Scott I cannot begin to thank you for this! Everyone kept saying soloing just came to them! I felt like a proper idiot at times when jamming too! Thank you for breaking it down like this. Please do more videos on soloing and improvisations.

Yeah this shit really helped me A LOT. I have been having what is basically a mental breakdown every time I am supposed to take a solo. I am so damn happy he tied it all together like this. Terrible music KZread channels always make clickbait vids about "suck at soloing? DO THIS ONE THING", and then they just show you some average dumb ass shit like a single box shape for the Pentatonic scale. But this one ACTUALLY explains shit. Hell yeah.

Great 4 decades of home school and now I get it...Thank you professor !

It's not just the notes, but the space between them! Thanks for breaking this down. The more I understand, the more I want to learn!

I wish this was available when I was young and arthritis free. Best Bass guitar channel on the web!

As much fun as the history and list videos are - THIS is the sort of thing I like to see. More videos like this, please!

It’s as if your lessons, which were already great, got a even better over night... loving the current format/flow and overall presentation! Best bass channel on KZread

I would actually love to see a full mini series on improvisation as I find myself really stuck on the problem of using scales properly as I'm kinds of a newbie in bass

These should price a thousand dollars but you are teaching for free! Thank you!

actually love this channel so much!🎸

Unsubscribe from Steve Terreberry right now.😂 You are now one of us this is a cult. We do not support such people around here.

This is one of the best lessons I've seen from you Scott. You've made the entire concept very easy to understand and I really appreciate this new found perspective on scales.

Hell yes, this material is GOLD.

I hope I’m doing well for someone who has been playing bass for just 2 years. I finally understand 3rd 4ths and 5ths and so on thanks to you. I’ve just learnt music up to this point and really want to start writing and this video worked a world of wonders! Thanks Scott 🖤👁👁

definitely one of the most practically useful lessons I've ever seen on youtube, thanks so much man

I've been waiting so long for such clear and practical explanations !! Two years of jazz impro class and no one has been capable of explaining things in a way which was not over complicated and challenging (what really questions me about those teachers' ability to teach...). Please keep making videos like this one! By the way I am not properly a bass player (I only play a little) but a violonist and still, your videos are so helpfull when it comes to understand music in itself. Thanks a lot !

Scotts bass lessons just hit 1 milion

Scott it's brilliant lesson!!!! Love being your member!

Hell yeah!!! This is absolutely the kind of video I needed, thank you Scott so much for this!!

That was a real life-changing one! Thank You, Scott!!

Thank you Scott!♥️

Excellent. I'm new to your channel, and tend to get bogged down in details when learning. The analogy of scales as alphabet was immediately an open door. I've always struggled with application, and this was an immense help. Thank you.

This is the most useful lesson for me so far. I needed to hear this years ago.

No one has never explained this so simple! Incredible video, Scott! Keep it comming!

This was one of the most helpful videos I've seen in a while. You have me looking at the whole fretboard differently. I still have a lot of work to do but I feel like just watching this made me a significantly better player

This is probably the most valuable lesson I've ever had from you, thank you brother 🤘🏻❤️

Of course, I would love more content like this. Thank you always for your work, Scott.

Wow. Really cool editing jump. Very slick 👊 Great content as always man. Gets me hype to BASS

Hi Scott. Yes I would appreciate more lessons like this. I've spent the last few months practising different scale and modes etc but I am finding them tricky to use meaningfully.

This!!! More of this! I love the useful application of years of obtained, yet esoteric knowledge. This kind of stuff has been "The Missing Link" of my 40+ years of playing. That's why I have always been a strong support/groove player (and worked a lot) but never felt like stepping out front and doing a practice session in front of an audience. Well done Scott! Please give us more of this.... and perhaps dedicate a course or two towards this in SBL! I have been a member for many many years, but this is the first time I have been compelled to stand up and applaud! Well done indeed!

Hell yeah! This is exactly what I need

This is one of the best lessons I've seen on this channel :D

Hell yeah I always pick up something great from you Scott Keep bringing cool content like this

HELL YEAH !!!! I’ve been lost for years with knowing the scales and working appegios not understanding how to make it sound musical!!! Thank you Scott for clearing the air!

