I memorised major minor minor major 7th minor diminished major but for some reason it never occurred to me that the majors and the minors both form that L shape starting from the major root and the relative minor root. I feel like a fool.
I'm a ukulele spy in the house of bass. And I listened to Scotty last week, and have been practicing in the different parts of the neck. I made a chart and gave it to my piano teacher, and he is stoked for me. But not as much as I am. You really are a great teacher, merci.
I have played the bass, guitar and piano for years. This 3 shape exercise is brilliant to any beginner and even advanced musician. I applaud you for your imagination. Great method. Thank you.
A shout to everyone out there, like me, who watched the whole class closely, and don’t even have a bass to follow it! Just watch it because Scott teaching is soothing and it’s so fun to watch. Thanks, man!
Been playing guitar since 2000, but picked up bass back in may. I'd definitely recommend grabbing a bass and playing around on it even if you don't plan on really playing bass long term. I've really enjoyed it, definitely gives you that spark like you had when you first starting learning guitar. And, to be honest, I was always just a play by ear type of player, never really settled down and learned music theory. So using being new to bass as an opportunity to tackle that and translate it back to guitar.
@@harrysutton8998 so, having played guitar for many years, I picked up the bass. Guess what!? It’s a totally different instrument, then the guitar… Yes, it looks the same but just because your guitar player doesn’t mean you’re a bass player I found that out quickly enough there is a real art, playing bass, and it hasn’t come naturally to me like I thought it might because I had already learned guitar…
Honestly the info about how to find which chords are which from a major scale is possibly the most helpful thing I have ever seen! Been playing over twenty years and can’t believe this exists! Nice one mate thanks!!!
Yeah, to me the first tip is an overkill. Both in Major and Minor scales, 1 4 and 5 are the Major and Minor chords respectively, the rest are the Minor and Major Chords respectively, expect the 7th which is dim in Major, and the 2nd is dim in Minor. In summary: Major: 1 4 5 are major. 7th is dim Minor: 1 4 5 are minor, 2th is dim
Man, I’ve known all this stuff for years but I still love watching these you might always learn a new angle of looking at things. Scott is such a great teacher, all you young bass players need to realize how fkn lucky you are to have amazing resources like this these days for learning, with such great passionate teachers like Scott. Wish we had stuff like this back when I was first learning.
Hi Scott, I'm a guitar player but since few years I'm learning even bass , and drums, and your lessons are very important and clear, I'm Italian and sometimes I don't understand every words, but all is clear, thanks❤
A very bold statement but it was no BS. This really did open the matrix for me in away nothing else has, regarding the fretboard in decades. And yes, I think this really has changed my life! Very many thanks for your inspiring teaching.
Scott in the exercise using the three triad forms but only on the first five frets, when you sped up i could hear what you meant when you said that this is how we make grooves! Such an a-ha! Moment for me. Thanks so much man you rock
Great lesson Scott, wish I could take your course if for anything to support all the work you do for us but unfortunately at this time I am not able to afford the class with the health expenses my family is dealing with at the moment, I really appreciate all the work you do for the bass community
Mr D sorry if I missed this in a previous video, but have you explored Mick Goodrick's book The Advancing Guitarist? His lessons all apply to bass, especially learning single string modes, and especially all 48 triads.
SO HELPFUL. Thanks. I've signed up for the Ultimate pack and have looked over "how to practice" already. Technique and fretboard daily..... This is my first SMART goal. Get those triads down pat in all their forms up the fretboard. I"ll start at the money end...and work up to the dusty end. :-) Thanks again....
I'm a guitarist with decent theory (degree) and have never thought of that little "trick" to knowing which chords are major or minor in a major key! I'll definitely be politely nicking this for lessons! That's a great little simple way to know what to play if you can't properly remember them. We've (Fretted string instruments) always had a bit of a cheat in terms of transposition and keys but that's one I hadn't thought of before. It's a brilliant one for confidence as well- not being scared of not remembering things in important moments.
Funny, I was practicing these triads and using the chords of the key trick just yesterday, and here's this video today - like I'm on a mind wave-length with SBL, lol. I used the key chords trick to find a borrowed chord, the bVII borrowed from the parallel minor key, to use in the major key chord progression. It was tricky.
But, now I understand why the major chords in a minor key are called bIII, bVI, and bVIII - they're a half-step below the minor chords in the major key.
This is a good lesson for those of us who are visual pattern type players. I would have got this a lot quicker when I was learning if someone showed me this.
