As a bass player you're not going to be using chords in every song you play (and if you do, you might get the sack!)...
But still, learning how to play chords on the bass is an absolute must if you want to develop your musicianship.
As bass players, we outline the chords using linear lines... but how the heck are you going to be able to outline the chords if you don't know what they sound like?!
That's how important this skill is.
Can you guess what this lesson is all about yet? ;)
Ok, ok...
In this lesson you're going to learn all the bass chords you'll ever need... in less that 15 minutes.
And on top of that, to learn 'all the chords you'll ever need' you're only going to have to learn a handful of shapes.

Scott interviews so many bass legends almost forgetting he’s a legend himself. Never stop playing Scott, you’re one of my favorite bass players!

@brandonmiles8174 5 лет назад

What a great video. I've been playing bass for almost 19 years, and I never had any formal training. I'm getting to a point in my life where, I'm really starting to get seriously in tune with the nuances of playing music correctly, or at least following some type of form. I never realized understood what made a note a 7th or a 5th, until right this very second. That wasn't even what you were teaching, but the way in which you were explaining your lesson, made it unmistakable to understand what you were saying. I've really been watching your videos and enjoying them, and think I'm going to take my first formal 'music lesson' on your website. Thanks again.

Chords on Bass is one of my Favorite Topics. I mess with this all the time. And for you all wondering about the plucking hand, Just use your thumb to pluck the Root Note either on the E, or A string, And then use your Index and Middle Fingers to pluck the D and G strings for your Color Notes. If you have a 5-String with a Low B, you can use that as a Root Note as well. And if you have a 6-String Bass with a High C, then you have an extra Color Note. And you would just use your Ring Finger of the Plucking Hand on the C String. That's my Formula anyway. Hope this Helps.

@TapaniVaahervaara 5 лет назад

Great lesson again! Although I'm a music (bass) teacher myself, I get good ideas from these great lessons of Scott. Thank you! This time on one chord I would like to share my idea. I'm usually using the same shape for m7b5 as I'm using for m7 (the one Scott just showed), if its tonal function is either the VII of major or II of minor, because in those cases the ear is able to imagine the sound of flat 5th. (Cm7b5 = Cm7 = C, Eb, Bb.) If its tonal function is something else, for example II to IV in major, I prefer the one shown here. (Cm7b5 = C, Gb and Bb.) Example 1: in Bb minor | Cm7b5 | F7 | Bbm My choice for fingering Cm7b5 would be: C, Eb, Bb Example 2: in F major | Cm7b5 | F7 | BbMaj7 My choice for fingering Cm7b5 would be: C, Gb, Bb This is just a question of taste. One loves daughter, the other one loves mother. I'm not telling which one I love... ;)

These types of lesson always breakdown the how which is great but what about the when? Obviously you need to know the chord tones to play a bass line over the top but where might you actually play the chords as you are here? Some examples of different styles where this fits would be good.

@GregsBassShed 4 года назад

Ben Thurley good point well made. Chords can sound great in sparse sections of songs or when the guitarist/keyboard is soloing. There is then a big space to fill.

@jaredarm 4 года назад

I've been wondering this as well. Watching this video of his helped somewhat. So if you know the chord progression, you have the chords within each to play around with. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ib8vGsLC6WE.html

@@jaredarm I agree to ur point Jared...it means that Greg and Ben didn't really pay much of attention. sorry to say that, but scott's explanation was very elementally simple with out any other example. And maybe yes an example would have help if you didn't understood the use of the chords. exmaple : with my private teacher i've learn all about the mayor and minor chords. but i was asking my self, we the bassist we don't play chords, we play low notes. But with this explanation from scott, i realize the use of the chords on bass. Because it wasn't explain to me that easy and fast way. with this tutorial, it takes me to the next level of learning bass. No example needed !!....it was too clear !! Sorry Greg n Ben !

This is an awesome lesson. Does anyone know if the same system can be applied in minor keys except reverse? For instance, the i and iv are minor 7th chords, the II, III, and VI are major 7th chords, and then a major viii flat 5 and a dominant 7 for the v?

