Learn the major scale on the entire neck and the relative minor places on the neck in the major scale And you’re done

[@khankann]

@@nickfanzo oh, these exercises are really good!

[@jazzman1954]

@@nickfanzo Good advice, but not done. 😊 Diminished, Augmented, Whole tone. And there’s Altered. You never are done if you want to explore what music is made of. However it’s overwhelming if you try stuff that is two steps ahead of where you are.

[@TheMaartian]

Good tutorial, Tatiana. I've been playing music since 1959, starting on the piano. I've learned several different instruments since then, but I've never played a double bass. Playing one just slightly ahead of the beat due to the string length makes perfect sense. I may be 73, but it nice to be reminded that I still have much to learn. Thanks!

[@khankann]

@@TheMaartian thank you for sharing your thoughts! I wish I could play [well] on more instruments!

[@Dave-nt3kz]

Very nice explanation. It's nice to see someone putting emphasis on the use of chord tones, and chromatics. It works well for improvising, and ad-libbing, too. A metronome is a fantastic tool. It is relentless, and waits for no one.

[@khankann]

@@Dave-nt3kz thank you! Yes, the metronome is irreplaceable! However, it might be difficult to get used to practicing with it, and here the support from the other musicians means a lot!

[@trianglerecords]

Thank you for this tutorial Tatiana. Above all, it makes it clear that musical theory is very important to know which notes are in the chord and in the key of the piece. The beginner will know that it is essential to play relax.

[@khankann]

@@trianglerecords thank you for your comment! I hope people won’t feel too overwhelmed with all of this! 😅❤️

[@trianglerecords]

@@khankann In my artistic life, I had a bit of a Beatles approach: no music theory until I needed it and since then it has opened giant doors in creativity.

[@jazzman1954]

I would say that the first note should usually be the root (as Tatiana says) but occasionally it a good idea to use the third on beat 1 and maybe hit the root on beat 2. Alternatively hit the fifth on beat one etc. It’s not a good idea to do this too often but it really makes your line more interesting. However, get the root note thing right first then start to look at the other options. Listen to the great upright players (like Ray Brown for example) who are masters of this technique.

[@khankann]

@@jazzman1954 I agree! 100%!

[@Dave-Rough-Diamond-Dunn]

When I was a teenager starting out singing in a band with guys 10 to 15 years older than me, we had two bass players named Mick Turner in the band at different times (!!!) and one used to go for a walk and take a long time to get back. We needed a search party! It was so hard to follow where he was in the progression if I didn't pay strict attention during lead breaks because it just wasn't clear which were the root notes. Often, he wouldn't actually play the root note at a chord change anyway. Very Jazz influenced Blues Player, very oldschool. This just reminds me of those times in the late 80s, but I'm playing bass now, so maybe I'll go for a walk! Great lesson, thanks!

[@khankann]

@@Dave-Rough-Diamond-Dunn we all need to go for a walk sometimes! Thank you for the story! ☺️

By the way - wouldn`t the simplest answer to "what is a walking bass?" have been: it sounds like a person that is walking...; as the late SRV had once told us about the shuffle : "It all comes from people moving around, that is what rhythm is about."
