Thus I was told, in order of frequency of use, to learn; Diatonic major (Cmaj7) Dominant minor (Cm7 - i.e. natural 6, flat 7) Dominant Major (C7 i.e. major 3, flat 7) Cm7b5 C7b9 (Dominant Diminished) i.e. the dominant scale starting with a half step? ..and then the whole tone (ok, so that's six scales) But it seems from Scott's video, that some of the above are "just modes" - so I don't know if when, all those years ago, I've been learning scales in the wrong priority. However, in terms of "surviving the gig" - they got me through fine, and I even grew over time (at least in terms of proficiency within those scales) - and perhaps some overall musicality, I'd like to think. But what I'd like to really know is - what is wrong with above the approach?. Even after all this time, I am still completely baffled as to which scales are the most useful.

What I find frustrating about theory: TOO MANY OPTIONS. Literally, every lesson, video, book etc. gives WAY too many ways to do every damn thing. I've been trying to find a way to learn theory without 8 different ways to do everything. Options are useful once you know what you're doing, but it all just ends up sounding like noise. "You can do it this way or you can do it that way and this way is just a modified version of that way." After banging my head against the wall learning the difference between a diminished minor and a phyerexian nigel I toss it all aside and just play. If there was a "simple" way to learn theory, I think I'd have found it by now, but I certainly haven't. I pick up bits and pieces here and there, but I find it cumbersome and hard to stick with for very long.

Unpopular opinion: Music theory is for academics and KZbinrs. Not to dismiss anyone or their area of expertise, but think about it. The Beatles didn’t spend a ton of time learning this stuff. Neither did Nirvana. If you want to learn theory, do it- but by all accounts it’s not much fun. Theory people turn the mystery and beauty of music into so many building blocks to be assembled, disassembled and endlessly analyzed. Music is an art, not a science, but music theory texts are compiled by people who study music rather than creating it. Also, it’s a good to remember that Music Theory is heavily biased towards western music; half-step, whole-step, major scale, etc. Indian music (for example) contains microtones between all of the western notes, and rhythms that don’t line up with “proper” theory, which strives to “educate” you on how music “ought” to sound, and what is “correct.” It’s all nonsense outside of the context of western music. If you have a feel for music, you have it. If not, no amount of memorizing scales will imbue you with that.

@@ThatGuy-y2c The bands you cite (Beatles, Nirvana) were playing relatively simple music. You don't need much theory to play 4 chord songs. But, if you want to play complex music (jazz, classical, Zappa, etc..),....then the theory becomes very helpful.

I got super frustrated with this subject and told my teacher I am done. In desperation, he said forget all that crap and learn this: The minor and major pentatonic scales for each key. That is it. So I did. When I am in E, I know which scales are in minor and major. Same with A or C or any of them. Once I had that down cold, *THEN* we began to slowly pour more stuff on top. When I would get stumped, he would stop, back up and just keep going over what I did know, adding a few twist to the basics. I tell you, that is not a bad way to go. Sure, it may take a little longer, but what does that matter?

Charlie Foxtrot The 3rd - obviously Scott is stepping in to a level above where you are currently at. When I first started, I had The Who and Kiss for inspiration. I pressed and plucked the strings as I listened to a song (on a cassette tape or album), one small segment or step at a time. I learned by ear. Instructors are Great, but I never had the money to pay for one. So, as Scott has said before, Practice Actual Songs. For me, understanding the Nashville Number system and how it applies to the major key was a major step in my knowledge. This video just takes all of the possible variations of scales and simplifies it to make it easier. Oh sure, the major scale is where everyone should start, but Go Have Fun and rock out to something easy like AC/DC’s Hells Bells. Or, another song you like that is mostly root notes. If you don’t have a sense of accomplishment one in awhile, all the scale study in the world is going to make you want to quit. Cheers. And HAVE FUN!

When I was learning bass back in the day my teacher told me one day "oh the scales are important, here they are" and he handed me a sheet of scales to learn. I had no interest in them at the time because I was young and all I wanted to do was learn songs. I wish I had really learned the scales well and I could play anything now if I did. I can play songs now no problem but I would struggle if I had to improvise over a piece of music or if I was asked to play a song in a different key.

