L290 Em pentatonic bassline
Add to favorites 
A relatively simple bassline using only notes from the E minor pentatonic scale – E G A B D.
Im experimenting with my new audio and video setup:
A Creative Vado HD 3rd generation pocket dv cam for video. Not enough light in this shoot, will be better in next video:)
And for audio; a TC electronic RH450 amp direct output into a Apogee Duet soundcard into Garage band (mac)
On the Jazz Bass Im favoring the bridge pickup and rolling back on the tone control (Jaco style setting)
RH450 amp settings for this lick:

I saw on You Tube that standard notation parts are available for certain tutorials. I can’t find them on the site. Could you please indicate (clearly) how I can get to them? Thanks, Diane

A “practice tempo” is a tempo where you can play the line fluently and precise;-)

Thank you!

I have no problem with the video on my mac here, are you on very slow computers?
Bass is loud too.
Maybe you should just download the iPod version?

The video is freezing up and the bass is very low! All other videos are working. Please help, need my fix!

…sounds OK, but the video was jerky and delayed when I viewed it (has been quite OK for a long time with the “old” setup) Hope this is not permanent

Hi Marlowe
Nice lesson, I wonder where you get so much inspiration.
One day I’d like to see a lesson about tone, pickup balance and amp settings, etc
Regards from Portugal

: Hi MDK, Wow waht a great DVD... just spent a few hours learning the first few lessons... great quality and well taught... I'm very pleased with my purchase. If any improvment could be made I would only say could there be a 'repeat' funcion so that you can get a lick to play continually? or what aboutt a not showingthe BPM so that we can use the correct tempo using the drum patterns... overall a wonderful job... I look forward to more downloads in the future.... especially for IPad
: Great to hear, enjoy it:-)
: Finally I donwloaded the DVD, its simply amazing. I wait for more material like this. Thanks you very much! Cheers from Argentina
: Thank you, and yes, i will make something else for the next dvd
