Master THE NUMBERS SYSTEM (in under 10 minutes!)

  • I'll keep this super short as I'm writing this from the middle of a studio session (with the one and only Gary Willis... WHOOP!)... so let's get to it...
    You can practice your scales... practice your arpeggios... but if you don't understand THIS none of that will matter as you won't understand how and why EVERYTHING is connected...
    And once you start to understand this system it's ALL gonna start making sense.
    Intrigued?!...
    I hope so ;)
    It's all about the numbers system... and I'm going to show you how to understand it and apply it to your bass playing - in less than 10 minutes!
    As always, see you in the shed!
    Scott :)

    • @natskis

      I would recommend you watch some music theory videos on youtube. e.g. ruclips.net/video/_eKTOMhpy2w/видео.html
      Then how chords work ruclips.net/video/5Y01jIorpeA/видео.html
      Things will slowly creep in and make more and more sense.
      Rewatch them if as you get more the 2nd and 3rd times as you learn more.
      There's so much good stuff on youtube

Your answers in those videos have answered a lot of the question that I have had myself. Thank you for all you do.

    I use the full number system, wherein in the key of C, C is I, but D is ii, unless you're asking for a borrowed major chord, in which case you would mark it as you have above, with an upper case II. It adds much more depth to the numbers and allows for faster chart/form comprehension.

    I remember sitting in with a lot of different bands at benefits and so forth when the lead guitar player or the keyboard player would yell across the stage the number sequence and the count. Knowing the type on music being played I could do the song having never heard it. Other information was given such the intro.
    So it would go something like :"It's a 1-4-5 in A with a turn around intro". (Nashville)
