This was the singular video that took my bass playing to the next level. I can’t thank you enough man.
Hi Scotty, how do i get the backing track for this lesson?
This is exacltly what I've been doing for 30+yrs on the guitar. I'm a tenor sax player and also first shot reader BUT I was never able to read chords (only monophonic partitions) so instead of trying to learn all the chords and the harmony (which would have been a lot useful but would have taken me too much time to master) I memorized "shapes" on my neck and always played by ear, most of the time without even knowing in which tonality the band was playing. Kinda weird in fact…. Now I really want to learn the bass more seriously and hope I will be able to understand harmony and all the scales a little better…
I was always embarrassed when I told other formally trained musicians I only played by shapes.
Self taught via Mel Bay books…I am old. Still pretty bad at reading notes, but I could always see the shapes Scott shared in this video. Cool video.
my word, yes, very helpful…. however I have to find something to get my bass guitar beter set up, or I am thinking trying shortscale to accomodate my small stature and joints… 😉 but I am visual, and that really speaks to me!!
Awesome lesson. Thank you!
This is an amazing video.Thank you so much.
Carpenter delight in geometry, this is brilliant first time I sounded like I can play something.
Thanks for this precious gem!
so simple, yet so helpful
you are a great teacher
You are an angel!!!!!
More shapes in other keys for chord progressions please. Thanks
Scott, great video for a beginner like me. Thank you. One question, is there a download of the backing track available?
What a great lesson! You can do so much with the pentatonic scale!
Thanks God for you exist!!!!
Hey Scott, what bass is that
Best ever! Brilliant!
New the in bass thing I’m a guitarist so thanks
Can you make a vid of tejano music

This will probably get lost in the 664+ comments, but it looks to me (a beginner) that shapes 2 and 3 are the same (i.e., they have the same notes, R-4-5-b7, just starting with the root on a different string/fret) whereas shape 1 has different notes (i.e., R-3b-4-7b). For my noggin, it's much easier to remember these as two shapes rather than three and know where the root is within the shape. Also, I'm curious why you'd use one of the two shapes over the other.
Great lesson! Gives me some nice fluid lines. Sounds good and shapes help a lot.
I’ve been playing for YEARS and never could have explained this so simply. Awesome work man!
Great Sir.👍👍👍
