    To learn how to recognise the intervals by ear check out the Ear Training For Bass Guitar course HERE!: www.talkingbass.net/ear-train...
    When you think music ‘theory’ a lot of you out there probably start thinking about stuff like Scales or maybe Chord Tones or maybe even the whole study of Functional Harmony.
    Well, that’s all useful and important stuff to learn but there’s a very small area of ‘theory’ bass players often neglect and it’s something that serves a foundation in learning all of that other stuff and is a basis for pretty much everything we do in music.
    I’m talking about Intervals. Learn your intervals and everything, and I mean everything, will start to make a lot more sense!

    Marc, do you know that you are an excellent music teacher? You are similar to a very memorable headmistress at my Secondary school who taught mathematics. She could bring a class labeled as F students up to A students by her methodical, clear, concise style of teaching. Now, that was almost 30yrs ago. A good teacher is like a good doctor, there are good ones and there are bad ones and you have proven to be the former. You care about us your students and are a damn good bass player. You love music and the bass and it shows. I am 45yrs old and new to the bass guitar. Thank You, Tina

    I am 55, been playing music almost my whole life, classically trained on saxophone, but also play bass as well. I can tell you this guy, Mark, is an excellent teacher, and he has a real knack for educating. After playing sax for 25 years I starting teaching, and quickly found i had to go back to the basics to explain it to students, which forced me to learn it all over again. I get the same feeling watching Mark's videos. For those of you who are younger, i can assure you that you cannot go wrong with Mark. Outstanding teacher that KNOWS what he is talking about.

    Intervals are like words the building blocks. I'm stuck on this idea that everything is a type of story. Every person place thing event action situation tells a story every story has a who what where when which why how. Story can teach persuade disuade . Anyhow great vid thanks.

    So If the Major 3rd from C is E, is the Major 4th an F or A? Like if C is the root and you go up a major 3rd then a major 4th, is the major 4th from the C or the E?

    • @talkingbasslessons
      @talkingbasslessons  Год назад +1

      There's no such thing as a major 4th. C to F is a Perfect 4th. Intervals have nothing to do with scales or keys. They are independent of them. Intervals are measurements from one note to another. The naming convention comes from the major scale degrees but that's where it ends. Scale Degrees and Intervals are different.

    Hi mark I practice major 3rd Intervalls almost every day in all keys for the sake of muscle memory, but honestly I still don’t get the theory behind it. Any go for that? Btw I hate reading. Big up

    • @oneeyemonster3262
      @oneeyemonster3262 5 лет назад +1

      In standard tuning.....the strings are tune to Perfect 4th or INVERTED 5th
      G......................................4
      D...........................b7.......R
      A..........................4..........5
      E..........................R............
      KEYS are just PITCH.....If you can play in C MAJOR/A min
      You can play in ANY KEY....Simply use the FRETBOARD as a slide ruler
      in ther words...The G MAJOR scale has the same INTERVAL as the C MAJOR
      scale...it's just in DIFFERENT PITCH.
      In other words...You need to learn the entire fretboard in C MAJOR/Amin
      The MAJOR scale ( as you know it) is just ONE out of 9 diatonic scales..
      it is how ever the REFERENCE point for everything we communicate
      Basic chords are just EVERY OTHER NOTE...You get what you get.
      CEG...DFA...EGB....FAC..GBD...ACE..BDF
      CEGBDFA.....1, 3,5, 7.....9. 11. 13 ( 2, 4, 6)
      FAC.....is 1, 3, 5......in reference to the Major scale interval
      FACE.....is 1, 3,5, 7
      EGB.....count from the E note....in reference to the major scale interval
      it's 1. b3. 5.....
      EGBD.....it's 1, b3, 5, b7
      ACEG = 1, b3, 5, b7 = Amin7
      There's other scAles....the formula is still the same..
      EVERY OTHER NOTE
      example A harmonic min....simply have G# or Aeolydian with a maj7
      A BCDEFG#
      A, C, E, G#........so the arpeggio are 1, b3, 5, 7.....( Amin/Maj7)
      E, G#, B...or E , G#, B, D
      1, 3, 5 ....or 1, 3, 5, b7.....Maj or DOMINANT (E7)
      The process simply continue....A melodic min......F#. G#
      A aeo....with maj6 and maj7
      ABCDE F#, G#
      it''ll just be like this.....
      A min....D7....E7
      Well....Sometimes...
      It's Amin....G Maj....F Maj...E Maj ..into A min
      That's just the basic....
      As a bass player...I need you to at least be able to play or know
      the arpeggio of the chords...
      espcaily when Im SOLOING over the Bass
      example....let say you play A MAJOR
      I can modulate to harmonize over the A Major chord...
      i can play different modes over that A MAJOR TONE center.
      The name of these modes simply tells me what the intervals are...that's all.
      A ion...
      A Mix
      A lydian
      A Mix b2
      A Mix b2, b6
      A Mix #4
      A mix #2, #4
      A ly #2
      A loc b4
      A phrygain b4
      ( the b4 has the same pitch as Maj3....that's all)
      Just becuase I know how to play whatever ( maj or min) over chords
      dosnt mean everyone dose....
      Even if i did play a b3 while over a MAJ3....chord.
      Im also going to play the maj3 note to harmonize..
      The b3 is sort of like a passing note....into or out of the Maj3
      Playing the bass sometimes is actaully like playing LEAD...it;s just in LOWER octive.
      The process can simply be REVERSE...
      I'll simply strike or strum an A MAJOR chord..
      You do whatever is clever to harmonize over that A MAJOR chord.
      I'll actaully REST sometimes or haft of the time...to let the bass player play..
      during turn arounds....sort of like playing DRUM ROLLS...'FILLS.
      It gives the band more of a BALANCE SOUND.
      Or sometimes...the bass and guitar are mimic each other note for note...
      But just in different octives.....
      ( whatever riff....various modes..ect) it would be helpful if you knew
      those intervals....becuase there's different ways to play it on the fret board.
      Your fingers might not be long enough..So you need to transfer it to whatever
      is more comfortible for you to play it.

