  • @fudgesauce
    @fudgesauce Před 7 lety +5

    When describing how to find the 5th above the root, at 4:53, Scott says it is three frets up. NO, it is two frets up. They way Scott is counting, the root is "one fret up" from itself. You are moving up one string (a fourth), then two half steps (two frets) to get to the fifth.
    Obviously, Scott knows where the 5th is, but he is describing it in a bad way which is confusing to people trying to follow along.

    Doing this on my NXT upright at the moment. It makes me think about open notes and dropping down to the 5th instead of the natural thing of going up. The chromatic leading tones really make you think more on upright.

  • @SNTOSN
    @SNTOSN Před 7 lety +1

    Great!. A simple lesson, straight to the point, and really helpful. Walking basslines is really one of the basics one must learn. I can create them for a song, but I should practice improvising over chords on different styles o music I don't usually play, so I can get a different kind of feel or groove or swing with each style.

  • @ruthlessadmin
    @ruthlessadmin Před 7 lety +2

    There is one trick that I figured out on my own (but later saw a video of you teaching it), which is the 5 pentatonic shapes. In terms of bang-for-buck, it's hard to imagine walking bass lines being that good. I mean, I went from being locked into one or two positions, to being able to move pretty freely across the neck in just a few hours. Within a month, all of my fumbling for notes and getting lost on the fretboard have almost vanished and my bass lines are naturally a lot more interesting now. And I only practice a few times a week due to life...
