@@nickfanzo Good advice, but not done. 😊 Diminished, Augmented, Whole tone. And there’s Altered. You never are done if you want to explore what music is made of. However it’s overwhelming if you try stuff that is two steps ahead of where you are.
Good tutorial, Tatiana. I've been playing music since 1959, starting on the piano. I've learned several different instruments since then, but I've never played a double bass. Playing one just slightly ahead of the beat due to the string length makes perfect sense. I may be 73, but it nice to be reminded that I still have much to learn. Thanks!
Thank you and nice to meet you too! Yes, the good walking bass gives music a nice grounded feeling, and it makes it easier and more enjoyable for everyone to play!
Thank you for this tutorial Tatiana. Above all, it makes it clear that musical theory is very important to know which notes are in the chord and in the key of the piece. The beginner will know that it is essential to play relax.
@@khankann In my artistic life, I had a bit of a Beatles approach: no music theory until I needed it and since then it has opened giant doors in creativity.
Wow - I don't think I have every seen this explained so clearly! Perhaps most good "players" are not such good "teachers". Great job - And such nice energy!
I would say that the first note should usually be the root (as Tatiana says) but occasionally it a good idea to use the third on beat 1 and maybe hit the root on beat 2. Alternatively hit the fifth on beat one etc. It’s not a good idea to do this too often but it really makes your line more interesting. However, get the root note thing right first then start to look at the other options. Listen to the great upright players (like Ray Brown for example) who are masters of this technique.
When I was a teenager starting out singing in a band with guys 10 to 15 years older than me, we had two bass players named Mick Turner in the band at different times (!!!) and one used to go for a walk and take a long time to get back. We needed a search party! It was so hard to follow where he was in the progression if I didn't pay strict attention during lead breaks because it just wasn't clear which were the root notes. Often, he wouldn't actually play the root note at a chord change anyway. Very Jazz influenced Blues Player, very oldschool. This just reminds me of those times in the late 80s, but I'm playing bass now, so maybe I'll go for a walk! Great lesson, thanks!
Any bass player who can’t do this isn’t really a bass player. Learn this important essential, basic skill well. Charming, intelligent presentation. Thanks. 🇬🇧
Excellent teaching, mecolleague. You just taught me that I shouldn’t be breezing through my lessons like I have been doing. Got a bit too used to the job, but your approach has just refreshed mine. Thank you 😊

Thank you for reaffirming what I have, until now, only assumed was a legitimate method. This walking bass technique is virtually universal for any style.
@@Vincent-i8v thank you! I actually just make this channel, that’s all. I can’t find time to make my own bass course although I would like to! Unfortunately, life is too busy with the regular job and all the other stuff. Maybe one day this channel will bring me enough income to free some time for creating more useful materials! 🤷♀️❤️
I'm a guitar player. I've recently been asked to join another band to play bass for them. I thought I would check this video out. Anyway, your beautiful smile distracted me from the bass a bit. Why do you have to be so beautiful?
Respected madam Tatiana you explained for the first position in the blues progression that you can play eight fourths in mixolydian mode. I am interested in whether the same rule can apply in position 1 in the 2 - 5 - 1 major progression (given that the major seven is in question). You also mentioned chromaticism, so I wanted to know if it is possible to play in position 1 arpeggio where we do not change the hand position and start from 7-1-3-5 where the previous fifth where the dominant 7 is lowered in order 7 5 1 3 to connect from the fifth three tones in one seventh tone ????
Hi, thank you for your question! Can I clarify it a bit? 1) Saying 'position 1' do you mean frets? I don't think I played anything in the position 1. Or could you tell me the timing on video when it happens? 2) Talking about chromaticism, what chord progression do you mean in position 1? There are 4 possible tonalities in the position 1 for a 4-string bass, each of them has their own 2-5-1, and if I know what exactly you mean, I'm happy to help! You are also welcome message me on FB and send a short video with you hand on the fretboard, so that I understand you better.
@@khankann I'm sorry for my English when I say position 1 I mean in progression 2 5 1 not on frets I mean on chord number one. Anyway thank you I understand that mixolidyan can be used on 5 chord and chromatic aproach can be from last tone of 5th arpegio near to 1 chord of maj7 arpegio. .
@@dadodjerlek9078 That's OK, English is my second language too, so we are in the same boat! Hmm, I might need to make a video about chromatic transitions between chords. Actually, that works every time when you have a tone between your last note of the previous chord and the root tone of the next chord. You just cover that distance with semitones!
You missed one of the most important bits. It's normal for the note before a chord change to be either one scale tone above or below the root of the next chord, or a semitone above or below the root. This is to lead the ear into the next chord. For instance, from Dm7 to G7, the fourth note would be F, F#, G#, or A. You'd normally choose a note that falls between the third note of the bar and the first of the next, so in the above example, the Dm7 bar might be | D C F F# | G, or | D F A G# | G. This gives it a much stronger pull to the next chord and enhances the walking.
You are right that the line shall lead us from one chord to another! I don’t think I covered different ways on how exactly it shall go because there are many different ways. Most of players choose a few favourite ways and use them a lot 😄 I actually might need to think about a separate video covering several most popular transitions between chords… thank you for the idea!
Thank you) If your fingers need some rest, you always can take a break and pretend it's still music! The rests are part of music and part of our lives! :)
