@Yourboysnacks Actually, I guess a better and more concise explanation is that relative minors and majors are NOT interchangeable. If he plays it in Eb minor, then its in Eb minor.

@Yourboysnacks (continued) As you can see, those scale degrees do NOT match up, since they don’t start on the same note. They have the same notes in them, but the scale degrees aren’t the same. Hope that helps clear it up a little.

@Yourboysnacks I’m sorry for putting this so bluntly, but you’re wrong. If he plays the song in Eb minor then the song is in Eb minor, not in F# major. Also, in the relative major, the degrees (VI, II, and III, etc.) are NOT the same as the scale degrees in the relative minor. The only things relating the minor and major is the key signature. The Eb minor scale goes Eb, F, Gb, Ab, Bb, Cb, Db. The F# Major scale goes F#, G#, A#, B, C#, D#, E#. (continued)

you can connect a bass amp head Ampeg Heritage Series SVT-CL 2011 300W Tube Bass Amp Head in 2 subwoofer Mackie HD1801 Powered Subwoofers 1600 watts each. instead of a cabinet?
or Ampeg SVT-4 PRO Series Bass Head 1200 watts in 2 mackie subwoofers 1600 watts each? cause I have the mackies but I need a bass for our system the can be possible?

This was one of the best Gospel instructional videos I’ve seen in regards to application (apply). The key and placement? Oops The most important thing is he played it correctly. This brother Touch all the importanat points. KNOW THE SONG!!!!!! Wonderful insight my brother!!!! Stay blessed in the Lord.

@tubasrule2012 Its called “You Can” Off Lisa McClendon’s House of Blues album.

@toofpick151 wats the name of this song??

hey toofpick thanks for serving our country as well as giving us these lessons. You are good!!! I’ve been playing now for about 3 yrs and i’m familiar with some of my scales but i never had a clue how to put these licks in until this video. May GOD continue to smile on you brother..

Great video

completely and utterly amazing… helped me alot. would you consider doing a video on arpeggios??

My brother Toofpick i have to say thank you once again. I tried you’re method on Sabbath in church while playing bass for praise and worship and it needs a little practice on my part..lol.. but sounded all in all quite good. Can’t wait to Sabbath comes around again for me to glorify God once more with this instrument. Please keep more tutorials coming because man, you’re a good teacher.

Thanks again and God’s richest blessings

Thanks bro and God’s many blessings, you make playing bass sound so good as will as provide excellent tutorials. Please keep more coming as i’m learning to play bass, gospel style and need all the help i can get. Thanks and God’s Richest Blessings

thx bro that help me alot

@toofpick151 thx, now it doesnt seem so hard. i know the major scale pattern but the types of scales. ill learn them in time

@9winters5 Man there are over 50 diff scales not counting modes. I dont even know all of them well lol!  A good way is to learn how to construct the scales (whole steps and half steps) so no matter what key you will know the pattern/scale type. Hope that helps!

im a beginner at bass (16 years old) but i know quite a bit of music theory from playing trumpet for four years. Im just wondering how many scales there are or how many i should learn for now.

this helped soo much mannn! thanks im a girl and im learning! can’t wait to do all these tricks =)

bro u helped on this one.i like the concept.u cant keep playing scales and not use it n songs.learned something new today!

coool bass player

hey man hopefully we could shed via skype or something… i have a lot of learning to do

@Yourboysnacks Thanks bro. With all due respect, youre mixing two diff scale names. In the key of “Eb minor”, Eb is the actual I. In “F# major”, it would be the 6th as youve stated, and technically D#. The song starts on Eb and if you listen to it all the way through, ends on the 5th of Eb, Bb. your theory on runs is correct though. Just dont want to confuse any beginners. Respect.

Bro your nice… but i just had to make a correction. In the key of Eb minor Eb is actually the VI (6) Ab would be the II (2) and Bb would be the III (3). The actual I (1) is F#. That being said Most Major runs you can do in the key of F# Major you can also do them also do them in Eb minor because Eb minor is the relative minor of F# . Just like F# is the relative Major to Eb. Keep playing tho man it sounds NICE!

thanks for that fam…it was really helpful.

bro God bless you, eveything u said at the start of video was to me bro that help so much

Thanks Dizzee Rascal! Great lesson
