Top 10 Bass Arpeggio Shapes You MUST Know! - Online Bass Lessons

[@yakultvc7192]

If ya guys can see that the bass has no dots, you probrably can see the FINGERS and countdown the frets... Such a amazing lesson for free

[@zenzenzen4741]

The intonation on the Streamer is pretty fantastic!!

[@olymoon2008]

Thank you Mark fr this lesson. What you say at 5:57 about the relation between notes into an arpeggio is not only useful to understand the arpeggio as itself, but to move easier from one chord to another thanks to these relation and eventual common parts/intervals into chords. Thank you again for opening my mind about this.

[@jimdiskin3760]

wow, considering myself a member of the playing community, i am surprised and embarrassed by all the whining and negativity in the comments. this is a really concise and useful free lesson. mark, i hope you can just shake it off and laugh.thank you for this lesson.

[@LowEndUniversity]

Thank you so much, Jim!

[@frits1463]

Good thing you took a 4 string for this lesson. A bass with dots would also be helpfull for the viewer.

[@LowEndUniversity]

Check the video description for a free download of the transcription for this lesson! All arpeggios tabbed out and labeled. Hope that helps!

Professor! Thank you for the lessons.

[@ianflurrance8438]

Great stuff Mark! Love having more stuff on KZbin, so I can share it with people and bring them over to the site!

[@thezoorecords4166]

Thanks for this Video man, great job and you speak very clear and slow enough to comprehed

[@LowEndUniversity]

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@VillageChurchDyer]

It would be very helpful to show the fret numbeers when you're doing a particular arpeggio

[@bestsunday1090]

This is the best appegio bass lesson so far ve ever seen, thanks for that information

[@joekrim6557]

I found 1st 2nd and 4th finger triads with the octave in the correct key gets me through most songs. Mixolydian scale helps you through a lot of pop music.

[@LowEndUniversity]

Exactly! Mixolydian is pretty much always suitable for blues songs too.

[@chris.scott510]

Great lesson. These were way harder than they look

[@fredpearson5204]

Mark, for someone who JUST picked up a bass for the first time, what lessons do you recommend they do FIRST?

[@psilocybe_reptiliensis]

USE THE METRONOME, please. do this favor to yourself since early. I didn't. because of that i needed to start beginner drum lessons ( it was very very cool and fun too!)

[@kodykindhart8230]

Count time and feel it. And yes use a metronome but feel is more important you can’t learn to feel any bpm as long as you can groove ya dig?? 😛

[@JCloyd-ys1fm]

Lots of good advice! Thx!

My go to arpeggio for a little something different is the augmented

[@druskfa3117]

It's more difficult to learn, because your bass have not dots.

[@charlescowan6121]

Dig that warwick rockbass streamer!

[@LowEndUniversity]

Hey, thanks Charles! I really regret letting this one go. It was a custom-built Streamer from Germany!

[@charlescowan6121]

@LowEndUniversity Oh that's a major bummer! I haveca $$ 4 string atm. I'm thinking seriously about picking one of those streamers up.

[@jestoniaboy7437]

That was good sir.. But I suggest you use the bass which has dot in the fretboard so we can see clearly.. Thank you

[@ultimatu2130]

Hey Mark, I have a question. I'm looking to save up for and design a thumb bass like what you play and I was wondering about how much they cost. I was trying to find a price tag for a 6 string Thumb NT for about an hour earlier today and found nothing on the Warwick site.

[@ToshirokArai]

Very helpful1

[@jmoosic]

[@LowEndUniversity]

Whoops!

[@jmoosic]

@@LowEndUniversity I'm guessing you all teach online....what's your prices

[@adweitzsacker]

I have to agree that having no visible dots made it difficult to track the playing. An additional camera angle from above could be useful. The tone is clear, which is a definite plus. Some other such lessons don't pick up half the sound. I noticed tone and volume first, then realized there were no reference markers.

[@RasherQuivers]

I do not understand dominant chords or arpeggios. When do we use them? Over what chords? Could you give me an example of a song that I could use a dominant chord or arpeggio in. In order to retain this information, I need a practical use to apply it to.

