There’s an exercise 0, which is to play the roots only. There’s a lot of folks who will benefit first from finding the roots in different spots in the neck.
Yeah, he added that to another walking bass class
Plus maybe using 7b5 instead of that stupid symbols nobody is using anymore?
@@sixmillionsilencedaccounts3517 we were taught to use ( -7b5 ) for those chords
@@sixmillionsilencedaccounts3517 the half diminished symbol is definitely still used
@Punch Down King diminished triad, m7b5 chord and diminished 7th chord are all different things. Helpful to be able to make the distinction
AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! You just clarified the mystery that's boggled my brain for years. A long time ago I was speaking to a school teacher that played jazz piano and she asked me if I could play jazz (because of my name) and I said I don't understand walking bass. I told her, all I know is R+5 and she said, "That's enough".
Great stuff. The number of people I’ve run into who want to play 4 notes a bar fast walking bass lines who haven’t come close to mastering a good 2 feel is shocking. You can basically do nothing but 2 feel the whole gig and people who aren’t major music nerds (I.e. virtually every person) are gonna be saying “that bass player was really good.”
And you can please the nerds by switching it up occasionally.
This is, by far, the single most useful bass lesson on the interwebs.
Wow I actually understood all of this, this clicked! Now to go back for the last couple years of videos and rewatch
This walking gets me walking over to my bass & dusting it off. Thanks Scott 👍
I want to play bass so much right now. That resolve at 10:10 is... perfect. It felt like that feeling right after the shivers. Or when you’re cold and step into the hot sun.
1:56 play each note on different spots in the neck every 8 bars (each chord cycle). warm up with exercise 0 first playing the roots on different spots in the neck
I had a jazz teacher tell me in college "you gotta play more then the root and 5!" but then as soon as I did he said it was too busy so then I went back to what I originally did and he was happy, I've had art teachers tell me I need to add more detail to a drawing so I'll go and sit down and pretend to work bring it back and get told perfect.
If your ok with the easy way out, that's your choice
@@brandonmalone1893 since when was sticking to your guns the easy way out
@@sicilianmammalian most likely they were happy because they thought this dude just doesn't care enough to push himself to improve. You said it yourself, you went back pretended to work and were told perfect. Some times people will say that because they don't wanna waste any time on someone not willing to try
Mr. Scott! Thanks for Your lessons! I study them more then year and Im happy! Now i live in a small russian city and your SBL community helps me to feel better!
Walking Bass lines is THE foundation. Love it 👊🏿
First time I've ever understood anything about walking bass lines. Good stuff.
Best youtube video ever.. seriously..
But i'm missing a backing track of this lovely chord progression.
That would help a lot aswell hahah
Search for an autumn leaves backing track
Such a fun technique and a great lesson. Getting my first bass in a few days and this is where I'm going to be spending most of my time.
Scott was FIRE when this was recorded. “The amount of times students play the perfect fifth” and “you either can or can’t do it!” NICE!!! You tell ‘em, Scott!!!!
scott you are the man, i always learn new things everytime i watch your videos
I swear every 5th ad I see on RUclips is Scott. You must be crushing it.
... and I love that spontaneous cell phone jam!!!
Scott thank you for this video. I too have struggled with walking bass lines. I have kept a lot of pop gigs, but struggled keeping up with jazz combos. Gotta break out my real book.
Dude I LOVE this exercise! I’m going to give it a whirl myself!
Love that intro making music with the ringtone! Great lesson thanks!
Excellent...so simply explained! Thanks!!
Autumn Leaves 🍂
Thank you, your teaching style is really effective for players learning jazz basics ❤
Thanks for this-actually motivated me to sign up for the course.
Good stuff! Thanks Scott!
Excellent instruction! Thanks!
thank you scott. what a great lesson
Thanks Scott!
This is such a fun technique! Thank you for sharing!
Amazing as always!
This is excellent
I applied it to Clapton’s Autume Leaves and it sounds great
Thanks Scott, always enjoy yours & the team's stuff. At one point when you were saying root 'n 5
& root 'n 5, part of me was thinking go on say it - say it ... root 'n tootin' !
l know, very sad.
Scott, Vc é top👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
the first few seconds had me hooked that was rad
Really nicely done.. Looking forward to the JA class
Super cool lesson...thanks
Great Video I play by ear reading notes not my thing..I was trying but I rather watch...good luck everyone
Great leason ty Scott
Curly russell would have been a good shout with his work with parker is very insightful
Hey Scott, you're the best teacher on RUclips. Each time you make me want to start again studying!
