One super common question I get asked is what scale should you use over funk music; or what scale will make you sound funky. What I usually say when I’m asked these kinds of questions goes along the lines of, ‘Any scale can sound funky if you treat it the right way’. For example, give James Jamerson the major scale and he’d be able to make some funky bass lines. But you still need to know what notes are going to work, right? That’s where the ‘hybrid’ funk scale for bass comes in. In reality, there’s not a single scale that’s going to work over every funk song - and even if there were, it’d get super boring really quick. Like eating the same dinner for years on end. Even if it’s delicious, you’ll get sick of it eventually. The hybrid scale you’ll learn in this lesson will make sure that you always have fresh ideas to use that will always sound good and will be fun to use. You’ll also learn some classic devices and ideas that you can inject into your playing right now. Whether you’re playing solid funk every day or just want to funkify your bass lines or improvisations, you’ll learn how in this lesson. Make sure that when you use this hybrid scale that you’re not only going up and down the scale and that you’re still using your ears. In this lesson, we played over a C7 chord so E - the major third - works great. However, if it were a C minor 7 chord, then that same E would sound terrible. Now if the talk of all the different scales and modes went a little bit over your head, don’t worry - you’re not alone. Learning what modes are and HOW to use them can be confusing and frustrating, and if that sounds like you, then I have the perfect thing for you. It’s called the Ultimate Guide To The Modes For Bass. In it, you’ll learn exactly what the modes are, how they work, plus exactly where and how to use them for yourself to make great bass lines and solos. Master the modes and you’ll always know exactly what to play in nearly any situation. The guide is 100% free.
