MARK!! Thanks for this excellent series of exercises. I've been running diatonic arpeggios forever. NOW I've actually understood what I've been doing!. Bravo!
What a great lesson Mark! I really appreciate that you get into music theory and explain it so well. I can’t believe that you put this content out there for free, it’s absolute gold. I also love your courses on your website, happily working my way through them as we speak.
Hey man! I just want you to know that you are doing a great job for helping us bass players improve our bass playing. You are truly one of the best music teacher for sure! Thanks Mark!
I think it would but you'd have to modify it because you'll run out of room on a 4 string bass. I think the easiest way would be to play all the roots on the same string, then continually shift up while playing the 7th arpeggios.
It's elementary. There are rules. The rules can all be broken at will if it sounds good. Got it? Having the experience and good taste to know the difference without being boring or overplaying is huge. Then becoming rhythmically tasty and in the pocket is the other part of it. Should you be on the beat or ahead of the groove? Behind? Do you know the difference and can you do this while following the way music naturally ebbs and flows in time?
Adam, it works in exactly the same way. Play a note, skip a note. In other words, keep stacking thirds and you will derive the 7th chords of a major key. So for C major, the chords would be Cmaj7, Dm7, Em7, Fmaj7, G7 (the only dominant 7 in the key), Am7, and Bm7b5.
In terms of the actual seventh chord construction and names I’ve done a TON of lessons on them here on YT. Just search seventh chord arpeggios Talkingbass and you’ll probably see a load. Also go to the Talkingbass website, go to Lesson Map and check out the Music Theory For Bass section or Scales and Arpeggios. It’s all there in a systemised layout.
The best bass channel on whole TH-cam!! Thank you, Mark!!
Soon 300K subs! You deserve many many more!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
"Up the B diminished" sounded like a euphemism. Top class stuff as always.
I like your lessons a lot. They help very much.
this is a good lesson
Great video Mark, you've greatly assisted me learning bass. All your videos mean alot to me. Thanks
Thank you so much and I love you so much♥️♥️♥️♥️

That was far more musical than I thought it would be and there`s enough material here to keep me going for quite some time. Great stuff as usual Mark!

Your bass sounds just AMAZING!
Love this exercise. This will definitely have to become a daily challenge. Thanks.
Very clear and useful...as usual...well done, sir!
I love this channel. Way to go!
Awesome exercise !
Great exercises.
awesome, thanks a bunch! this will become a routine for me (I hope)!
Cool exercise. I remembered Adam Neely advocating for doing stuff like ascending and descending in 4ths or other intervals too.
Yes you can ascend and descend with any intervals or intervallic sequences. Diatonic thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, sevenths and beyond.
Not looking forward to trying this one! Thanks, Mark!!
Could you do Come On Come Over some time?
Great lesson! Do you think using 7th arpeggios with this excersise would work well???

I would really love to see similar explanation of 7th chords. I'm still not feeling very comfortable with them and all the different names.
