This really is, in someways, the best lesson you can give anyone wanting to go from intermediate to truly advanced in application. The ability to construct lines by following the voice.
Glad to see you are back Anthony, i loved this video, this is exactly the type of exercise ive been looking for recently. Im going to take my sweet time shedding this one with some of my favorite tunes. Thanks for the content, hope to see some more soon 🙌🙌
This actually breaks off the limitations of the "beginners regular triads" to the intermediate and advanced level triads and inversions. This will also create a kinda life-long exercise if applied to chords, scales and modes.
Ive done some of this concept before and yes it does help for sure. I also think sight reading helps too. If you want to know the note names and equivalent note positions its worth doing a bit of that
I just need to learn how to memorize the notes. This is how I play on my own, but I don't have a good grasp on notes and remembering where they are on the fretboard, so I'll play something and completely forget what I just did
Brother, practice major scale through all it's modes all over the fretboard in all 12 keys, approach it from all over, from high to low, low to high, skipping modes, different patterns... So, for example, you do G major and you play ALL the notes in the position, on all 4 strings (if on 4 stringed bass), then you move to A Dorian either starting anew from the lowest note, or simply sliding into it from above when you finish G major, and do the same thing, then you move to B Phrygian and on and on. You do that for all 12 keys with the variations I've included, but also seconds, thirds, quart, quints... It will take a while, but it will make your playing and understanding of music great. You can focus on the most used keys at first. Oh yes, CHORD TONES/ARPEGGIOS have to be practiced as well. Good luck. Oh, one more thing - think in patterns, remember the patterns and the sound/feel of the modes.
