Ariana, you are the best teacher I encountered in RUclips. Pure technique and beauty. Even for a beginner like me, your lessons are really helpful. Thank you very much
Frau Cap. You are an excellent teacher and clearly a master bassist. After recently coming back to music and the Bass after > 10 years I have found that one of the best things I have done to drastically improve my playing has been to lose my foolish pride (such a hinderance to learning things properly!), go back to the shed, play slowly and work on correcting bad habits I have accumulated since the early 1980's. I have already learned a tremendous amount from just a few your videos I have watched and your book. I plan on becoming a student soon (if you'll have me). I am very glad you didn't stick with the recorder! Vielen Dank.
My sad Consat has been sitting idle for days. I have been getting sucked into all the iPad tools available since I just bought a used iPad 4 - my 1st one. If you don't have the app. "Chord!" I seriously would check it out. It is the best 5 bucks I have ever spent.
Fret buzzy bass you got there. Got it on them triads. I do this with 7th chord arpeggios. Took a little work and a 5 string to get it. But first I had to get rid of my low set buzzy fret string height. I now roll all exercises on my high string bass. Try that. Serious work out. Great lesson lady bassist. 👍🏼
Excellent video and commentary the use of music theory. A's a player of many years you have put forth many new challenges that inspires me to move forward. Thanks for your efforts and keep up the great work.
Great exercise. This could keep me occupied for months! And that's before even adding in 7ths, 9ths, and so on. There's not enough time in my life to work on all the things I'd like to on bass!
Just fantastic Ari you are such a good teacher and you teach the things that are really helpful not just fluff I'm trying to understand what it is you are playing to make it so melodic? I have downloaded the PDF and him playing the 3 notes in each measure going down but it doesn't sound as melodic as what you are doing it almost send sounds like your playing each measure ascending and descending is that what I am hearing?
Awesome lessons, I've just started watching ur stuff the last couple days. I like how u focus on technique and kind of show how to practice correctly. Which once u get this stuff down u can groove so much better. Lately I'm having trouble playing the lines and grooves I hear in my head, they don't come out the way I hear them in my mind. Any tips? I'm sure it's a tough topic to tackle but what can I do to develop this skill?
that'd be a great topic for another video (I produce them together with Ari). here one starter exercise to build the inner hearing to bass connection: pick two notes - ply them until you got their sound in your mind. now imagine a short phrase using these 2 notes (can be less than 1 measure long) - hear it internally - then play it. repeat often. once that works well, use 3 notes and/or make the phrase a little longer - keep building.
When we play the fifth at the bottom, the third in middle, and the root at the top (e.g. G E C), do we call it the 'first inversion' or the 'second inversion' of an open-voiced chord? (To my mind, it follows the pattern of first inversion, so that's what I call it. Am I correct?)
the lowest note determines the inversion. so in your example, this is a 2nd inversion. The top note is sometimes called the position (not to be confused with the position on the neck = which fret the first finger plays), but it is independent of the inversion. in other words, the voicing on top of the lowest note does not change the inversion. a fifth of a triad as the lowest note will always be a 2nd inversion.
Hi Mahesh, it is not a typo, but I realize that it looks like one and that an explanation there would help. In my pattern system there is no pattern 4 because it is contained in pattern 3 already. There is also no pattern 7 (contained in pattern 1). I have a book coming out on this this year.
hi Ariane, I am watching this video from Paris (france), I also downloaded the page showing the open positions for each chord. but I still have one question: in the example you play at the beginning, do you play every lowest note of each chord? because it is a bit difficult for me to catch since you play very fast. keep doing what you do on the tube, because i love your pedagogical style.
Hi Michel, make sure to download the PDF here. It will clarify your question. It is here: www.notreble.com/buzz/2016/07/04/talking-technique-beautiful-practice/ click on This Transcription. Hope this helps :)
Ariane....you are the best bass teacher ever thank.. good job...🎸👍👍
Girl you are the best Bass teacher ever thank

Thank you very much
Open voicings, inversions, what a beautiful exercise, thank you!
Very nice lessons Ariana! Love it!!

Haha, that recorder comment made me crack up :D Happy you are getting a lot out of my videos. Welcome back to bass world! Enjoy!

Great to read :)
I appreciate you doing this. Excellent!
Superb as usual, Arianne.Lots of food in just 10 mins.
I totally loved those opening bass lines!
Fantastic tutorial thank you for the tabs.
Beautiful lesson. You explain things very clearly.

+Ariane Cap yep its about chasing the melody in your head... and truly its the pursuit itself that is the real reward.
Smooth flow young lady ! 😊
You make it look so easy
Classical style on bass is very interesting thank’s for sharing

have a nice time
Beautiful intro 💓

Thanks! I loved this

@@wolfcomposer4853 going to keep doing that... it's starting to help me big time!!! thanks
I want that. That is so cool I want to learn it on my guitar.
great! It works on guitar just as well - in fact it works on any instrument.
Thanks for sharing!
Nice video thank you
I am relatively new to the bass, but love it. I feel like I need to build my understanding of the theory, how do I get your book?
Thank you Stuart. It is on Amazon worldwide :) you can also order it in book stores
Woow Lady, I like that very, very well.
Warm greetings from Germany. Werner
You breakin ma bass here lady:D

Arianne great lesson as always! Quick question. on the accompanying pdf it goes pattern 3/area 3 to pattern 5 / area 5. typo?
Hi Mahesh, it is not a typo, but I realize that it looks like one and that an explanation there would help. In my pattern system there is no pattern 4 because it is contained in pattern 3 already. There is also no pattern 7 (contained in pattern 1). I have a book coming out on this this year.
Great !
What are those sound in the background?
Thomas, it is all bass - it is a plug in that puts a sustain on certain notes and their over tones. Idea of my sound wiz.
Sounds nice! What is the name of the plug-in?
Reminds me a little of Bach's cello prelude in G.
Where have you been all my life?
Nice.
I hate when people make things look so easy, and then I try and fail miserably....

Wow that is a handful ,it's made me realise how weak my hands are
It would be more helpful to know what you're playing WITHOUT the delay when you get to those upper positions.
Just...wow
I LOVE UUUUU!;)
Ps I like the delay! 🙂🙃🎵🎶
shes an amazing bass player... i could easily date her... lol to me she's so hot!!!
yikes
BadAss.
Excellent!
