Seriously man

Hi Tapani...you just put some hot sauce in this tutorial...very good !!...this is a call for a taco...jeeejejejej :)

Yes, I found that definition slightly curious, too...!

It’s usually the other way lol

Appreciate that!!

7 isnt un altered its a flat 7

But the thing is, Cdim7 is not actually used much in music. It's more likely that a chord symbol written as Cdim7 will actually have an A in it instead of a Bbb. That's because Cdim7, D#dim7, F#dim7 and Adim7 are all inversions of each other. Cdim7 just means that the bass note is C, but usually it's actually something like D#dim7/C, Adim7/C or F#dim7/C in the way it's functioning, unless it is the VIIdim7 chord in the key of Db. And this is why writing it as an A is really not a mistake. It just isn't the actual "7th" of the chord - it is actually the root of the chord (if the notes are C Eb Gb and A, the chord is actually an Adim7 with C as the bass note). Then again, diminished chords are symmetrical, so they really don't really have actual roots, thirds, fifths or sevenths in them...

Ben Thurley good point well made. Chords can sound great in sparse sections of songs or when the guitarist/keyboard is soloing. There is then a big space to fill.

I've been wondering this as well. Watching this video of his helped somewhat. So if you know the chord progression, you have the chords within each to play around with. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f8hoqaqksamah3k.html

@@jaredarm I agree to ur point Jared...it means that Greg and Ben didn't really pay much of attention. sorry to say that, but scott's explanation was very elementally simple with out any other example. And maybe yes an example would have help if you didn't understood the use of the chords. exmaple : with my private teacher i've learn all about the mayor and minor chords. but i was asking my self, we the bassist we don't play chords, we play low notes. But with this explanation from scott, i realize the use of the chords on bass. Because it wasn't explain to me that easy and fast way. with this tutorial, it takes me to the next level of learning bass. No example needed !!....it was too clear !! Sorry Greg n Ben !

Actually, Cº7 is a diminished triad with a diminished seventh. C with a line across the circle would be a diminished triad with a minor seventh, known as half-diminished chord.

@@jorge.rubiales yes my bad, I always mix them up...

Fcfgbc hhhihj hhtyggcvv has

@@brianplatts5198 yes or not

Lol sorry that was my son

👍👍👍

same brain is confused

Thanks for watching! 🙌🏻🧡🔥

He has the glove on his left hand.

Oh, yup, you're right. I couldn't see it on my cell phone.

is it a chapmen?

Thanks for the info!

Some people really like it in there, it can add a lot of humanity to an instrument, so it doesn't sound like a robot is playing. A couple times it seemed like an intentional rhythmic noise, like guitarists do sometimes. On the other hand, an acoustic guitar player usually doesn't want a squeaky scrape sound when switching between every chord. I feel like it's a give and take. In a recording, some of these "flaws" either aren't heard anymore when adding drums and other instruments, or it can add to the authenticity. I think it really depends on if you like it or not. Metallica taped down strings with masking tape to make sure there wasn't any extra noise when recording solos, which would never be done in a live show, so it's really up to you and what you like.

@@matthewhennessey5967 Thank you so much for the reply, it was really interesting to read about the information you have given there! I've really enjoyed it...taping the strings certainly isn't something that would be done in a live show, I just can't seem to find a way to stop that sound from happening. But it's definitely making it seem more human.

@@alos2160 I know Scott isn't doing this in the video, but maybe mute the strings with your picking hand. It seems he gets those squeaks when he lifts his left hand off the strings to move somewhere else. Hopefully that will actually help, instead of me giving fun facts.

​@@matthewhennessey5967 Thanks so much for answering, actually I've almost lost hope that anyone would answer after such a long time so it really did make me smile! As for your suggestion, muting strings with a picking hand is incredibly important for a good and clean sound, otherwise the strings would ring...( On example when you play the thinnest string on the bass 4 or 5 stringed, it's G by default, then the thickest string on 4 string bass by default setting - E would ring as well, but if you use your plucking hand then it won't ring, and the sound will be beautiful and clean. That's something that I've worked on a lot, and it has had tremendous impact on my playing! But that squeaky noise is actually the sound that comes from the surface of the skin, gloves, or anything just moving over the strings...and it's impossible to mute that with a plucking hand like that as far as I'm aware of...and it's really strange since if you try to move the position of the left fretting hand somewhere else, by lifting fingers in order to avoid squeaking noise..then the strings would ring, and create a real mess. The thing that I've found that helps to some level is to pretty much turn off the gain option on my bass settings, so squeaky noise is less noticeable, as long as the sound is not too loud... And the second thing is a little bit interesting, something that I've been experimenting a little bit, however it contradicts what I've said earlier slightly..since it does involve a plucking hand...basically when you want to switch position, if you lift all of your left hand fingers, and use your plucking hand to mute all of the strings..that can work, but at the same time, it seems to be useful only during breaks, and such, because at other times it's incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to continue playing smoothly after using plucking hand for that... I do hope that we get more opinions and tips on that, and once again thanks so much for replying here and sharing your suggestions and interesting information, it's greatly appreciated!

Thanks, man! Exactly the lesson I was wanting!

You should sign up for Scott;s bass accelerator course. He covers rest strokes and anchor points for the thumb in lesson 2.

@@joninawhitecoat Thanks.

I think that's kind of stupid, since nobody actually uses Abb in music. What key is that in? It could be the b6 scale degree in the key of Cb, the b2 scale degree in the key of Gb or the b5 scale degree in the key of Db. And even then the transcriber might decide to just call it a G natural for the sake of simplicity. When you see a chord symbol like Bbdim7, it usually actually functions as an inversion of C#dim7, Edim7 or Gdim7, but for the sake of simplicity, the chord symbol says Bbdim7 because it's the same notes and the bass note is Bb. That looks simpler than saying Edim7/Bb, and both convey basically the same message. In other words, the transcriber is not actually asking you to play an Abb. Whether double flats should be used has a lot more to do with voice leading than anything else. So I think it's quite stupid that you would get 0 points when the chord was technically 100% correct. And I'm a theory teacher.

@@MaggaraMarine Yes, I agree. I don't remember the key, I think it was just a chord we were supposed to form without any context. I'm not even sure if my example notes were correct, I will see if I can find the test, it was about a year ago.

@@MaggaraMarine I couldn't find that particular test, but I did find one test where I got 0 of ten points for writing H (I live in Germany, B for you) as the b5 in Fm7b5 instead of Cb. If it was the Chord name, I could understand it having to fit in the scale, but I was just supposed to show that I know which notes that chord includes, which of course I did.
