Chord Tones, Scales and Chromatics For Bass

[@Rey_eo]

By far the best video about the fundamentals of bassline composing on KZbin. As a self-taught bassist this channel is like treasure to me.

[@RCLIFTOFF]

Dude! I've been self taught for a long time now and just from watching a few of your videos I've become so enlightened.

[@Bacchus_Now]

I've been playing for a while and never understood this stuff always just play by ear or tabs. This made so much sense and brought it all together. Thank you!

[@putridcorpse972]

This channel is a gold mine, best bass teacher on KZbin

[@chrisburge9718]

My kids got me a bass last Christmas so I have been reading books and watching a lot of you tube videos trying to learn as much as I can. I have learned a lot up to this point but this video is the GLUE that holds everything that I have learned together. This ties everything that I know together and gives a reason for it all. You are the man.

[@matchergui766]

have learn more in one video than in two years with my professor, thanks to you !!

[@csmrfx]

Great video! If one was to watch just one bass-video, *this* is it!!!

[@hamkaab3634]

Casimir P i agree 100% with you

[@KerryonBass]

Brilliantly explained. Thank you so much! As I've been applying more ghost notes and rhythmic interest to my playing I've realized that I could play almost any note in any song provided I generally resolved on a chord tone and now I know why.

[@Wanna_Be_Desu]

This is the lesson that clicked everything in place for me. I ve heard some of the things here and there before, but it was always a bit disjointed. This lesson builds it from the ground up very clearly, I finally understand where all things fit and why to learn them. Thank you so much!

[@pietrocaltabiano5544]

Best lesson ever, not only bass related, best lesson of my life, so clear so well explained. "If you cannot teach it to a 6 years old kid then you did not understand it"

[@michaellloyd3265]

At last a clear explanation of the difference between chord tones and arpeggios - You are the best on the net

[@pierpimpi]

You’re doing a really good job . Very clear, even if, not being a great bassist and not being English, I have to come back several times to listen again. So useful. Thanks

[@dopamining7621]

So incredibly useful/illuminating. Yet another of your lessons I`ll watch again and again. Many thanks !

[@sackvegas]

This was the best lesson I have ever watched. Well done.

[@TheMCcolorz]

Yours videos seriously help me understand this all. Been avoiding all of this information for a while because it seemed like so much but these videos really help

[@bigtardoin4007]

Great job of getting the points across Mark. Thank you.

[@grimmortal]

Most important video in your amazing channel. Bridges all the theory together beautifully. Thank you!

[@lorenzotosiart]

Another beautiful, simple yet super effective lesson! Thanks!!

[@fuadumarsalim618]

This lesson is eyeopening

[@hamkaab3634]

Thank you, explained in detail but easy to follow. Thanks again so much, sir!

[@RobertWadlow292]

Great lesson. Thanks Mark

[@marcelocoip7275]

Very very very usefull lesson, thanks Mark! Greetings from Argentina.

[@claudiotreviso1315]

You are great teacher! Right to the point!

[@coutureeurope891]

Very good lesson. Beginners get to be very happy today. Congratulation Mark ! This lesson make me think that next step of this lesson should be a series of lessons about CHORD FUNTIONS. and would be awesome if you make a Funtion dissection of any chords in the most important scales used. Mayor, minor , Armonic and melodic scales. To get a clear idea of which is the function of all those chords in the different scales would help a lot. Another group of lessons that would be great would be explaning about EXTENSIONS that works and the ones that does not work explaning why. I hope you time in any moment to work on those suggestions, the Bass guitar community will be grateful to you for ever ! thanks a lot Mark. You are the best.

[@timstubbs4827]

[@The_Mindful_Mototorcyclist]

At 21mins you are going from G to the C, but you don't explain this...is it uding the 5th? Thanks

[@jimmyslappadabass3779]

"When you speak, you dont just open your mouth and make random sounds and hope for the best" I do.... My ex wife is proof of that!! Ha Ha Ha

[@reflectionsofme]

whats the story on that green sr.... is that an sr300? or is that an older sr that i do not recognize? i myself use a sr 600 with a natural finish. What is that other pickup you added in the middle?

[@talkingbasslessons]

It's an SR1000. Bought it in about '92. They were really popular back then. It was my second bass after using a Westone Thunder Jet for a few years. There' s only 2 pickups. That's a ramp in the middle. Helps with 4 finger picking and gives a more even surface over a wider range.

[@reflectionsofme]

+TalkingBass - Online Bass Lessons man that is a beautiful bass. Also your lessons are the best on youtube.

[@nickgivent3157]
