Hi, I'm Chris.
I'm a bass player, composer and producer from Melbourne, Australia.
And I thought I would start a series of YouTube videos to give you a bit of an insight into what I do in the studio,
grooves I play on bass, stuff I do in gigs, a bit of inside information, you know, stuff to do with gear,
you know, anything from gear to scales to bass sounds I pull using different basses, and yeah, see how it goes from there.
So I thought I'd start off today by showing you one of my favourite scales.
It's an Ethiopian scale called Anchehoye.
You can hear it on a famous Malachu Estadke track called Yekete.
You can find that on, if you've heard of the Ethiopiques series of albums, which is all traditional Ethiopian stuff mixed with Ethio jazz.
I think there may be even like 12 CDs of Ethiopian music.
You can hear it.
There's a Malachu disc on there and I think the track's on the Malachu one.
So if we're in, say, the same key as Yekete, which is B flat, the scale is 1, flat 3, which is like a D flat, E, which is a sharp 4, 5, F, and an A, which is the 7.
So it's a pentatonic scale and in the case of Yekete it's in B flat.
But again, you know, it's movable anyway.
The other weird thing about some of these scales is you can see them from any part of the scale.
So sometimes they're played [E] from the third note, and then,
[Bb] [Bm] so the third note's seen as the [N] tonic, which is a bit confusing sometimes,
but they're all still anchehoye, the same scale, which is the.
So the groove to Yekete, for example, is like this.
So a pretty cool groove.
So have a listen to the track and see if you can play along.
Thanks for watching.
