[@rogerdshrubber6557]

Excellent. I suppose you kay want to talk about how to navigate a live jam with the progression. Like knowing where it will lead.

[@ebassguitar]

Sure - there’s loads more which can be done with such a simple concept :-)

[@Kittygacha_playz]

Hi. Great lesson. One of my favourite basslines comes from a song called "Dream on Dreamer" by the Brand New Heavies. If you can, please show us how that bassline is played. Thanks again. Keep up the good work.

Well stick it on the list!

[@poolypiraterecords5740]

This the 2nd of your bass lessons I've watched and I'm over the moon again, you are an amazing teacher, you teach us what we need to know in order to advance as bass players, rather than just teach us a certain bassline or technique. Thanks again!!!

[@ebassguitar]

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you like my teaching style; do stay tune for more content from the channel :)

[@Rollingstone1958]

Heroes David Bowie is my all time favourite

[@MuRpHyKn0t]

Favorite "pop" song is Total Eclipse of the Heart. Nothing to do with the bass on it. I just always enjoy the song.

[@ebassguitar]

Brilliant song!

[@davidmonroe7618]

Great lesson James. Thanks. One question: using the chord progression C-G-A-F, when you play the A note at 5th position on the E string, shouldn't the next note be C# at the 9th position rather than C? That is then followed by E at 7th fret on the A string.

[@ebassguitar]

The chord is a Am and c is the minor 3rd of that chord

[@alfredhabia9606]

Last part is really amazing so could you slow it down and play bit by bit for me please

[@ebassguitar]

Hey Alfred. You should be able to slow down the video on YT. This should help you get the last part down. Glad to know you like the lesson! :)

[@Lee-yo2op]

Great lesson, im a brand new bass player only had few lessons i get it all upto, 11.34 then you completly go different to what you have shown and as all you teachers seem to do is start to show how good you are can you please explain where these extra notes come from when you havnt even shown them or why the changes happen

[@ebassguitar]

Hi Lee, thanks for the kind words. At the end of the lesson I’m showing you where these basic ideas can go and some of the ideas that can be derived from G major scale. Hope that helps James

[@jamesolson468]

How about some songs from my time frame -- the 1950 and 1960s? Does this sequence exist in any songs from then? Thanks.

[@ebassguitar]

Absolutely!

[@yoandeblois385]

My favorite song although I don't think it qualifies as pop is i will survive by Cake.

[@ebassguitar]

Thanks for sharing that, cheers!

[@franklinreeves8262]

Hello. I am a beginner bass player and do enjoy you’re videos. The only question I have is why do you keep saying the cords are C, G, Am,and F while showing the tablature as C, G, A, and F? Should the tab for Am on the D string be the 6th fret? Just wondering. Thank you.

[@jimmieshives6863]

It sounds like old Memphis Soul Thank You I keep watching Thanks

[@ebassguitar]

Brilliant... it works across so many genres :-)

[@lionelkirbyshire7683]

Will do!

[@SurfandSand808]

Feels like this is the only KZbin channel that teaches bass and actually plays bass lines and not solos.

[@ebassguitar]

Happy to help, Anson!

[@jobair46]

Brother ..chord- root means 1,6,4,5 pl tell this series chords ..? I follow this series from ur another video

[@peterbridge7940]

Apologies if this has asked before and i have very limited knowledge but in C major where does the Am come from 🤔 I can see that it is the 6 note of the scale of C but why does it sound sooooo good? Also, anywhere on the net and I would play a in progression like this whereas guitar, keys etc play A minor in the songs you mentioned which use these for chords.. I mean how come Am occurs so frequently rather that Dm or Bm as D and B are also in the C major scale . This could be a sleepless nights 😬 Brilliant lessons and you have a great way of presenting the sessions

[@MyVantasticLifeVoyage]

I think you are confusing the C Major scale and chords in the key of C, of which there are three minor chords, Am, Dm and Em.. hope that helps .

[@peterbridge7940]

Many thanks and I was definitely confusing myself and I had no idea that there were "chords" in the key of C (or any key) and I assumed there were only notes in the scale and that is something I need to read up on. So much to learn and so little time😂 So now I understand where Am related to VI comes from. Does Am related to A occur more often than Dm or Bm for example in songs?

[@Kyomeimei]

My favourite Pop Song is Affirmation-Savage Garden. 🤔 But I think this is not a classic bass Player song. There are many bass synthesizers and drum machines in the song.

[@ebassguitar]

Doesn’t matter - it’s all valid!

[@victoriakielborn6140]

How do I access the PDF?

[@ebassguitar]

The link is in the description of the video Victoria!

[@peterbridge7940]

To answer your question, I don't have a favourite "pop song" but a track from back in the day is "the kids are alright" by The Who 🎸

[@bpky]

Bryan Adams Inside Out

[@ebassguitar]

Nice!

[@joannmannello9158]

so u just add fills into the chords?

[@ebassguitar]

Yes that’s the next stage once you understand how the chord sequences work

[@debraking2333]

Billie jean

[@ebassguitar]

That is a great song! Thanks for sharing!

[@kingstumble]

If you switch the order of the chords to C Am F G7 hundreds of more songs are there to be played.

[@ErixSamson]

Not sure if it qualifies as "pop" songs but most Level 42 songs are really great !

[@ebassguitar]

Certain eras of level 42 are definitely pop!

[@shooz4unme]

Explain

[@ebassguitar]

Is that a song?

[@shooz4unme]

@@ebassguitar No. 11:48 onwards, you’re improvising. What notes are you playing and I’ve notice there’s rhythm changes different from the ones you began with. This is what I meant by explain

[@akshaypattabi7196]

Jeez no need to be so rude when asking someone to help you out.

[@shooz4unme]

@@akshaypattabi7196 Wasn’t asking you. It’s rude to ...TROLL!!

[@ebassguitar]

It’s helpful if you’re more specific with your questions ;-) What’ll be doing is pulling on my arsenal of licks from the past 20 years... a lot of that will be passing notes and approach notes and major pentatonic of this chord sequence
