Using triads to create bass Lines - Lesson with Scott Devine (L#57)

[@justinjohnstone6526]

Goodness! As a person who just started playing bass(2 weeks) this lesson has helped me understand some of the music theory behind the instrument so much. This lesson has been by far the most useful and easiest to follow. Thank you for posting!

[@Griffonbass]

Hey Scott, Thank you so much. I have started back playing after 35 years and I have really been blessed with your lessons. I hope to one day to be able to share the knowledge I have as you are currently doing. Please keep up the great work and lessons.

[@WollyChaps]

I started out as a guitarist and a singer that branched out into the rest of your 'pop band' selection of instruments. I haven't found a resource for drums or keyboards like your stuff on KZbin, Scott. I never thought I could really play anything more than just roots on bass because I've got relatively small hands, but your lessons have helped me get around a bit more than I could. Thanks so very much.

[@mhia4]

Roots thirds and fifths. I'm a rookie bassist, mildly ok guitarist but I started playing bass for a folk group my wife and daughter belong to. Like I said I don't have much experience but using this method I've been able to create bass lines for just about everything that comes my way. Throw in an octave for the fifth every once in a while to mix it up. If you're a rookie like me the first thing you need to do is learn the fret board. It takes a minute but trust me, it makes the rest so much easier.

[@RachidManou]

Merci pour cette belle leçon. Les triades sont importantes dans la musique.

[@frankiemonroe]

He's great. SO cool, informative and thorough, and so easy to follow! NOT all instructors are! Thanx so much, Scott!

[@justkaren6449]

Wow, I have finally clicked and am "starting" to understand the use of triads. I have been so confused up to now. Thank you.

[@giulhanch3891]

I'm an electronic music producer scott! If find your tutorial very soft on the mind. So to that i say it was very good the way you tutored us with a human feeling rather than throwing a textbook at our heads, a hehe have a nice one Scott :]

[@twportre]

"octave , 5th, root" ... Gotta love this guy. Not only does this man takes his hard earned time and well swallowed experience to the net.. He shares it to EVERYONE without a cost. Those 3 dislikes can kiss it

[@victorvoronkov6788]

Didn't know PsychedSubstance plays bass, that's pretty dope

[@treehousetoker]

so thankful for all you do and the articulate manner in which you deliver information. I have come a long way using your lessons. thank you!!!!

[@doyrayburn2668]

Best damn lesson yet. I know some people really click with approaching theory from the top line melody perspective, but for me aproaching it from the bass side is really helping me. And I learned to read music in high school. Reading music in no way helps with composing, jamming, etc. Ya have to be able to connect the dots.

[@adamolson9397]

Something else you can throw in that is very simple is the octaves of the 3rd and 5th as well, which would be low E (open E string) and low G (third fret on E string). All the sudden you have 6 notes to use off the simple triad in one finger position.

[@rjmdrum]

Easily among the best of all bass instruction sites I have come across. Thanks for posting .

[@MrSlinksville]

top teacher,i feel like my bass brain has just been given the kiss of life..cheers scott

[@Sorenseidelin]

Thanks. I Need to watch the clip again just to understand it full out, because there is so many important things getting told. Thanks Scott.

[@xXNewfie709Xx]

Keep the lessons coming Scott! I just recently got into playing bass and with your lessons I'm already seeing a difference in my play level in just a few weeks. Thanks again!

[@androothemandrew]

Found this on reddit post, you helped me learn bass. Thank you for the gold kind stranger

[@Griffonbass]

Great lesson, I just revisited this lesson after about a year and Brother, I hope I get a chance to meet you and shake your hand or buy you a pint. I am so grateful that you decided to share your knowledge!!!

[@devinebass]

@AlexAfolabiBass Cheers mate glad you liked it! S

[@crisjaen1833]

ive been watching your videos for some time now and i must say you are SO HELPFUL. Thanks so much.

[@ayzee12]

Superb lesson!! From 9:48 on was absolutely key for me.

[@ZuluFireTrauma]

Wow, your website has a really nice way of guiding beginners. I like the 'lessons map' section. Thanks so much, Scott!

[@greadore]

Great video! Easy to understand and follow for a complete beginner.

[@MrAdamubeast]

I swear your the best bass teacher on KZbin bro!

[@waidada]

3rd and 5th~ I wish I land on your video from day one, that would save me a lot of time! I also really like how you are so in to teaching us out here and how engaging you are, I feel like I am sitting right across from you learning. Thank you so much!! (2/2)

[@albertoramiroruiz4999]

This is an awesome video. I'm originally a drummer, so I picked up the rhythm aspect of the instrument rather quickly. However, it was making these bass lines that had me confused, but this explained it really well. Gracias.

[@Zaboopadoop]

fantastic video, i am just starting to play bass and i understood almost everything... thank you very much!

[@brianjomansenstinesmith5132]

You always do a great job. As a bass player I always love a bass player who knows who James Jamerson is. It shows.

