Even as an intermediate now, this is very relevant to pretty much any bassist of any level. Understanding how to read chord progressions and qualities and how to act in them are massively important to ensuring the flow of a song indeed. Great work!
I've self taught bass for a year now. I knew all the content of this lesson aside from stuff about chord structure. Despite this you talk about it so well that refreshing myself on the basics become fun! I'm gonna look into more chord stuff now. Thanks so much for your lessons, they've helped me alot along my journey!
I already kind of knew this but I knew I was most likely gonna learn something new or understand this better and you bet I did, keep up the good work man
Just started playing bass and this evening just figured out a chord chart on a play-along that I am practicing on and typed in chord charts and you came up..perfect! I am now a subscriber and will purchase that chord tones essentials booklet of yours...Thanks...Your a dam good instructor!..Keep talking bass!
Never a wasted lesson, Mark. Doesn’t matter if we’ve known this since the 60s, we some how fail to communicate our root note or chord-tone arpeggio process to our band mates when we they are calling out an Am. We might say; cool, I’ll play an “A,” (played after the C, and before the F and G). Whoa! They argue that we bassists shouldn’t play an A, but an Am triad+ at the lower two frets, strummed like their open cowboy chords.That’s mud! I’m sending them a link to your video, because you say it clear enough for even guitarists playing six-skinny strings to understand. I hope.
Great video, and as always amazing well timed with my own progression! I've been practicing my forms for major and minor triads, but realized I didn't know, well, a lot of this! Question: In older chord videos you showed a C Major triad or chord as the root, third, octave. Then later play with root, third, seventh. What's that called, just Cmaj7?
Pls I'm new to this Chanel, I really want to learn how to play bass guitar but I don't know how to start or where to start from... Pls I need your advice. And also I just subscribed
Check out his site at talkingbass.net. There is a lot of great stuff there. I haven't played in 15 years and picked up the bass again. I've been using Mark's lessons to get me back up to speed. I am self taught and never learned a lot of what I am learning from Mark. I just started from lesson 1 and went from there.
Dude this has to the best Bass lesson channel in earth
