My fellow bassists, we must assemble again to determine the fate of this month's education. Let me know what you want to work on this month! You can pick more than one option now (new Patreon feature).

I'm with others in regards to music theory. I had a (bass) teacher for 3 &1/2 years that Never addressed theory. I was LOST! I left that teacher 3 years ago and took it upon myself to learn theory. It has been eye opening! I used to wonder how do musicians know what to play? What's a 3rd, 5th etc. What are bassist playing when they move up and down the neck? Now that I understand the circle of 4ths & 5ths it has opened up my musical mind and now I know how to play major scales and minor; the 6th degree and keep going cuz all the notes are the same right? Now I'd like to learn how to use these scales musically so that they don't sound so mechanical and rote. Like saying or singing the alphabet and not using the letters in combinations to make words. I still don't understand when a bassist says I'm playing a (whatever) over a whatever. Can you give examples of how to work on these (theory, finger style exercises and tone simultaneously ?

Makes sense. It's pretty hard to play music without a bit of theory knowledge unless you're a genius or you started learning very young. I'll make sure to do some theory lessons soon!