@charlesbassiste 5 лет назад

Great video, but just for more clarity when it comes to reading music sheets, I think you should have gone through all the different ways of writing the chords, like minor 7 can be written: Cm7 or C-7, C major could be : C^7 or CMaj7, And C°7 can be written C ° with a line across the circle. (Half diminished) And so on... But thanks Scott, great job!

@jorge.rubiales 5 лет назад

Actually, Cº7 is a diminished triad with a diminished seventh. C with a line across the circle would be a diminished triad with a minor seventh, known as half-diminished chord.

@slapmyfunkybass 5 лет назад

Coming from a piano background, the other chord type is augmented (maj, min, dim and aug). The diminished seventh and half diminished are just variations of the seventh note of the diminished chord. The reason a diminished seventh is a B double flat (in the key of C) and not A is because the B is the seventh. This stems from Classical music and their belief all harmony is made up of odd numbers. It is best to view the note as a double flat (Bbb) as technically that is the seventh. Still, a great video and really helpful.

@MaggaraMarine 5 лет назад

But the thing is, Cdim7 is not actually used much in music. It's more likely that a chord symbol written as Cdim7 will actually have an A in it instead of a Bbb. That's because Cdim7, D#dim7, F#dim7 and Adim7 are all inversions of each other. Cdim7 just means that the bass note is C, but usually it's actually something like D#dim7/C, Adim7/C or F#dim7/C in the way it's functioning, unless it is the VIIdim7 chord in the key of Db. And this is why writing it as an A is really not a mistake. It just isn't the actual "7th" of the chord - it is actually the root of the chord (if the notes are C Eb Gb and A, the chord is actually an Adim7 with C as the bass note). Then again, diminished chords are symmetrical, so they really don't really have actual roots, thirds, fifths or sevenths in them...

@lynnturman8157 5 лет назад

Hey Scott, can you do one on what to do with your thumb on the plucking hand? One of the things I'm trying to fix is that I always played with my thumb planted on the pick guard. Which isn't good because it allows open strings to ring & also inhibits facility & fluidity on the higher strings. I've noticed that when you pluck the higher strings, your thumb travels with your fingers.

for the initial explanation of C diminished (the little degree sign) it was G flat with b flat flat/A. The second time around during the open chord section it was explained as E flat A and C. is there a mistake or am i missing something. I see a 7 missing between the two, the notation above the little 0. maybe in a simple way. the first c diminished was C,Gflat,A, then later in the video it was presented as c diminished 7 C,E Flat, A

I completely understand you with the double flat notes. I've gotten 0 points for a chord in a music test, because I just form the chords on the piano in my head and didn't think about having to write Abb instead of G. What bass is that? I really like that wood grain on it. Sounds great too.

@raphaelbeinhauer9242 5 лет назад

@@joninawhitecoat Thanks.

@MaggaraMarine 5 лет назад

I think that's kind of stupid, since nobody actually uses Abb in music. What key is that in? It could be the b6 scale degree in the key of Cb, the b2 scale degree in the key of Gb or the b5 scale degree in the key of Db. And even then the transcriber might decide to just call it a G natural for the sake of simplicity. When you see a chord symbol like Bbdim7, it usually actually functions as an inversion of C#dim7, Edim7 or Gdim7, but for the sake of simplicity, the chord symbol says Bbdim7 because it's the same notes and the bass note is Bb. That looks simpler than saying Edim7/Bb, and both convey basically the same message. In other words, the transcriber is not actually asking you to play an Abb. Whether double flats should be used has a lot more to do with voice leading than anything else. So I think it's quite stupid that you would get 0 points when the chord was technically 100% correct. And I'm a theory teacher.

@raphaelbeinhauer9242 5 лет назад

@@MaggaraMarine Yes, I agree. I don't remember the key, I think it was just a chord we were supposed to form without any context. I'm not even sure if my example notes were correct, I will see if I can find the test, it was about a year ago.

@raphaelbeinhauer9242 5 лет назад

@@MaggaraMarine I couldn't find that particular test, but I did find one test where I got 0 of ten points for writing H (I live in Germany, B for you) as the b5 in Fm7b5 instead of Cb. If it was the Chord name, I could understand it having to fit in the scale, but I was just supposed to show that I know which notes that chord includes, which of course I did.
