  • Wait for it...Hahahahahaha! Sure, HammondB200,... Whatever you say. For me, this is incredible to view but is not as instructional as your video on '5ths.' "Thanks, Damian!"

  • man i cant wait to play like you but i guess when i get to ur kind of playing id still be wanting to learn more n more new stuff hahaha the beauty of music

  • Very nice playing my friend

  • Fantastic video. When I'm practicing scales, arpeggio's etc, I always try to incorporate them into my everyday playing so that I'll remember them, BUT I'm having a hard time making "music" out of them.

    Any tips on breaking from the usual scale-ish sounds?

  • U shouldn't be playing those scales in aware. Scales only upgrade your vocabulary. The notes come from within. Practicing scales improves your hearing: "Which notes will sound good on a certain moment or in in a key, a chord, or a transition between chords". Hope I was clear, English isn't my motherlanguage

  • Wow, amazing. So clean, sounds like a classical instrument.

  • 6ths and 3rds are the two most important intervals! thanks for the vid man that was very helpful

  • i like your tone kinda sounds like a frettless.

  • wonderful explanation. I both learned something and enjoyed it.

  • Do you have any good tips for "Becoming one with the fretboard"? :D

    By that I mean any practise methods/ideas you'd recommend for really getting know the fretboard well for improv/soloing etc?

  • I've been playing 35 years so maybe I can help. Remember that almost all scales are built off major scales. That said practice major scales from every position all the way up and down the neck. Practice using 1 string, 2 strings etc. This is what I did for hours on end. Once you have that mastered vary it by playing 12, 23, 34 ,45, 56 etc. Then 123, 234, 345, 567 etc etc and any combination you can think of.

  • I used this method and now I can play anything I want any where on the neck by ear. I can also play most songs immediately, without practice, even ones I have never heard before, just by ear. I owe it all to hundreds of hours practicing scales.

  • That's awesome. Could you improve this kind of stuff as quickly in any key? Or are there keys you are more comfortable playing in?

  • For the most part, I'm as comfortable in one key as another. I've noticed Gb can trip me up if I'm trying to utilize concepts that I'm still working on, but only if I'm having an off night. Keys don't tend to trip me up, tho..

    Thanks for the kind words!

  • The notes on the neck have the same pattern no matter where you are on the neck. Once you learn that, keys don't matter. You can stick your finger anywhere on the neck and play the same patterns. It's the same pattern no matter where you start. Check out Billy Sheehan's instructional videos here on YouTube. He explains it very well.

  • Jaco touches on this on his Modern Electric Bass DVD but you went farther into it,thanks. I have this strange urge to cut off that thing hanging from your beard :-).

  • you wouldn't be the first! ;)

  • Very helpful!

    Thanks, sounds awesome!!