This is the best information ever heard about using scales. This is why I joined your SBL member and never regret it. Awesome lesson as usual. Thanks a lot Scott!

HELL YEAH SCOTT! Keep on like that!

I like the exercises you covered in this vid. The HOW, and WHY, or rudiments (in drumming). Keep helping us to understand the building blocks... Scott. Like you said, the solos will naturally follow. Every great bassist seems to play their own style, anyway. We must learn to master the (hidden) SYNTAX, and make it sound like real music.

Scott this is exactly what I needed, thanks so much. Keep making videos like this!

This is absolutely what I come here for. More please.

Scott, your language analogy to bass line musical scales is brilliant.

Hell yeah, i love the jazz improv lessons!

Such a great inallergy to learn the alphabet doesn’t mean you can speak a language. Great way to put it. Been stuck in linear patterns for years. This is so good Scott

Awesome to hear Brett!

Finally, some clarity! Thank you

I had a teacher that showed me scales, but that was nearly all I learned from him. Everything else I know is pretty much self taught. I’m glad I found this channel. I’ve learned so much stuff I never knew!

Hell yeah. I would like to see more about this! It's a good lesson Scott. You're the man. The Bloke.

Finally an explanation thats makes sense for what I'm supposed to do with scales having learnt them!! Always been a big mystery :)

Great lesson! Hell yes I would like more improvisation vids and lessons like this one are why I keep coming back. This hit me between the eyes because I was practicing earlier and felt these holes in my playing.

Hell yeah! Thanks.

I think applying theory to playing is the most valuable thing you can teach us. Show us how all of these scales and modes are used in a practical application. We want to better ourselves as players and showing us how to apply it all to music and real playing is invaluable. Thanks Scott. Excellent video!

Hey Scott! I do tend to fumble around until I hear a phrase I like, will definitely be trying out this approach! I thank ya!

Hey Scott Devine. Been a subscriber for a few years now. THIS MATERIAL IS GOLDEN! Would love to see more videos with this content. "Phrasing" scales to sound musical is where my bass playing journey has been in a plateau. This video is exactly where all my bass playing questions come from.

Reminds me of what Felix Pastorius said in one of your videos a while ago about practising scales. That really stuck with me.

Holy mole!!! I've been looking for that light switch for a couple of years. Thanks for shedding some light! This one video will give me enough to move forward for the next couple of months or more.🤘

I just found this video and, by extension, your channel and let me just tell you that you really helped me out in understanding some stuff that I've been struggling for years! Thank you very much sir!

Good God! A much needed lightbulb moment as I struggle thru music theory in my old age and try to move past 40 years of country and classic rock.

PLEASE, PLEASE provide more lessons like these! This was GREAT!

Makes perfect sense.

Hell yes! This lesson helped my understanding and musical context. I would love more videos on how to tie scales into actual music. Great lesson Scott!

Dude, Scott, thank you for this. Every time i actually want to learn how to do it, I find stupid youtube videos titled some crap like "suck at soloing? DO THIS ONE EASY THING" and then they just show you a Pentagon box shape everyone already knows. This was legitimately helpful. Holy shit man thank you. This is why you deserve more subscribers, screw all the shitty clickbait channels, they are all choppy and teach you random things that leave gaping holes in your knowledge so you can't tie things together. I wont name names but i am sure, they know who they are, yeah all you crappy clickbait channels im talking to YOU. 😐

SBL, Congrats on 800.000 subscribers!

Dude, you totally connected the dots on this one. Thanks, man! I'm on level 5 of Players Path and kinda suckin' on the improv bits. This is definitely going to help.

Hell, yeah! Great stuff!

listen to: the word as law by neurosis. you‘ll learn every minor scale possible in a musical context. dave is a genius.

Yes. More exercises like this are always. These are very similar to what i do to this day, taught to me by the only bass teacher i had. Modes are a great way to explore scales. I am no theorist, but i use what i know in how i play and approach(he's talking modes as i type!) the neck(my palette), and my creations.

Hell yeah!!! This are my favorites

Scott fantastic lesson keep doing lessons of this magnitude..."HELL YEAH"..

