[quote name='Clive Thorne' post='266344' date='Aug 20 2008, 03:08 PM']My teacher has has got me doing the major scale, but doing all the modes which you run up and down in sequence. Ie you start with the normal C major scale (ionian mode) going up, then move up to C major dorian mode (ie starting on D) -coming down, then up on the phrygian (E start), and so on all the way up to the Ionian mode an octave higher.etc then down all the way doing each scale in the different direction. When I started this it looks pretty daunting, but its actually a lot easier than it looks, certainly teaches you the patterns for each mode, and gets the left hand fingers moving. Mind you, I find that knowing it as an exercise is not the same as being able to use it in a tune! And as others have said the beauty is that on a bass you can start at any fret and it gives you a different key. Also, for one octave scale, you can start on the E, A, (or string to give you different scales. Edit: I tried to say, or B, but it put a smiley in[/quote] Your's and my teacher must be talking to each other cos mine has me doing the same!! But mine's a sadistic tw*t ( ), he has me playing say C major in the normal way ie c,d,e, etc then when I get to the octave C, he wants me to play D Dorian backward then E phryg. normal F lydain backward and so on and on I would learn all the 7 modes of the major scale too. I bet you hadn't started this one eh Sarah?? Scales are a right minefield!!

Not one of me playing bass, sadly not up to playing in a band standard And probably never will be But here's one of me doing my other passion scuba diving. This was taken of me diving in the Red Sea, Egypt.

Chris bought my Zoom B2.1u off me and all I can say is he is a top bloke. He paid for it promptly via bank transfer and the transaction went off without any problems, so THANKS Chris

Hey Teddy Here's a good shop [url="http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/search/index.aspx"]Nevada Music...Ibanez SR 705[/url] They are a good company to use. And the SR705 is a beast of a bass, it's superb!!!! I know cos I've played one at Nevada you won't be disappointed if you manage to get one, I nearly did!!!

[size=5]F**K ME!!![/size] Matt that's one sexy Warwick, what street corner did you pick her up from, she looks totally filthy. I bet she loves the SLAP and tickle. I'm off for a lie down in a darkened room

Man the guy who sold it must have been either really hard up or just stupid. Somebody has got a real bargain there, it looks like it's been well looked after, the guy will probably regret selling that one day!!

Nothing f**kin sound card's gone tits up
