  • i've been playing bass for at least 8 years and i love it. it is a lot of fun. i get down with all types and styles from marcus miller to les claypool (my fav) to ben kaufmann (of yonder mountain string band which i highly recomment you ALL check out) i have found though that when it comes to just jammin out some songs for your friends as solo act guitar can be more fun. they are so closely related that you might as well learn both.

  • Some people are saying that this isn't a helpful video but they are wrong in my opinion. You may not actually use this in a song (you probably won't) but things like this bring a better understanding of the instrument and how it works. Especially with the bass a good understanding of the instrument is needed.

  • damn.. my fingers are short xD

  • @ZxMetaLxMadnessxZ He says 7 notes because the root note G, is used at the beginning and the end of the scale.

  • anyone else realize there are 8 notes in this scale?

  • Why is there text all over the screen?

  • @liamjenx What does "gud" mean?

  • i love this instrument.

  • It doesn't matter what instrument you play, learning scales will always make you a better player. This is a helpful video.
