What are they usually playing in bass guitar ?root notes ?chords ?or what
@Weltar Yeah but, you wanna be a musician or you wanna play Motörhead? ^^(No offence..I’m just kidding, I like Motörhead)
You don’t “Teach” the blues, boy! You “Experience” the blues! Stay on Youtube, that’s as close as you’ll get to the true blues life “college boy”! Sheeiiitttt!
dude expertvillage is shitty most of the time. you must get used to to it.
wow good job
im going to college just to learn this stuff
Scales? No thanks. You need only few tones to play motorhead
i see your point, there are beginer, intermediate and advanced lessons, he asumes that you already know some things like modes, scales and intervals. you should learn them before you start to walk.
Elrcik New Jazz Standard. Very nice bass!
you seem more interested in show your knowledge than passing on your knowledge to others. basically you come off as a prick. I expected more from expertvillage.
Sounds jazzy lol
i tol d you what scale, the dorian scale its also known as the mode of the second degree of the major scale or fourth of the minor scale. The D7 is 1-3-5-b7, which is a dominant arpeggio which goes with the fith mode of the major and minor scales, the mixolydian or dominant mode. Its a major scale with a flatted seventh.
ok way over my head i do not know the voculary. i need to know what scale he is in, which steps or numbers he is playing(like 3drds 1,3,5) and where is using those notes to transition into another scale. like if you use thirds, the 5th is the same as the second note of the next scale. see what i mean? take it step by step.
for the minor chords hes playing the dorian maode, if you play a D7 you can do a dominant arpeggi or the mixolydian mode. D-7 or D minor 7 would be the aeolian mode or minor scale or some minor arpeggios, the dorian scale would would too, but its better to use dorian when leading into a major chord
expertvillage is useless
a bit soft. turn it up!
good stuff i like it. a bit confusing even as a practicing bass player. i’ve never really been able to fully understand or master how to do walking blues. when you say you are playing in the root are you playing in E? and what scale are you playing in. major, pentatonic?