Superb exercise
Great lesson, I loved it, thank you! 👊🏻🇧🇷❤
Excellent stuff, Scott! 😎
Great video … once I finish the fretboard accelerator course i will look to enroll next year … the fretboard accelerator is a great course that is really teaching me the fretboard as well as the triads … “ visualize and verbalize “ 🙂 and hope u don’t wind up in bass jail 🥴 hahaha. SBL rocks.
Man! This Is Brilliant!
Literally watching this with a VIOLIN in my hands to help me comp better, I like "walking" comping rather than playing chords or comps!
Great lesson. It helped a lot on understand the structure of a walking bass. The two notes feel is the trick. Thanks.
Great and useful stuff.
Very cool lesson.
Another great lesson 💥💥💥
TTHANK YOU SCOTT. This is excellent! I see some questions about the Key. The Am7b5 is the giveaway; A would be the 7th scale degree, so the keynote is Bb. Then it follows the D7 should be Dm7 which is what I think you played, best seen in exercise 2.
As always a great lesson. I have been playing a lot of walking bass but I have never tried this method, thank you very much
THANK YOU!!
I LOVE this assignemnt!!
I am gonna beat the HELL out of this!!
10:10 that G resolves so perfectly in the second bar.
The chord sequence reminds me very much of 'Autumn Leaves'.
It is Autumn Leaves. 2-5-1-4 and then 2-5-1 on the 6th.
Thanks!
That shit you did at the beginning was Fookn AWESOME🔥 😎🤘
Please make a video of that Jam🙏
Really great video!!!
Really good info. You're a great teacher and player.
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Very nice!
best explanation ever
Cool scott ❤
Thanks 👍
I loved the intro 😂😂
SBL Never fails to amaze me
Very cool
Do you have a seperate video I can download for the phone intro into the bassline?
I really loved it. And would like to download it even if it was made on the spot.
Good lesson
I'm not a jazz guy but that's a really cool lesson.
Oh my that is amazing it is my first time learning that 😅
Super!
Merci.
Thanks man
Thanx again
I'm in. Let's go! What bass is that you're playing? It's 😍
I think Chris squires part in Heart of the Sunrise is a good example
Great video of this simple but musical concept! I'm a big fan of the 2 feel! Its really nice on it's own, but I also love Mixing it up and throwing it in while walking or using it predominantly and then occasionally throwing in some walking. But most import for me is that it's saved my ass on so many gigs when someone called out a tune that I wasn't familiar with and the changes were coming at me quickly.
I understand nothing. But I'm here for it.
Hey so where can I get that neat fret glove you are wearing I feel it would help my playing a bit
Thanks.
👍👍👍
I am going to learn jazz bass. How do I learn to structure it from absolute scratch? I know some things. But I have bought bass books from chords to arpeggios, and a walking bass line book that comes hginhly recommmeded from a composer. Now I need the practice structure. I am asking you, Scott, what is the best way to begin like a true musician, to begin this misson? I am going to learn jazz music.
Useful for piano players too!
Great video!
Faulty Workbook!
The viedo is great but the notes are all the same for all four exercise pages in the workbook, so for Ex 2,3,4 you can't use it.
Fun lesson! Seems to be some typos in the tab - roots and third page. (Still has you playing 5th). Sorry to be that guy. Just hope you can fix it for future people.
When you say you challenge us to do it over the fretboard. Do we always and when do we use the flatted fifth like on the A in your example?
That backing track sounds very familiar. As if it comes from a Path of sorts 🤔🤔🤔
Hi Scott. Where did you get your tune key's muppets frog & bear?
hi , what effect do you use on thids video?.
Hi. Grest video. Where are the tabs ypu refer to? Thanks !
Excuse me, please help! I got stuck on Ex2. 5:22. I can’t get the right fingers for R3 (Tab would help for specially gifted, ugh.). Thanks
That intro was to fire
Hey man great lesson hope bass players take advantage of your gift. I no longer play but I wish I had someone like you in my early years. Had to learn on my own and it was no fun.
when are you doing the song lists again?
Which iphone ringtone is it at the beginning? so beautiful
What’s that frog on the tuner peg? I want that
Where do I find the backing track? Thanks!
Awesome Lesson and cool bass!
What kind of bass is that by the way?
Thanks
Joshua
That's an early 80s Ken Smith! ruclips.net/video/mCSCnb-z19Q/видео.html&pp=ygUNU0JMIEtlbiBTbWl0aA%3D%3D
Does anyone know what strings Scott uses?
Does anyone here remember a Scott's lesson where he plays a sequence and shifts one pattern from the first bar to the second to the third then the fourth?
Ok but how do we play those beautiful chords from the intro?
