It can be confusing knowing how to approach learning scales or indeed what they actually are used for. This video lesson shows you probably the most common scales used in bass playing: the major and natural minor scales and their pentatonic versions. You can make an incredible amount of music just by knowing this small selection!
One Octave Major Scale
One Octave C Major Pentatonic
One Octave A Natural Minor Scale
One Octave A Minor Pentatonic Scale
Memorise these shapes and start using them straight away. Use them to strengthen your speed, stamina, strength and general technique. Then come up with bass lines using them.

Dan thank you so much for your videos and also your course ‘From Beginner to Bassist” is an absolute gem. For those of you that are thinking of taking the course but are still undecisive you must. This course is easily a $1,500.00 course with the workbook, videos, backing tracks and PDF’s! The small fee that Dan is charging is a no-brainer for anybody wanting to learn how to play the bass!
Thanks so much, Will – that’s really kind of you to say.