This was brilliant and extremely useful. Thanks. On a side note. Going through the triads through the circle of fifths backward is almost the same chords and melody to the children's song, 'Windmill In Old Amsterdam'. 😁
played off and on last 20yrs... I watched your vids when you first started, wish i kept watching as i havent played in 8yrs... imagine how good id be if i followed oh well... picking up bass again, never to late
Hello Scott, I hope all is well with you and your family! I am 61 years old, and I’ve never owned a base… However, I am thinking about purchasing a used Jackson JS3 for under $250 (usd), or should I spend the money on a Sire V3 (new) instead of used JS3? I will upgrade to a better bass after I’ve progressed a bit. Thank you for your time and I enjoy your content!
Hey! Either of those basses are good options for a first instrument, what's more important is that the instrument is properly set up! You can take it to a good tech to do this or you can check out our own videos on how to set your bass up! Whichever one you go for, Enjoy and have fun!!
Love your videos! Thanks! Learning piano. Relentless scales and formula patterns. RCM writes scales in 4/4, but with no bar lines. So,...how do you count (scales) groups of seven notes in 4/4? And,...why isn't 7/4 time more common, as we use it so often practicing scales? 1,2,3,4,1,2,3. 1,2,3,4,1,2,3....Thanks; David.
nice work man. just decided to watch a ut lesson a day, searched reddit for some good teachers, got your recommendation and im impressed. shall try that triad thing in the 3 hand positions tomorrow. no doubt you have similar exercises for ze minor, hdim and aug triads. and yes i do think a lot of bass players are supremely lazy with their instrument, you really need options. seriously i could get a more entertaining choon out of an expert triangle player than a hack guitarist. true. i once tried it. he had the devil's music going in him man, dat choon had riddim
I just found out that I *do* know music theory from noodling around on my guitars, but I didn't know the fancy words for the relationships, but this actually helped with some of that. Unfortunately I had to sell my bass to pay rent, but once I get back on my feet I'll be set to party. ^__^
It would be helpful for videos like this to mirror-image your video so that the direction matches the insets and learners (right handed like you) can mirror your movements. Gets confusing seeing your fingers move one way and the explanation inset in the opposite direction. Just a thought!
Thanks for pointing this out. As a lefty, it made me even more confused. But Scott, even if you don’t change this, we are all super grateful for your amazing teaching skills & of course your playing skills! You inspired me at 48 years old to pick up the bass again and start over! Thanks again, Scott!
Super cool lesson. Great fresh insight into relative minor/major - and what it actually means. Great way of explaining it - I would have really appreciated this about 100 years ago when I was first learning it! I’m going to sign up for a course to see what else you got. Cheers, mate.
Admittedly I was initially disappointed that this would be another diatonic chord video. Wow - I was wrong. Turned it into some great and useful exercises. Thanks for the free content!
i was forming a band 13 moths ago and we had a dilema haha was 3 guitar player and no bass so i jump on the bass for the band been complete to be fair i play by ear but i would love to know all of that good stuff and that little trick to find the notes its priceless thank u scott(y)
Scott, have you ever created a video or any teaching materials on how to develop good time? That would be extraordinary helpful. For me personally, I always use a metronome when I practice, but I'm still always pushing the beat.
This was slightly confusing to me too. It's just the way he references counting. Other teachers would probably say it differently. It's just important to pay attention to how many frets he's actually "moving".
HUGE help buddy !!..just happened to come on your TH-cam Thumbnail....man what a HUGE eye ( Ear ) opener..really heplped me a LOT. very grateful will buy in your course AND Cannel. THANK YOU. SO. much. !!
ohh okay.. didn't know the terms of that patterns, but im using it to enhance the sounds especially on fills and running chords. I'm a newbie on Bass but master the Alphabet of Bass Chords on fret board. (don't you know every 13th fret chord is the same chords from no. 1) if i play i just used descending pattern or ascending patterns sounds and slide and hammer and vibrate and pull what so ever just to make it sounds good.
Ok, Ok "3 FRETBOARD SECRETS That Will Change Your LIFE", Yeah, well Ok, Ok, Ok - This really must be some sort of Blessing because "Now I Know" !!! I think I took the red pill and the blue pill Bro. I can play the Bass and the Lead from this insight on Triads. Ok and to drop into the minor 4 frets back is sounding pretty nice too. I want to say thanks man. I had no idea I would be enlightened with this approach to mastering the fretboard. This along with a major / minor Pentatonic or Diatonic with Circle of F's and I feel comfortable to jump around and make music in my mind. Now, I have to practice so my fingers can catch but what a great place to start for a beginner, 🤩 🎸
This video made things really start to click for me. I've been taking lessons, but they're focused on playing songs and not on becoming an artist. I want to play the bass and jam, not just play songs.
