you are amazing! wow i play another kind of bass but this really helps. my technique has inproved thanks to you…Thank you very much!
Thanks again for another post and for your kind words.
My online course is designed for bass with any number of strings. The demos are on 4-string, but I often suggest (both in the lesson texts and accompanying videos) applications and extensions of exercises for 5 and 6-string basses.
Kind regards,
George
Hello Mike and thanks for your request. This is not an actual song; it is a riff with fills. I don’t advocate the use of tabs unless it is really required.
I believe everything in this video is well-enough explained … and it is more about the use of the concept as opposed to copying my improvised fills.
Bass of Luck!
George
Thank you. I was drooling over it in the Fender catalog until I just had to get it.

George, Im 48 years old and been playing 6 string guitar since i was 12. Ive just purchased a lovely Ibanez 5 string bass and a few years ago , a J D Luthiers Bass . ( 4 string)
Your videos are very helpful and id like to purchase your lessons on line. Do you have 5 string specific lessons ?
thank you again for what you have set up on youtube. You have a pleasant way about you which comes across very well on video..
Thanks again

For both issues you may have to do some research. (This post of course is the beginning of your research.) I suggest a google search with relevant keywords.
Bass of Luck!

Hello and thanks for your kind comment and question. I am happy to help.
The most safe scales are Major Pentatonic for major chords (not for all major chords, however) and Minor Pentatonic for minor chords (also not all).
George
P.S. I think I use the term “safe scale” somewhere in this video.
hello… ur videos have helped me alot.. thanx.. but i have a question… what scales are safe to use with any chords wether they are minor or major?
Not quite – I’m Australian.

OH MY GOD AN ENGLISH TUTOR
You’re really cool, and a great teacher!
very great lesson,thank you soo much!!!
Excellent. Thanks Marc. Greetings from Australia!
George
Thanks. Your musical example is nice, and your explanation help get me over a “hump”. Thanks a bunch from maui,
Marc
It is actually a good question.
The minor pentatonic scale scale works well over a Dominant Seven chord (which is a major chord) such as G7, C7 etc. but does not work well over a Major Seven chord such as Gmaj7, Cmaj7 etc.
I hope this helps.
George
