Master the entire fingerboard with these 5 simple shapes
In this bass lesson I’m going to show you that with just 5 simple shapes you can utilise the entire fingerboard… and the best bit… none of these shapes are more than a 4 fret stretch…
VERY cool! 😉
But wait, there’s more…
– I’ve also got a super special guest with me (Evan Marien)… who happens to be a ridiculously epic bassist
– I get down and dirty with his Ken Smith bass (and yes… I want one!)
– I show you how to get completely new textures from a regular pentatonic scale
– And as always… other fun bass shenanigans! 😉
As always, I’d LOVE to hear from you guys… have you learned or even heard of these 5 shapes before?… or have you been stuck using the same old shape for waaaaay too long? Lemme know in the comments below the video…
See you in the shed,
Scott :)

Uhh, Scott killing it softly
Wow think I am going to have to put my head under the cold water tap after applying this to a song I play????… I am thick as hell so when I have to think steam comes out of my ears…don’t try the whole 5! Just two two a while , then add another and so on, think my head has just raised the average global temperature.

Scott, would you please just say which fret to put the finger on for us mere mortals who don’t remember exactly what a major third is?
Love the channel. I’ve been a drummer for over 40 years on a professional level gigs sessions so on . Anyways during covid I lost everything regarding gigs work . So I Bought a bass and started practising 2 to 3 hours every day for two years and watching your channel. I mean by no stretch of the imagination I can play as advanced as you guys but I am having so much fun learning. But I went from being able to play rhythm on the bass to learning where the notes are practising scales and now been able to play a whole set with a new rock band three-piece rock band as a bass player and I’m loving it. Personally watching people like Andy , Chaka bass player he is crazy good , Pino Paladino, Felix Pastorius, all the bass player on here are fantastic. All so Leland Sklar is one of my faves Bob Babet so on. Love the channel. Fantastic vibes.
That face you made talking about "I'm in my safe space". lolz
gotta admit this helped me a lot man ….a lot of things clicked as soon as i learned this ….thanks very much !!!
OMG
Evan's a BEAST!!
Damn that smith tho!!!!!!!!
That bass sounds amazing!!!!
Scott deserves to be watched without being skipped on his videos. U know guys, he teaches every single of his techniques even others too copying all of them and sharing it to everyone. You're so cool scott!!
Is there a sheet (pdf) for those positions?
I hope that one day the entire fretboard will be my safe space
My safe space is d major, everything is in reference to d major while I’m learning
3:04 someone knows the name of that bass
Thank you Scott! This has already changed my life!
Ridiculously good!!
Thanks for the tips
Of all 23 personalities, Scott is my favorite.
This is soooo cool when I saw this I literally smiled
I would love to take advantage and add more arsenal to my groove, I am a full time musician however I’ve been struggling with expanding my mind. How exactly do I sign up and pay for the course? I can’t tell if it’s every gig I play they basically desire the same story but I’m not sure if it’s because I’m stuck with only knowing what I know? Maybe if I stepped up the game I will be able to get that solo on the recording or gig? Anyways as a professional you are the only one I trust with my knowing that you can meet me on my level and know exactly what to do to move me forward. I really am interested in Skype lessons I don’t mind paying the extra bucks its definitely worth it to me. Anyways thanks for the great information!
How I want to have a guitar like yours, Unfortunately I can't buy it…
sir pls a majr pentatonc plss
Not a video, but I want to say this. When you do something without knowing or understanding why you did it, it's a mistake. When you do it with a purpose, it's a cool thing!
I've been following your videos and have learnt so so much from you! Thanks a ton…words don't do justice here. However, this trick you showed, doubling up on the notes, I was doing this for a long time…and it was always a mistake to me. Mistake of not being able to jump over to the next string fast enough! LOL!
The safe space killed me????????????????
i am a trumpet player but i can not stop looking your video haha why i not know
Scott, I'm new to your channel.
What is the thing with the surgical gloves? Keeps the strings fresh?
Better sound? What are the advantages of latex gloves on the bass? Please tell.
Scott, keep doing what your doing. Been playing over a decade. Your videos are great and helping me get over a long time learning "slump". Much love from Canada!
I love that…???????? than's scott's
Master SCOTT you do all
Outstanding info here with SBL, ????????✋????☝️✌️????✋????????⚡️????
2:11 Safe Space
Wow this lesson perfectly coincided with where my progress was at the moment and i feel like i just got twice as good at bass in ten minutes lmao
rip that baby's hearing
Would like to see this in tabs
Did I miss something. I watched this twice and I still don’t know what the heck he is doing. ???? ????????♂️ Thanks for the knowledge though
I really really do enjoy your bass lessons.. And I would love to have 1 of your CDs and 1 of your 5 strings bass guitar.. But I don't know how it will reach to me because am all the way in Jamaica.. Lol.. Thank u for it..
U gotta get the man the myth the legend Joe Dart on here. That dude is a monster and so original with his lines and fills. My fave at the moment
tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuune
What brand hoodie are you wearing the beginning of the video? It looks very comfortable.
scott can you make a worksheet?
Hey Scott! I'm a new viewer. If you don't mind me asking what bass are you playing in this video?
Evan looks so much like Alain Caron its not even funny. For those who don’t know Alain , he’s another phenominal bass player.
safe space LOL.
