Okay, okay, I'm not trying to plug my own stuff, but I got a lot of response about the "Idiot's Guide to Scales" thread that has been going on for awhile to ask Paul about posting on the site.

Paul, being the man!, was happy to oblige, and he did a great job in getting it posted to the site. So, I just thought I would get a plug in, (okay, I admit it), for the more concise, "Idiot's Guide to Scales" lesson, now on TALKBASS!

Thanks Paul.

Comments regarding content and format are most welcome and highly encouraged.

Wow, JB,

that's very comprehensive! Great job pulling all those loose ends together in a very readable format!


Chris A.:rolleyes:

Fantastic article.

It's been bookmarked and printed out for reference. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! I know there are a couple of typos in there, which was a bummer, but I hope it's helpful to some. And hey, it's kind of cool to see my name on the homepage of the best website on the internet!

JAZZBEAUBRIDGES,

Ayuh....that's a fine piece of work. A DAMN fine piece of work. Kudos!

Killer job Jazzbo! It's extremely cool of you to put all of that together, looks great. :)

Jazzbo my good man, thank you! :)

That had alot of what I had been looking for. It was very indepth, and I like that.

Thanks again! You made my morning :p

i know i pissed jazzbo off a while ago with one of my opininated comments. but anyway i owe him a thanks, i can never find any good reference articles to tune my musical knowledge. but i don't have to look any further now. thanx man

RAZZ(berry)SNOW -

Excellent article! Very concise and articulate, covers all the basses. I will refer students to it, if you don't mind! Thanks for the referral on the Circle of Fifths/Fourths, I should approach Paul with a proposal for a companion article, hmm?

This article and Gard's circle of fifths post are the basis for a great book for bass students. You guys know your stuff and explain it better than most. I print these things out and bring them to my lessons. My teacher is impressed. I guess I should get off my #ss and send in the 20 bux to show my support.
thanks.

Where were you when I was destined to be a rockstar out of highschool??? :mad:

This is awesome! I am working on this right now and having a good old time. :)

These kinds of efforts make this a great site.

kudos

Great effort, JAZZBOPEEP - it really put my semi-coherent attempt at describing scales in the same thread to shame. Well done.
