In this lesson, acclaimed bassist Yonit Spiegelman demonstrates how to use the minor pentatonic scale to craft grooving, powerful basslines in a variety of musical contexts (namely rock, funk, and reggae). If you're looking to step up your feel and musicality without having to learn a book's worth of new licks, look no further; as Yonit reveals, one can establish a commanding groove in many musical settings using only five notes. Check out the video, and feel free to post your questions in the comments!

I really like the grooves Yonit was laying down! I was just wondering about the colored strings though...... Is it just a preference thing or is there more of a purpose?
