Fascinating! Wonderful lesson. The Giant Steps album went gold in 2018 after selling 500,000 copies. Four of those were purchased by me. The LP. A replacement LP after the first one wore out. A CD. The remastered CD. Always loved it, but never understood it to this level. So cool! I got hooked on Coltrane from his recordings with Miles Davis in the late '50s. As a side note, for other Coltrane fans who may not know, the original Kind of Blue album suffered from an undetected speed issue (one of the tape decks used to record the album was 5% off). This was eventually discovered, and yet another CD release of Kind of Blue that was speed-corrected was released. It's a revelation if you love Kind of Blue, but have never heard the corrected version. And, yes, I've purchased Kind of Blue more times than Giant Steps. 🤩
Fantastic lesson that links Theory to Practice. One of the most useful lesson I have seen , as much as I am concerned. Thank you so much Dan for the quality of your teaching.
Thank you so much! Just started to get into seventh-chords. This is a great motivation to practice the chord shapes until they become second nature and the apply them on the fly. 👍
An excellent lesson Dan, I really liked the clarity of your explanations, but also the tips of what to look out for on the chord charts; and the shapes. Stuff here for people of all different levels. Thanks
Thanks for chord chart lesson on jazz chord progression 251 (arpeggio bass notes) and how to play them in various music styles like walking bass feeling jazzy / Motown / etc.
I truly appreciate the incredible lessons and content you consistently provide. I look forward to spending my Saturday mornings studying with you. Thank you for helping me become a better bass player and musician.
Oh' man! This is good stuff dude! Dan, your RUclips channel is very inspirational for me. You do a great job with the video presentation. Ur good in front of the camera, one of the best.. And I've been listening to John Coltrane's Giant Steps forever.
@@lbjmuzic It was late - I did misunderstand it! 😂 But it's also true that this isn't that detailed and I can do another lesson that focuses more on chords/arpeggios in standards. 🙏
@@OnlineBassCourses Do you have any videos on music reading position play....or how to Identify when you may need to shift to a midrange or higher frets instead of making big jumps...I struggle with this challenge.
@@lbjmuzic Yeah, that's a tough one and takes practice and a little experience. I might have something here: ruclips.net/p/PLdXYrUzLRVdqZpQbv0sWOiVm54l6hVET0
Thanks! I chose them literally for the reason that they were the only PJ set in the shop I went to. I’m very happy with them. They’re resonant and quite aggressive.
The staff has nothing to do with the chord changes which is what this lesson is about. Unless you’re reading the melody in the treble clef (actually a good skill to learn for bass players), the chart could be in any clef and the chord symbols would stay the same.
Awesome really stretching me out and forcing what I love ....to learn !!
Great to hear!
A really well delivered lesson !!!
Thanks, Gary. 🙏

Thanks, John. Fascinating comment too! 🙏🙏
Great lesson, Dan. I love this stuff. Question: why did you show the chart in the treble clef? Most of the sheet music I play from uses the bass clef.
With a chord chart it doesn’t matter what clef It’s in unless you’re reading the notes. I just happened to have this chart to hand.
Fwiw. Charts are typically written generically like this to communicate changes with all the musicians and not just the bassist.
Fantastic lesson that links Theory to Practice.

My pleasure, Patrick. 🙏

Yes! This is fantastic info thank you.
Thanks Dan
Really awesome lesson. Thanks a lot!
thanks prof! nice lesson :)
Great lesson!
Awesome, Dan always on top of making great videos and lessons... Thanks bro!!!
I'd love to have that bass...
Awesome!
I really needed this detailed explanation on chords to play thru standards... Thank You.
Yes. I’ll definitely do that lesson. You could also check out my music theory course that goes into that and a lot more in lots of detail.
@@OnlineBassCourses I think you misunderstood my comment but this video was a great lesson...Thanks again.

Love this lesson, thanks Dan
Another usefull lesson. Thanks. Your step by step method makes it all clear and easy to follow. Off-topic question: how do you find DiMarzio DP126?
Thanks! I chose them literally for the reason that they were the only PJ set in the shop I went to. I’m very happy with them. They’re resonant and quite aggressive.
@@OnlineBassCoursesThanks for Your answer. I've read about this set. The only issue may be the J pickup - it seems not to be as loud and punchy as P.
@@piopio3288 I don't find it an issue. By its very nature, a J is going to be different anyway.
The Staff changes dramatically Treble Clef E. G. B. D. F.

Great Lesson Though🎶🎶✌🏽🎶🎶

@@OnlineBassCourses true that !👍🏽✌🏽
👍👍
Great lesson, those jazz standards are a challenge and a lot of fun.
Is that another Ibanez you have there on your left?
Thanks. Good spot! Another cheap vintage one (Musician) I found at a local shop.
Tablature please.
This is an improv lesson so no TAB. Sorry!!
Ive been playing for a year but this language is still confusing to me. How can i learn to understand this better?
If you get a bit more precise I'll gladly help
Simple, buy Joe Hubbard's or Janek Gwizdala's books about jazz/music theory. It will take time.
This will help. Don’t worry, you’ll pick up the lingo quickly: ruclips.net/video/lmi-XwwH3lY/видео.htmlsi=dYZPXx0WFTWosegP
Both excellent. I have a Music Theory For Bass Players course that explains everything too. 🙏👍
@@OnlineBassCourses thank you
Great lesson. 👍
