Thanks for watching that clip. I’m using the Onward a lot at the moment but it’s strange. It’s like a sampler, it throws stuff you play back at you and freezes. It’s fun. I’m using the Mantic Hulk a lot which is an amazing sub sound. I love the DL4 too. I will do a webinar on Ableton. That’s where I find a lot of the crazy stuff.

Thank Darkglass anagram, looks cool. I have been so close to getting an hx stomp for so long. Is it a must have and why?

Great Michael, that’s the way! Try to always think about the modes as chord tones and tensions and how they effect the energy.

Excellent, Michael. I always found that learning some of these concepts away from the bass is super helpful too. Even just sitting and contemplating concepts and writing them down. When I pick up the bass I sometimes find myself getting caught up on the physicality of the instrument which distracts me from absorbing the material in a creative way. Again, it’s just about being organized, focussed and patient. I’m here to guide you on all of it..

Awesome Scott, When you learn this stuff, always make sure you are focussing on being able to hear the concepts as well as understanding them. The modes are a fairly simple concept, however digging into understanding the intervallic relationship between the notes and the available tensions over each related chord will help you to be more musical. Keep me posted!

Hi Shannon, It’s a combination of both, You can look at the Understanding Harmony course as well other topics and learn as you go. I have just filmed a lesson on learning the notes which will be available very soon. I’ll point you to that. LEt me know some of the topics you want to work on and I’ll guide you better.

Hey Scott, I try first composing a fingering pattern first and train myself to find smooth ways of connecting positions. You will find the fingerboard study for the major modes helpful for moving around the instrument.