Scott: thanks for all of your wonderful videos! But there's one part that I didn't understand at all. At 6:09 you explain how you can cover the entire neck by using just those three fingerings. So you start with the first finger, then you go into the little finger position. But your little finger is not fretting the tonic C at that point. Instead it is fretting the note A at the 7th fret of the D string. And the subsequent little finger pattern that you play is not the same as the pattern you showed us earlier when you started with the little finger fretting the note C at the 8th fret of the E string. So I figure I must not be understanding something here, but I don't know what it is. Can somebody help me out?
@ayeupmeduck22 жыл бұрын
I think his point was that if you are playing c maj and you get to the c on the 5th fret you can start again with the second finger position so c on 5th feet of 4th string then d on 7th and e on 9th. At that point you move to f on the 10th then you csn shift into the first finger pattern but pickup from the f do the fourth note then it f on the 10th g on the 12 th and a on the 14th. He’s just using different elements of each pattern in one scale. It’s not clear. He did rush that tbh.

He failed to mentioned the Egomatic Triptonian Shredolydian Minor scale, but that's because he's a bass player. Every lead guitarist knows that scale.

It’s all patterns for sure. I used the major scale heavily to master the chromatic harmonica. I realized the different diatonic modes were the same pattern but just starting on a different note in the pattern. For diatonic harmonica, we call the modes “positions”. First position for major, second position, third and fourth positions etc. Same harmonica, same notes just starting the on a different hole. Now I get to do it on a bass.

I signed up to do the fretboard challenge - have to say, by week 3 I'd made months of progress and felt so much more confident on bass. Scot is a world class teacher but ultimately - you got to do the work! So get off the fence, sign up, pick a course (I suggest the fretboard challenge to all beginner and intermediate players - it's high paced and high level, and you learn so so much!) .. and go for it! Or lose more time on KZbin 👍

Hi Scott, how do you record the bass sound in your videos, it's so clear and 'on place', are you using separate mic for the cabinet?
@octacolombo7 жыл бұрын
hitoZ I need to figure this out! I can't see an extra mic and I can see the plug in the amp, so he's not going into a console, must have a great mic and an even greater acoustic
@caryjamhouse26207 жыл бұрын
Line out from the amp. Switching back and forth from recording from the mic next to him and then when he stops talking and just plays, they are using the direct line from the amp in the video. Would be nice to have a team of techs to help you out haha

Aren't the Ionian, Phrygian, Dorian etc not technically scales, but "modes" of the scale, I've never really called them scales I suppose, just because I think of those being the major minor etc.. and the modes being just modes of the actual scales.

Koka Bel Yeah, I agree, but what if we have a modal song, for example written in Dorian? Then the Dorian Scale would be the starting point on the root. Is that a scale or a mode?
@kokabel78217 жыл бұрын
If you have a CM Dorian mode of a song using the Dorian mode entirely, to me it is still the C Major scale, just the song is in the D Dorian mode of the C Maj scale. Semantics really is all it is. Mathematically it's kind of like the difference to me between a set and a sequence. Like in Major scales it is WWHWWWH, a mode will be the same pattern depending on where the Root note starts, but it is a set out of the sequence, like going to D Dorian on any major would be WHWWWHW. All the modes always follow the patterns of the scale they are based off of, just shifting the pattern based on the root note, unless I misunderstand something, I tend to be math oriented when thinking about such things I suppose. Nonetheless in the end still semantics I would say, so a silly thing for me to have said to begin with :P.
@xlaythe7 жыл бұрын
Koka Bel Are modes always the same pattern of whole and half steps though? If you do D dorian (from CM) it will be WHWWWHW. If you play a B dorian off of an A minor will it still be WHWWWHW (a static pattern) or will it be based off of the notes in your base scale (in this case HWWHWWW)?
@kokabel78217 жыл бұрын
the easiest way for me to think of the modes is in a shifting pattern from Major scales CMaj is obv easy especially on Piano (the white notes), but regardless when you change the root note as in your case playing a B Dorian, the mode will progress in a static pattern still based off the pattern of the major scale. So yes, still WHWWWHW..It just helps me to remember pattern and explain easily to think CMaj because: W = Whole (Tone) H = Half (Semitone C - Ionian W,W,H,W,W,W,H D - Dorian Shift front to back 1 W,H,W,W,W,H,W E - Phrygian shift one from Dorian H,W,W,W,H,W,W F - Lydian 1 from Phrygian WWWHWWH G- Mixolydian 1 from Lydian WWHWWHW A - Aeolian 1 from Mixo WHWWHWW B - Locrian 1 from Aeolian HWWHWWW This video is great because really all of these are inconsequential in a way, if you master the scales he mentions because really they are all a mode of a scale. (When you bring in diminished that just tells you to flatten an half-step), but really if you know the Major scales well on your neck and the patterns even then you already can play each mode of one, better to concentrate on the Diatonic than the modes (since they are really just part of the whole).
