    Change up how you practice those scales and arpeggios! An often overlooked approach, this technique will make you think differently over the same chords and HEAR those same pitches in a new way. #onenote #eartraining #mindtraining

    I’ve been a bass player four about 18 years, had a great improv teacher when I fell in love with the bass, did a BA and masters in repertoire, then put down the bass for 5 years because there’s no orchestra work. I’m doing education now and rediscovering double bass and learning E bass via vitamin P and through your videos. You’re doing great work. Having fun learning to groove again thank you!

    This is a great lesson especially doing the arpeggios from a common starting note .

  • @bassomatic6055

    I didn't know this was called lateral indexing. I discovered this on my own when i decided to start with open E and for each note up to the 12 fret play 2 octave triads with the note being the root, then the 3rd, then the fifth. I didn't do augmented or diminished, but you easily could. I find this to be a good way to practice triads with all inversions of major and minor indexed on 1 tone.

  • @MarkusBHZ
    @MarkusBHZ 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Whenever I see modes being played from C to C, D to D, etc, all I hear is an ascending scale. I do not hear the individual modes and their characteristics. My approach is the same as the one you illustrate, play the modes from the same root tone.

  • @fretlessman71
    @fretlessman71 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Here's what I got for the exercise that begins around 3:30 :
    G / Gmin / C / Cmin / Emin / Eb / Gaug / Gdim / Edim/G / C#dim/G / Gsus4 / Gsus2 / Csus4/G
    13 unique triad note combinations that contain a G. Did I miss any?

    C lydian, C major, C myxolidian, C dorian, C Aeolian, C Phrygian, C Locrian, B lydian, B major, B Myxolidian,, B dorian, B aeolian, B Phygian, B locrian. That is Lowering 1 note every time, also the Root (From C locrian to B lydian, which is from Db to F# (Gb enharmonically) . after all modes in C and B you've been through all keys, but not all modes of all keys so keep on going: From B Locrian to Bb etc ... AND you are going neatly through the Cycle of 4ths each time. Do it with scales, arpeggios.... fragments...

    Playing the 7 Diatonic modes in paralel uses every note in the Chromatic scale. The Chromatic scale can be harmonized creating a common pot of chords - this is something I've been thinking about recently. This video reminded me of it!

    Sorry I didnt understand anything. Do you have some sheets with the notes you are playing. And what about the exercixe with triads? where to start and why are there different combinations? what to use? minor or major thirds? thanks in advance.

    • @pdbass
      @pdbass  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Try this: from F to F, one octave, how many chords can you figure out and play on your instrument?
      F Maj
      F min
      Bb Maj
      Bb min
      Db Maj
      D min
      F dim
      F Aug
      Gb Maj
      Endless possibilities on one note. Play and listen hard.

    • @wolframheldmaier727
      @wolframheldmaier727 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sorry, I don’t understand the purpose of this exercise. When the song is in F maj i use the notes from the F maj scale. Maybe I have a different approach. I am amateur in pop and punk.

    I never want to have to think too much when I practice; I don’t practice scales much, just plug away endlessly on pieces with depressingly slow progress. Maybe if I try getting back to music theory (that I hated in college) and quit being so intellectually lazy, it might improve my proficiency, even though I play classical piano & flute, not jazz. I’ll let you know if it does!