Scott you're the best teacher ever! You were born to do this. Thank God you decided to create Scottsbasslessons. I would love to see more of this lesson. I know my scales and arpeggios, but i still struggle to make it sound like "music", if you know what i mean. Fortunately i improved a lot thanks to you and your videos. Thanks for all your help. Keep going, please.

This actually helps to make sense of what you are talking about when you say outline the chords, I have been playing in a band for almost 7 months now and have felt extremely lost as the bass player. More stuff like this please, I’m also a SBL member recently so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

HELL YEAH!!! LOL, thanks Scott. Great work.

HELL YEAH !!, actually this type of exercise "sequenced intervals" was mentioned by Jaco Pastorius him self in one of his interviews and i was searching for this type of exercises thank you scott for making it happen

This was extremely helpful. More of this type of thing would definitely be welcome!

You are right, thank you for this lesson!

Yes!! We need more of that

Scott's chops are smooth as silk man 👌

YES!!! More of this.

This helped me so much, you have no idea. I was at that place where I didn't know how I could incorporate scales in my playing. Thanks alot

Yes !! This is my problem for years for my playing, i always learned the modes scales etc but more i learn it i can’t use it right on my playing because i know more thing back to the day i first play bass i can play anything i like and it sound amazing for me.

Hell yeah Scott!

Hell yeah! Keep sharing material like this on your channel!

Keep them coming Scott...

Hell yeah! This has been a great lesson.

Makes total sense. Without extra clever language. Refreshing... making it stand out.

Hell yeah! I would like to watch more of this type of content. I'm from Argentina and I have learned a lot from you videos. Thanks!

The idea of ascending and descending arpeggios within a given key, ascending or descending through the scale, for example, playing up the one arpeggio, back down the two arpeggio, up three, down the four, and so on and so on, is something that Jaco used when he was learning to play the bass. Not just to learn the arpeggios, but more importantly, to learn to play something more musical, more applicable, to actually playing music with other people. Playing something that he could move in and out of just as you're doing here, to create exercises for practice, and music for songwriting, improvisation, playing with other musicians and having something to play that is actually musical, and not just correct theory, to play. it's the difference of being invited to a party, and saying, "I will bring some food for the party," and you can show up with a can of beans, a can of peas, and a bag of carrots, and while those are all good foods, to show up with a seven-layer taco salad and blue corn tortilla chips, four kinds of cheesecake, and a roast that had been on your barbecue, slow smoking for the last 13 hours and brought over at the perfect post-rest temperature, are two very different things. in both situations you are bringing food to the party, but at which party would you rather be? Do you want to be the guy showing up to the jam session with cans of ho-hum? Or, do you want to be the guy showing up to the jam session with all kinds of tasty, creative, inspiring, and satisfying flavors, and even textures, that are enjoyable throughout, a great addition to every part of that party, and leaves them wanting more? Yeah.

Yeah this lesson was really cool. Had a lot of information I needed to hear; having learnt the instrument solely off transcribing songs and KZread tutorials, how to use scales is something that’s often overlooked

Hell yeah! Way to go.

Dope!! I was stuck and not approaching this like THIS🙏🏾💪🏾

When ever I play I basically always use the Miner pentatonic, bc it’s easy to get a good sound out of it, and I do just fiddle around but I also add a bit of extra notes to make it sound a bit more wide, so I do use scales I just take other notes and make it my own

Definitely love to see more of this. So useful. Unlocking so much for me.

Hell Yeah!!!!!!!!! Brilliant lesson , easy to understand

Hey Scott, love your stuff. Something I'm interested in is creating bass lines that drive a song. I'm ok with improvised fills or solos, but when trying to create a line that is repeated (like driving a verse or chorus) it feels robotic. A couple examples of what I'm talking about would be songs like: "Running Away" by Friendly Fires - or - "Jenny Was A Friend of Mine" by The Killers Both have driving bass lines for the verses and it's a struggle to not sound bad when trying to come up with something like that. Thanks!

Love this guy's lessons in personality

Definitely would really like to see some more improv and soloing stuff!

HellYeah! I need more of those! More leaks, more passages, more about styles explanations. Everything what stays behind learning stuff we are said to be learned!

Hell yeah! One of my favourite lessons by far. Great work with editing as well.
