  • Great video, and as always amazing well timed with my own progression! I've been practicing my forms for major and minor triads, but realized I didn't know, well, a lot of this!

    Question: In older chord videos you showed a C Major triad or chord as the root, third, octave. Then later play with root, third, seventh. What's that called, just Cmaj7?

  • Never a wasted lesson, Mark. Doesn’t matter if we’ve known this since the 60s, we some how fail to communicate our root note or chord-tone arpeggio process to our band mates when we they are calling out an Am. We might say; cool, I’ll play an “A,” (played after the C, and before the F and G). 

    Whoa! They argue that we bassists shouldn’t play an A, but an Am triad+ at the lower two frets, strummed like their open cowboy chords.That’s mud!

    I’m sending them a link to your video, because you say it clear enough for even guitarists playing six-skinny strings to understand. I hope.

  • I've self taught bass for a year now. I knew all the content of this lesson aside from stuff about chord structure. Despite this you talk about it so well that refreshing myself on the basics become fun! I'm gonna look into more chord stuff now. Thanks so much for your lessons, they've helped me alot along my journey!

  • Even as an intermediate now, this is very relevant to pretty much any bassist of any level. Understanding how to read chord progressions and qualities and how to act in them are massively important to ensuring the flow of a song indeed. Great work!
