Such a well presented tutorial. Also a great plug for music theory. I have been sliding by for years with ears alone and I know I will grow exponentially when I learn my scales proper. You were killing that bass line improv by the way Brother!
Def be sure to figure out (for the most part) the scales that are EXACTLY the same even in different keys lol!! I spent WAY too much time writing shit out (that's how I commit to memory best) just to realize I wrote like 40 scales that were all played the exact same way on a guitar... Same notes/frets and everything, just with dif root position
The way you explain things is absolutely brilliant I’ve wanted to know how to write baselines for years and you summed it all up in one video, you are a God send, we appreciate you.. your MIDI pack is amazing too. Keep up the great work bruv💯🙏🏾👊🏾
I love theory in my tutorials! I learn better that way. You won me over when you talked about formula. Many blessings to you for your assistance in my learning process!
Thanks Stefan, quick question - at 6:45, when leading down a semitone from a note above, what chords would you use in this scenario if you wanted something to accompany the bass? Some music I hear will use extended chords with their passing bass notes, but I never know which to use because it kind of leaves the main key you're in.
Great video man , preach it ! scales , scales scales ! Ive been playing a long time and all through the eighties could never afford tuition chord books and scale books were expensive items , working blind and muddling through kind of kills of any inspiration , but thank god for the internet ! this information is free!
Hi Stefan. Love watching your videos. There so insightful. Can you tell me wht are you using to make your audio come out in stereo in your videos please. Feel like I’ve tried everything and nothing is working. Mine comes out in mono smh. Please help…
Nice one Stefan, great tutorial as always! quick question, Do you ever find that some samples are harder to come up with a bass line for than others? I mean I know you're a music theory wizard, but personally, I struggle with this sometimes.
Thanks man! And 100%, especially if the sample already has a bassline. In those cases I’ll often try use EQ to filter out as much of the bass as possible. Even still, samples will often limit you in terms of what bass notes you can play if they have long chord progressions. The less chords it has the more freedom you have I’d say. That’s why I like going for simple samples that have 1 or 2 chords in them. Also, I’m not quite the music theory wizard yet, but i’m trying haha. Thank you man!
@@stefanguy My guy! Appreciate you! Is there anywhere we can hear your stuff - I had a little look last night but could only really find the educational videos - Would love to hear some of your finished projects!
dunno if this is long shot, but those reverse guitars are amazing. Do you mind sharing how you made that? or where the loop is from? Thank you for your work
Play the chords as you normally would. If you have any moving notes in the chord, be careful not to do too much too fast....you can add some verb if you like or a nice atmospheric sound adds to the flavor, but doesn't have to be used. Once you get a progression you like......apply reverse to it.....enjoy
My iZoptope plugins don’t work in Logic but work standalone. (RX8). U-he plugins work, native plugins work for the most part, I think I had issues with Raum and one or two others from Native. However i’ve been able to use those same effects via Guitar Rig. All my synth plugins work, Serum etc. Cable Guys plugins work. I haven’t loaded on any of my Waves plugins yet. Most plugins are supported through Rosetta 2 now. I don’t think any I own work natively yet which is a shame
Really dope ideas this videos is stellar. Little did you know the guy who produced Boo’d up is Rance 1500 who runs a music academy and tells his students to learn their scales all day everyday 🤣😂. Big ups tho I’m saving this video so I can keep coming back to it. 🙏🏽
Yo! My English brother. I am enjoying your r&b videos. But can you show us how to get to the change up in the song or bridge like in late 80s and early 90s r&b music
Appreciate the video Yah has used you have inspire to further my piano scales and my production skills & really dive into daily. I’’ve been dabbling for years Its all click now. Its been exciting feeling. LoVe Shalom Bro!
Bro I swear you are a mind reader...after u get the RnB chords obviously you need the base lines.....wish I could double sub geez no one cares about RnB in main stream thank u again
@@stefanguy little do you know u was going to ask if you had any base line tips in that last video but when you're a good content creator you already know what the people need. Salute bro 🤜🏾🤛🏾
Great Video, I always knew a formula existed and you put it where "The Goate's (ME) can get it" Moving forward Root - 3 -6 -7 is how I'm starting all my basslines. Thank-you with the most respect!!!! -KD
Hey, I really have to learn this. And I have been trying to learn it for such a long time. I don't know why I've been holding off on clicking the link, but I'm so very glad I did. This is what I've been hoping to add to my sound for quite some time now. One of the best videos and most informative production videos I've seen, hopefully I can finally re-commit just before the summer starts. Great video, thank you.
Thanks man! So the 2-5-1 is always played in the key of the note you want to arrive at (the 1 in 2-5-1). So if I want to land on C I'd play the 2-5-1 in the key of C (D, G, C). If I want to land on A I'd play the 2-5-1 in the key of A (B, E, A). I hope that makes sense. However, the notes of the 2-5-1s in this video, were actually in the key of B minor still. As we were just playing bass notes. If we played the corresponding chords, we would have played some notes outside the key.
@@stefanguy Great way of explaining the 2-5-1 concept in this post, I"ve been playing keys for years and I'm still learning how to apply the 2-5-1! Like always Great Vid!!
Dude, loved this video. I have a song in literally the same key, and I'm trying to find a new bass sound for it, and know that I want the same kind of warm, fat analog bass sound like you use in this video. Is this a serum preset?! Love love love this sound!!!
Thank you bro! This is sound is from Native Instruments Super 8. It’s my go to bass at the minute. But I often use once from Monark and U-he Repro. If you have any of those I can point you to the sounds
@@stefanguy haha... super quick but awesome... i'm more into kpop beats.. make R&B every now and then, so the FXs and techniques i'm still learning alot of them (R&B uses more FXs than kpop at times🤣)
Thanks bro! Haha! Links in the description but it’s from Native Instruments Super 8.. can’t remember what it’s called but it’s the only one that sounds like that under Basses so you can’t miss it!
