Bass improvisation D pentatonic

I have been playing bass for a little over a year. Improv in D pentatonic. Lots of mistakes, but it is improvisation after all.

i don't think someone who has been playing for a little over a year should jump straight to something like a musicman

but that is just my opinion not tryin to flame you because that sounded great

keep practicing nd if u kan get that good in a year in like 7 years you will be flea

Can't help the mouth thing. My lower lip is too damn big to really be able to help it.

nice!

how do you know what notes are in d pent. without hitting wrong notes?

[Johnisbetter1024]

there are actually some intentional notes that are not in the d pentatonic scale.

After a while, if you keep practicing improvisation in a certain scale, you just start doing certain patterns and get good at it.

there are actually a lot of mistakes in this video especially in regards to timing.

that's called "the face", alot of great musicians do that. as long as you groove you can look like a clown!

keep on playing! ;-)

At 0:39 you can hear like someone opening a coke.

Excuse me, I just started learning theory alone, does D in pentatonic mean that the root is D? and does it HAVE to go up and down? can't it go sideways? thanks.

it doesnt matter wat kinda bass u got. It sounds great dude keep it up!

[acidiceccfc123]

all i would say is try and work on your right hand technique when plucking, you play like a guitarist would when they pick up a bass. but apart from that you've got some decent groove for someone who's been playing for such a short time

Loving the slap part at the end. No but seriously... nice skills dude, sounded great.