Not to be pedantic, but there's actually a 5th type of triads based on quartal harmony which covers suspended chords among other things. Very hip sound that work in solo contexts
I was wondering, is it common knowledge that if you take the tuning of any string, you can use the same frets every time to follow that note's major or minor key? For instance, if I take the E string, you will have E major by playing 0, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11. And you will have minor by playing 0, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10. If I take any other string, let's say the top B on a five-string, I can find the notes for B major or B minor by following the exact same frets as I did with the E string.
I actually play guitar but have never stopped loving bass guitar, I do have two, Warwick Corvette Fretless and a Jazz Bass from Squire. I get lots of ideas playing bass. I enjoy your channel a lot, you guys are funny and informative. Keep it up, greetings from The Netherlands. @@devinebass
Just browsing the channel. Just subscribed, beautiful job all around. Check 'Moonbean Woman' by Freak Power, great line. Finger independence, groovy, ghost notes all over, awesome fills... I think it would make a nice lesson. Thank you for sharing all these great bass lessons, secrets, etc...
I am not a bass player . Playing 3 sharing notes as in 1 4 5 is fine because those notes are common for both Major and Minor and as well as the most common chord progressions 1-4-5 . However, I think the method of moving 4 frets toward the headstock then play notes 1 4 5 as a pattern for playing in Major chord can create a bad habit especially knowing the 3 notes in the minor but don’t the root note of the minor . For example, playing the C Major at the 8th fret on E string then moving 4 frets toward the headstock then that would be a note G , so by playing GCD as 145 . However , the root of the Minor chord should be note A as A Minor chord because it is the 6th note of C Major chord . May be you should also teach how to determine the root of the Minor chord after playing 145 GCD and a note is located one string above the 5th is note A as the root note for A minor chord ?
thank you for the video, it's so usefull. I might not be the only one and I'm sure there's a reason for that but near the end of the video I couldn't help hearing the intro theme of "Light my fire" by the Doors, right ?
I mean I was hearing the melody in my head over the exercise so I guess the chord progression of Light my fire's intro is exactly that, the circle of fifth anti clockwise with only major chords.

The major/minor/half diminished thing is the best bass hack I've ever heard.
It's not a hack. Everyone's looking for the hack or short cut instead of using their head.
I memorised major minor minor major 7th minor diminished major but for some reason it never occurred to me that the majors and the minors both form that L shape starting from the major root and the relative minor root. I feel like a fool.

Scott, have you ever created a video or any teaching materials on how to develop good time? That would be extraordinary helpful. For me personally, I always use a metronome when I practice, but I'm still always pushing the beat.
Yes! There are several courses over in the SBL academy that deal with developing and maintaining your time!
this really helped and a light switch just came on.. wish i had the cash to join and get more. But ill save to get there.. thanks scott.
Great lesson. Scott is the best.
? Is it 4 frets down or physically 3 frets down? Do you always count the root cord also?
This was slightly confusing to me too. It's just the way he references counting. Other teachers would probably say it differently. It's just important to pay attention to how many frets he's actually "moving".
Great video! I understand the logic behind everything EXCEPT... why we did it using the circle of 4th's.
The circle means that we work in all 12 keys, it also means that we start using these ideas in some sort of harmonic motion!
Thanks Scott!
Hi Scott,
Thank you for this lesson, it's change my life hahaha 😂

I was wondering, is it common knowledge that if you take the tuning of any string, you can use the same frets every time to follow that note's major or minor key?
For instance, if I take the E string, you will have E major by playing 0, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11. And you will have minor by playing 0, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10.
If I take any other string, let's say the top B on a five-string, I can find the notes for B major or B minor by following the exact same frets as I did with the E string.

Scott uses D'addario chrome flats on this bass!
I am not a bass player . Playing 3 sharing notes as in 1 4 5 is fine because those notes are common for both Major and Minor and as well as the most common chord progressions 1-4-5 . However, I think the method of moving 4 frets toward the headstock then play notes 1 4 5 as a pattern for playing in Major chord can create a bad habit especially knowing the 3 notes in the minor but don’t the root note of the minor . For example, playing the C Major at the 8th fret on E string then moving 4 frets toward the headstock then that would be a note G , so by playing GCD as 145 . However , the root of the Minor chord should be note A as A Minor chord because it is the 6th note of C Major chord . May be you should also teach how to determine the root of the Minor chord after playing 145 GCD and a note is located one string above the 5th is note A as the root note for A minor chord ?
thank you for the video, it's so usefull. I might not be the only one and I'm sure there's a reason for that but near the end of the video I couldn't help hearing the intro theme of "Light my fire" by the Doors, right ?
I mean I was hearing the melody in my head over the exercise so I guess the chord progression of Light my fire's intro is exactly that, the circle of fifth anti clockwise with only major chords.
Nice exercises, but couldn't really get them working on my specific drumkit.
