Why EVERY Bass Player Should Learn About Chord Tones

In this lesson I’m going to talk about why I think every bass player should work on an understanding and knowledge of chord tones and chord construction.
Every piece we play contains a harmonic background of some kind. This is the ‘chord progression’. When we create a bass line for a tune it’s our functional role as a bass player to outline that harmony and to do this we need to play around a framework of chord tones. The notes of the chords.
If you’ve ever found yourself stuck playing simple root notes as a bass line and want to introduce some extra notes for interest. Chord tones are your friend.

Liked Fmaj7 , C# M and G dominant 7 for third roots position .
Good info. Bought a couple of your courses a while back including chord tones. I have just started back on bass. Getting some basic stuff down and learning the board and I will dive right into chord tones. Its the key to it all.
I've been wanting a good explanation of chord tones for so long. This was immensely helpful. Thank you!
Most underrated music teacher on youtube
Something has clicked right before you said something will click.
Very well explained, fits right into my Root Bass Playing.
These lessons should be translated in different languages 😀

Your brain when you hear non chord tones:
Brain: …wait, that's illegal
I got so much value from this video. I'm going to start learning chord tones and practicing them in songs. Thanks.
I'm doing this without knowing what it is called. Thanks for introducing this to me
Great lesson, thank you.
This is a great video! Really appreciate you making it so clear.
If i ever get famous, I'ma put a big fat talkingbass.net sticker on my bass
Nice, well explained and clear lesson. He went straight to the point, well done man!
Thank you. You've got the BEST channel on bass. No talk, just to the point. Thanks!! Great job.
Thank´s Mark for your great lessons. Here it is not just talk, talk, talk, like on other channels, what makes it really enjoyable. I played the guitar as an autodidact but it turned out that I have more talent for bass. That´s why I now start to learn the instrument. I am from austria so there is another good thing coming with my studying: I have to think everything in a foreign language. That helps me getting better in english as well. I just subscribed to TalkingBass.net. Let´s get it on. So, thanks again! You are a great instructor/ teacher. Wolfgang Markus
Could you do a lesson on chordslapping, in the style of Kai Eckhart (and I think Armin Metz uses it too)? It's not very popular but I would really enjoy it if you could do a video about it.
Thanks for the awesome videos dude. ????
I learned about chords from piano – and my teacher taught me tonic, sub-dominant and dominant 7th as well as others, too. I've been playing with arpeggios and working on a walking bass – and this is going to enrich what I'm doing. Good video.
Does anyone know what bass he is using? ty in advance
Hi Mark. Thank you so much for doing this. I've already learned a lot from you. I can't wait for the upcoming lessons.
Can you post a video that's just an hour or two of you playing jazzy basslines like this? It's relaxing to listen to.
Great lesson, thanks!
Very important lesson. Thank you!!
BEST TEACHER FOR THE BEST LESSON
Mark… brother… you have been so helpful in my journey as a bass player. Great work, we all love you man!
Thanks Mark, one course I think I might grab.
Awesome lesson!
excellent lesson!, chordal playing opens a whole new level of bass understanding.
Fantastic teacher. Thanks from Spain.
Great video! Any chance of a request for the Cliff Burton style of "single-finger" flutter style of play? Hard to find much information about it!