[@1978joylove]

I wish this resource had been around when I played bass as a teenager! This is gold! I learned so many basslines when I was young but I had no idea why they sounded good, and when I tried to come up with my own they were either crap or it would take me an absolute age of trial and error to come up with anything decent.

[@OurBrainHurtsALot]

That's when music theory comes in handy.

[@omaralaa11]

you're an awesome human being for uploading these videos .. bless you

[@travislilly1250]

10 years later, and this video still helping people

[@ookete]

I've just started watching your videos as a beginning bass player. I really enjoy yours because you are teaching music theory along with the bass. I look forward to knowing how to create my own riffs instead of learning them from some tired "riff recipe book" that I see with other youtube channels.

[@alex_afolabi]

Another great lesson Scott! You're an excellent teacher!

[@henrydurham3439]

That was a good explanation in reference to triads.

[@waidada]

wow~~ thank you so much for the lesson! I've been doing root, 8th for the longest time (and really that's what our worshp band really need for simple comtemporary worship music). Nobody ever give me an lesson and when I see other bassist who can fill in and do walking bass line and all that, I REALLY want to learn it. I saw many youtube video and they are either assuming I know what it is or they just show you what they do without explaining. It took me awhile to figure out dude, that's(1/2)

[@MichaelSimmons.]

Great advice Scott. I've already started using more triads, they sound great. Thanks.

[@thruthewall]

nice matching gloves and tee ;) Great lesson, vital for any bass player thats unaware of triads!!

[@DidsGaming]

Excellent Excellent Very easy to understand Thank you Thank you

[@alanbruce1061]

Another great lesson Scott

[@seinsollen]

Good morning from Japan. I always learn a lot through your lesson and found another great lesson here, Thanx. Don't you have any plans to make video lessons about EQ. Now I am struggling with a question "how I can create my own sounds?" I would like you to show us some examples, how to create typical jazz, blues, pop, and rock sounds etc... I know it is not all about EQ, but I need your advice. Cheers.

[@dannephi1013]

You really are a great teacher

[@TheChampinon]

Thanks a lot for this lesson man!! :) kudos from mexico

[@anonymousforensic]

Move the triad shape to the G when the guitarist changes chords. Try to look at where the shapes overlap and walk over those notes during the transition for a more complex line. Throw in some chromatic approach notes for another level of complexity. :)

[@seonghyunyoon4690]

it was really amazing and easy to understand

[@jefferysolomon2946]

nice

[@ddccaatt]

As always another great lesson

[@alexchestniy]

[@viper7159]

[@leftyrncii980]

Great lesson Scott. Do you have a lesson on the Major and minor 7th triads? I need to fake my way through a jazz gig and am stumped. Thanks.

[@23chopperrob]

[@hardboiled2000]

ace man, really good teacher

[@NineAboveZero]

Hi, They are in the tab "Store", last one on the top right

[@jdb123ize]

@devinebass you are a great teacher scott, why do u play with gloves, is it easier do your fingers slip off the strings

[@JulioEnoc]

Great Videos. Isn´t it necesary that we sing triads and intervals before playing to make sure you have the basic notes from the scale in your mind ?

[@duybuiduc6740]

Hướng dẫn tuyệt vời Bass,Scott!

[@caribstarz]

Your the man. When you teach, I understand o.o!

[@travisguide4516]

I feel so bad Scott has a cold here and still keeps his spirits up and teaches well

[@salladspojk]

[@sigitherlambang2526]

thanks man! You're a great teacher. By the way can you give me link to buy those gloves.

[@drivera318]

You're the best man thank you so much!

[@unmaruhoi]

I'm trying to learn root position triads and first inversion triads. Can they also fit into this pattern? Second inversions are far away for me at the moment. From watching you video instructions I bought a Jaco Pastorius instruction book.

[@davidelanggo4704]

thank you so much bro scott.

[@DA-bd8xz]

excellent lesson!

[@YourFurthestReaches]

You're awesome man, thanks!

[@jarrodhroberson]

What kind of desk is that? I have that same keyboard and am looking for a desk solution like what you have!

[@will30x]

[@ivanferrerandino7461]

[@mikkelfreessteensen5327]

nice job!!

[@TommyLuptak]

Hi Scotty! I'm a teacher of mostly math, but I have also been a guitar teacher. Very nice explanations of Triads. Is that a swamp ash body? Also is that Jazz Bass a Suhr? Take care man! \m/

[@sirgamaliel2329]

great video:)informative.

[@markrodgers2976]

"Ok. So what the heck do we do with that ??" LOL!!!!!

[@subliminaki]

You're very good man

[@cavebillyguitarpicks]

[@ChristianEse1]

F....... great!!! Many many thanks

[@JeremyFernand]

Brilliant! thanks a lot! Help tons!

[@squeezemypimple]

Excellent!..Thank You

[@RaptaProduction]

so the triads work for any note as long as you know if it major or minor tells you which triad to use?

[@veanie124]

do you have videos for more experienced people?