    • @thrillaspirit
      @thrillaspirit 5 лет назад +2

      OneEyE Monster bro I know how to play in a band and also with the fills and modes it’s just that i am relying on my very ear memory and sometimes plain visual on fretboard, yes I know it’s not always the right way. The basic theory I understand, I’m simply asking what is the exactly role of Intervalls and how to study it while playing, as i said i hate reading, I want to learn it and fully understand it while playing and/or practicing, however.

    • @thrillaspirit
      @thrillaspirit 5 лет назад +1

      OneEyE Monster i read your comment again, do you want to say an Intervall is just an actual Intervall between the scales or modes of the scales?! If not then Sorry, i don’t get it :-(

    • @oneeyemonster3262
      @oneeyemonster3262 5 лет назад

      YES....They are...Music theory will make more sense if you learn ALL of it...NOT just ONE scale out of the 9 ( 7 notes)
      YOu dont have to learn them all right away ...
      but do know they exist...and actaully work together.
      He's trying to keep it SIMPLE for you....MASTER it you must...
      but you're going to get off of that only one or REFERENCE interval.
      IT JUST the REFERENCE.
      I'll explain to you as easist as I can ...(ALL 12 NOTES WORK)
      1..........2...........3...4.............5.............6............7..8 (REFERENCE)
      b2 b3 b5 b6 b7 ( 5 black keys on the piano)
      They had to call them something...
      b6 = Harmonic MAJOR
      b3 = Melodic min
      b3, b6 = Harmonic minor
      b2, b3 = Melodic min b2.....AKA (N6)
      b2, b3. b6 = Harmonic min b2
      b3, b5 = melodic min b5
      b3, b5. b6 = Harmonic min b5 ( III Mode of Hungarian MAJOR)
      b3 #4 = Melodic min #4 ( lydian b3 or IV of Harmonic MAJOR)
      b3 #4, b6 = Double harmonic min.....Aka...Hungarian min
      b3, b6, b7 = NATURAL Minor
      The lydian b3 or melodic min #4..is an overlape from Harmonic MAJOR.
      I did it like that...just to help you see...
      It's just a melodic min #4,...Vs Harmonic min #4
      Those dominant ish...modes...derive from those 9 scales
      1..........2...........3...4.............5.............6............7..8 (REFERENCE)
      All these modes has the MAJ 3rd and b7 ....in them
      mix= ION b7
      Lydian = ION #4
      Mix b2 = V of Harmonic MAJOR
      mix b2, b6 = V of Harmonic Min
      mix b6 = V of Melodic min
      Mix #4 = IV of melodic min
      Mix #2, #4 - Hangarian MAJOR
      Loc b4 = VII of melodic min
      Phrgian b4 = III of Harmonic MAJOR
      The #2...has the same pitch as b3
      1..........2...........3...4.............5.............6............7..8 (REFERENCE)
      lydian #2
      1.................#2 3............#4..5.............6...........7..8
      Lydian dominant...( same as Mix #4)
      1..........2...........3............#4..5............6...b7.........8
      Mix #2, #4 or...Lydian dominant #2 ( Hangarian MAJOR)

      1.........2.........3...4.......................#5...6...........7..8
      lydian augmented
      1.........2.........3.............#4.............#5..6..........7..8
      lydian augmented #2 ( vi of harmonic MAJOR)
      1................#2.3...........#4..............#5.6..........7..8
      You can REVERSE the PROCESS...PUSH UP from the relative min to
      it's Parallel MAJOR...
      the 3rd or maj3......b6 or Maj.6.........b7 or maj7
      Are JUSt the SECOND ARPEGGIO of the I. IV , V chords
      G#.....F#......D#
      The D# or #4 is the second arpeggio of the II chord...
      If you play C#, F#, G#,....it'll simply be A MAJOR
      A min......D min......E min
      A min......D min E7
      A min D7..........D7
      A min B7..........E maj7 ( lydian b3)
      or like this,.....C Harmonic MAJOR
      The b6 is the second aepggio of the IV chord.
      C Maj.....F Maj G7
      C Maj F min G7
