Hi everyone,

Here’s an old lesson I did last year on Minor scales. Well, the first isn’t technically a parent scale as such! (Find out more...).

These are all great scales and really cool for developing your melodic and harmonic vocabulary and definitely worth a look at if you want to extend your technical ability. 

Remember! Please subscribe to the channel as your support is so much appreciated. 

Enjoy. Darren

Hey bass players !

Here’s a short lesson on chord tones and 4 ways to play them. We call them inversions, and it gives us many more interesting sounds and ways around creating bass parts and neck theory from one simple starting point. 

Please like, share, comment.... And, if you have any lesson ideas you’d like me to post please let me know.

💥Hello again bassists! 

Here’s a lesson on introducing more complex scales such as the melodic ‘jazz’ minor scale. This is a great scale for learning to understand different ways around the bass and certainly for getting your head and fingers around more not-so-common chords.

Please subscribe to the channel as you watch for more of these videos.

All the best!

Hey guys

Here I have a simple hack that gets you playing 2 scales in one and gives you a really clear pattern structure to get you all over the fingerboard in any key.
