[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

Root Notes, Octaves, 5ths and Scales. That’s my way to do Basslines. Everything after that is rhythm. Once my drums and chords are laid I usually do Basslines and then leads and ear candy.

[@BigHomieFilms]

Can you explain a little more of this method or point me to a link

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

@@BigHomieFilms Yaahn just explained it. He showed you root notes, he showed you octaves, he showed you 5ths. Learn scales. If your key is C major or A minor then all the white keys are potential bass notes. Rhythm is in you. After the drums are laid. Then feel the groove and play the bass notes rhythmically.

[@BigHomieFilms]

@@bjamminsincebirth3494 yep just finished watching thank you

[@Yhuntermusic]

Indeed!!! That's it right there!!

[@JackPeloquin]

Is that right? Sounds like how shits usually done. Bass and drum tracks first. Guitar, overdubs… vocals. all the same process. But hey!!! You’re learning!!!

[@Yhuntermusic]

I'm sincerely honored that you guys are getting value from this video! Wow! Thank you all so much!

[@Deezeone]

this man has the illest basslines ever ,.. no one comes close .... he can sauce it up in so many ways... incredible

[@wiseknowin777]

You simplified this better than my professors at Full Sail. Brilliant sir, just brilliant!!!

[@Yhuntermusic]

Wow that means a lot fr fr! Blessings!

[@j317]

Full sail was a complete waste of money classes felt rushed and most of it was just stuff u could of watched on youtube and learned i think full sail may be better for things like video game, animation, etc but in my opinion u don't really need it for music production

Hunter Man! Thanks for explaining bass lines - be that in practical application or music theory. Wow - Those Bass Lines are out cold!

[@JasonWright-mc6dz]

Good stuff! Im a bassist w/absolutely zero experience or ability on keys. So I was really interested to check out how a non-bassist approaches playing & creating bass lines. What I found was that conceptually your approach is essentially the same (fundamentally music is music regardless of the instrument). BUT, where things begin to diverge is the moment the bassline no longer exists as single isolated part. This also introduces the other significant difference; low register chords/harmony. As I said I’m no keyboard player but I believe harmony is paramount & informs note selection in the lower register. That’s really where you’re understanding far surpasses pretty much any other instrumentalist!!

[@Yhuntermusic]

I appreciate that! It’s definitely about the fundamentals. Harmony is key!

[@brakinina]

Great video bro! Just another example of why learning your SCALES in all keys, major and minor will help you create your basslines. Practice, then execute. The rhythm is super important too.

[@Yhuntermusic]

Thanks bro and FACTS!!

[@darkus_prod]

IVE BEEN WAITING ON THIS !!!!!!!!!!🤣❤‍🔥

[@remyvegamedia]

Nice and clear breakdown. Really good presentation. Do you have a church/gospel background? You must haha. I play a lot of jazz/gospel/r&b and that's been my main foundation. I started studying Bach/Chopin this year and one of the main things that's helped with for me is bass lines that really mesh with the voice leading and melody, just in a slightly different way than I've been accustomed to think about it. It's actually closer to a lot of the gospel movements than jazz, especially with the inversions being used for passing chords. Anyway, keep it up man you're killin it.

[@ZacBarnesMusic]

The intro haha love the excitement!! 🔥🔥

[@tinotaylor]

Bro wtf. The levels 🔥🔥🔥 Love the groove

[@jastinartis]

Them drums and keys hit for me. But the bass sound is nice too. I'm a musician and 🎸 is my instrument. This was fun and got me thinking deeply about what happening when we play. I think I'll put your class on my list. 🫡💪🏾🙌🏾

[@rbbeatz5591]

As a bassist, I start most of my production with the bass line. When you learn how to lock in with drummer/kick…. 😩. Bass is the foundation of what every other instrument sits on. Now when it come to chill hop vibes …man….it’s so much you can do with a bass line, especially coming from a church background 😅 IYKYK

[@Yhuntermusic]

Aye facts fr fr! Thanks for tapping in!

[@jjbing3]

You make the bassline before the drums?? Beast!! 🙌🏾

[@rbbeatz5591]

@@jjbing3 yessir, sometimes. Playing Bass all the time, I usually come up with bass lines and then build drums around(making sure the kick and bass are 🔐). I also come up with melodies, chords progression, etc using my bass. I just transfer melodies, chords, and other ideas over to the keys and other instruments in my arrangement 🎸🎻 🎷 🎺. People have no idea how important Bass is in music.They think 808 is all it is to it, but it’s much more bigger than that.

Keep it relatively simple at first and don't try to overburden yourself. Once you start from that point it may start to become easier. I have trouble with basslines but sometimes just cheat and play around with octave basslines with some extra stuff thrown in.

I think time feel is another thing that kind of gets lost when making basslines. There's a pocket and often times sitting behind the beat can make your bassline have a little more sauce.
