Video idea: simple turnarounds and "transitions" to go from one root to another. Really basic stuff, but I know a lot of beginner gospel bass players who only do roots and would like a little more to add to their playing. EX: If I'm going from the 1 to the 5 - what "transitions" can I do to add a bit of spice?

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:34 The bass licks in this video are based on the key of A minor and combine the diminished 7 arpeggio with major and minor pentatonic scales. 02:18 The first lick ascends the A flat diminish 7 arpeggio and descends on the C major pentatonic scale, incorporating trills and finishing on A. 04:01 The second lick starts with an A Minor triad arpeggio, moves to E minor 7 arpeggio, then A diminish 7 arpeggio, and ends on A. 05:28 The third lick combines F Sharp diminish 7 arpeggio, a pause, and descending A minor blues scale notes, creating a bluesy sound. 06:58 The fourth lick uses F Sharp diminish 7 arpeggio and A minor pentatonic scale notes, incorporating double-back technique and ending on A. 08:02 The fifth and final lick combines A minor pentatonic scale, B diminish 7 arpeggio, and C major pentatonic scale notes, creating a smooth melodic line. Practice and patience are key to mastering these licks. Made with HARPA AI

Thanks for putting this together Travis! keeping it lit always!!

Love the on-screen tabs, those are a huge help.

i’m actually getting it and i feel like my skill is reaching a whole new level. thanks!

See! Can't stop playing that Sing Ray! Thanks Travis!

Awesome stuff! Diminished lines always sound so nice to me :)

This is one of the best lessons Ive seen on KZfaq to increase my bass vocab. Ive used 1/2 dim scales for walking lines but never for licks. Great lesson. Do more!!

Keep em coming just like this!!!!!

I love that bass and the way you play it, real cool👍🏾

Just what I needed 😊 Amazing 💯

Fantastic! Thank you.

Than just funky groove that was...Thanks.

awesome, and thanks!

Love the on screen tabs. Thanks

The onscreen tabs are a real help. Thanks Travis. Been watchin your videos for quite a while. Keep doin your thang. Also, it would help if you made a video about what to do when improvising

Thank you, Boss 🙂. This is very cool and helpful 😊

AMAZING !!

Great one bro!

Travis, great lesson brother.

#5 is tight! Reminds me of the interlude on Love Theory

Thanks for this.

God bless you man❤

Lovely 🔥

Very good, Travis, congratulations, keep bringing content like this, simple, practical and very rich. I would really like to see a video with 5 LINKS of phrases with Melodic Minor and Harmonic Minor, it would be really good! Thank you in advance, God bless you!

Awesome😊

alaways waiting for ur video nice lession alaways

nice video

Coated bass lessons haha

Great vid. Would love the reasoning and theory behind this as well. Why are we playing a F# diminished lick here? What key are we in?

🔥🔥🔥

Great stuff bro... I've got my stuff to work on this weekend and more. Love the diminished sound in combination with other scales and arpeggios etc...

Bro!!!!!!!! That bass sounds incredible!!!! I always love your videos. But if I'm being honest with you.. I always want to adjust your EQ on your BassMod. It never sounds as full as this bass you're playing now. ( In this video) I don't know if it the preamp in the BassMod, but whatever is happening in that music man or Sterling ( whichever) .. That thing has a mean growl to it!!! I love it!! It immediately caused me to make the Ugly , Nasty, dumpster funk face!!! 🤣😂🤣😂 You are great, Bro!!!! I truly love and appreciate the blessing that you are to the body of Christ and the world at large!!! Keep up the great work!!

Can you do some different keybass tones and how to achieve them?

I love this tone rather than your bass before

Nice playing! Do you have a link to the backing track?

Great licks, and great instruction, however, i missed the part where the licks fill in? What type of progression are we playing to add these licks. How does the Ab diminished fit?

Please what exercices do you use for improve your fingers to move fast on the bass guitar ?

NIce

IMHO Lick 3 works better starting from F. That makes sense because it’s the same as Ab (or G#) in the other examples, which outlines a E7 chord that resolves in Am.

Hey Sir Travis you are a great bass player always fallow you but could you give something a little more worship type that just funky groove, love your playing but would appreciate some real worship groove and licks....Thanks...

I love these licks. A suggestion: when applicable please explain the right hand fingering technique(s) employed. For example, on Lick #2 you drag your index across two strings followed by your middle finger dragging across 3 strings. I guess this would be called economy or efficient picking? I tried alternate picking Lick #2 and I don't even get close to the fluid sound you create using your technique. Thanks.

Salam dari Indonesia ❤

Yo! Anybody know a good vid/site where I can practice Diminished scales for bass?

Idea!!! Maybe let us know the progression. .Maybe indication how a F#m fits in an Am pentatonic scale

The application of the diminished scale wasn't on a diminished chord, it was on a minor chord to generate an outside effect?

As a beginner bass player… is there a video to learning the pentatonic scales and such? I’ve just started playing… honestly only 1 week in. And learning the fretboard and keys and all the notes is a bit overwhelming… not giving up that’s for sure. But where did you begin at essentially?

Is that a Music Man or a Sterling? Either way, it sounds -- pardon the pun -- divine.

BRO U JUST MEAN, 👍🙂

ive only played bass a handfull of times and all i can play is the Orion lick and a bit of schism (i know mainstream stfu) but im concidering taking up bass i just play classic guitar but i think bass is seriously under-rated

Who does this lick what song is this

What chord does the first lick work on ?

I notice you use A flat a lot. Is that a Gospel Key ?

Positioning my lefthand is still my major problem😔

Day 1 of asking for a bass so i can learn to play in church like Travis

yes these licks sound good but poorly explained in relation to the key ! Ab diminished?? explain please!! not good!!

Jesus Cristo está Voltando! Morreu na Cruz por nós e pagou por nossos pecados!o céu é real,mas o inferno também é real,e se viver no pecado e fazendo nossas mas vontades,iremos para lá.Só Jesus Cristo salva, não Maria, não é José,nem Paulo,nem ninguém da terra,mas sim Cristo Jesus que é do Céu e foi enviado por Deus para nos salvar!

That crappy Bass has serious feet buzz my guy.

Cockroach style playing

Hey, good video, but PLEASE, do not start every video with explanation of the most basic concepts. Who doesn't know what diminished arpeggio is can easily look it up and then get back. Imagine this: you are binge watching all videos on diminished patterns and evey single one starts with explanation what diminished means.. I mean, that's borderline annoying.

Like your Music son, the " Christin" ISH?? NAH!! Wake UP!!

Why you don't say in what key you are playing while doing all those arpeggios?????????? Dumb