[@8bitheroes86]

You would use a dominant arpeggio over a dominant chord. So say the progression was ii V I in C major you could play G dominant arpeggio over the V chord (G7).

[@aarondavis4341]

Rasher Quivers the more i actually learn what im doing the more confused i get,almost to s point of feeling hopeless and giving bass up after 20 years,then i pick it up and just play it and everythings fine,

[@andrewhigdon8346]

Aaron Davis same same here. 20+ yrs and my open string tune was fine but down the neck would be “off” but I didn’t even understand it at the time. I recently realized that I am so dependent on intervals that I would ALWAYS be off a bit because my intonation was off. I absorbed intervals without realizing it from being coerced into singing the hymns in Southern Baptist Churches. I would figure out the song mid neck, and then drop to the octave the bass was playing and everything would fall apart. Getting my intonation correct and “setting up” my bass demonstrated to me why even as a beginner certain basses(usually expensive boutique) made me feel like a real bass player. All of a sudden the notes would fall into place. Then some others were maddening. Never realized it wasn’t me on a lousy bass, it was the bass throwing me, and then with a nice bass I felt like a champ but it was a professionally set up instrument. Now mine is right and things are flowing. Point is that arpeggios are like a non thought, but I couldn’t repeat verbally what notes or scale or chord I played without figuring it out step-by-step.

[@andrewhigdon8346]

Sorry guys went on a tangent but point is dots shouldn’t matter and an expensive bass isn’t mandatory but a well set up one is. Get your ear trained. Obviously easier said than done but all other exercises are for not if your A1 is correct but your A3 is several cents off. That simply means that everything in between is wrong. Took me 20 yrs of self taught ignorance and then a revelation about a year ago and my ability has taken an exponential curve.

[@denbotrexwell]

@@andrewhigdon8346 Strangely, this made a lot of sense.

[@Peter_B]

Is that bassneck bowed, or is it due to the camera? ;-)

[@hbn782]

[@boshrek4759]

If your going to teach “beginners” us “beginner” need the dots man!! Graphics on the top right would have been nice to. But thumbs up 👍🏾

[@LowEndUniversity]

Absolutely! These are some of our earlier lessons, and I've since started using a different bass on the content. This switch happened a few years ago! Thanks for watching!

[@eshaman3334]

Bo Shrek dots👎

[@thebigempty_5792]

Ironically, most of the brothers that would say, We IS going to the park....can also make a lot of wrong notes sound amazingly correct on the bass. :D

[@sortofcool540]

Great lesson. I thought you had to have a English accent to teach bass on the web. Guess I was wrong.

[@LowEndUniversity]

[@jaxsaints1080]

I wish you put the notes on the screen! This does not help and you can’t tell which fret he’s using because his finger blocked them!

[@LowEndUniversity]

Good thing there's a link to view the tablature and notation in the video description! ; )

[@palmerioism]

No expectation for N

[@aarondavis4341]

Something NO INE EVER mentions when they start talking about learning notes is the nites change with tuning we all learn tge notes as theyd be in Standard E tuning,but the notes slide with the tuning,so if your tuned to D ,the the firts fret isnt F,your F note would either be on fret 3or 4, sorry,dude said something about learning notes and it pisses me off no on ever mentions actually how tunings work,theres a video in itself just teaching that

[@gnpahdc]

Suggestion to improve your teaching.... Posting to youtube touches a wide audience, and you do not know the level of each player watching. Assume that some (you mentioned beginners, for example) will be greatly helped by an instrument with position markers (dots, blocks, etc) in their standard locations. You are obviously fairly far along in your playing. All learners are not the same. Lastly, slow down a bit in terms of your method of presenting the material. SUPER CONTENT. :)

[@LowEndUniversity]

I appreciate the feedback! I actually took note of this early on (these videos are a couple years old) and used a different bass from then on forward with very large fret markers. These videos are also a bit out of context when they're on KZbin, as they come from a more outlined, full course of content on our website where I explain other basics that precede the content of this video. Thanks for watching!

[@gnpahdc]

This was the very first one I watched. You have my respect.

[@ljpagbe]

As a beginner, dots are very very very useful to avoid getting lost on fretboard. Moreover it’s difficult to follow you. Sorry.
