Hi guys...

Just recorded this new video lesson covering how you can start using pentatonic scales within your bass lines and runs. I find them really user friendly! Have a go yourself...

Scott,

Another Home Run by you. You really know how to make learning practical and how to immediately fit concepts into playing bass.

Thanks again,
Dave H.

Cool video, man. I remember watching your one on phrasing and remember it being super legit as well. Thanks!

Nice vid! i have to ask though, what´s with the gloves? You look like your about to do some surgery

Does it have a practical purpose, or is it just some style thing?

Hey guys thanks SO much for checking out the tutorial. It's great to hear that my message is getting through with minimum confusion... this is something I try to strive for with all my teachings... keep it simple, and get to the point with minimum fuss!

Pacman... thanks for posting the link. (Ooo... nice photography by the way!)

St Drogo... yeah, so I've got focal dystonia. - But weirdly, getting this condition is what drove me to put ScottsBassLessons together... so in a strange way, something good came out of it.

Ez,

Scott.

PS. If you didn't see the tutorial we're all talking about, here it is again...

I've seen all of your vids and you are great at delivering the lessons. Sometimes that is just as important as the lessons themselves. It also helps that you seem to be really enjoying yourself. That's refreshing in a world full of bitterness.

You don't need it but I give it my seal of approval.

cheers

Thanks, Scott! Great stuff! If I may, please move the floor lamp that's behind you- it looks a bit like you're wearing a nurse's hat or something......oddly distracting.....
Anyway great stuff! Merry Christmas.

Quick question: I've noticed the videos mention that tabs are available, but I can't find them on your site. Are the only available through donation?

Ah, sorry to hear about that man. Makes what you do that more impressive though. Reminds me of Django Reinhardt or Tony Iommi. Hats off to you!

Damn. Kind of takes away any excuse I'd have to suck
