Hello. I am a beginner bass player and do enjoy you’re videos. The only question I have is why do you keep saying the cords are C, G, Am,and F while showing the tablature as C, G, A, and F? Should the tab for Am on the D string be the 6th fret? Just wondering. Thank you.

Great lesson, im a brand new bass player only had few lessons i get it all upto, 11.34 then you completly go different to what you have shown and as all you teachers seem to do is start to show how good you are can you please explain where these extra notes come from when you havnt even shown them or why the changes happen

Hi Lee, thanks for the kind words. At the end of the lesson I’m showing you where these basic ideas can go and some of the ideas that can be derived from G major scale. Hope that helps James

@davidmonroe7618 3 жыл бұрын

Great lesson James. Thanks. One question: using the chord progression C-G-A-F, when you play the A note at 5th position on the E string, shouldn't the next note be C# at the 9th position rather than C? That is then followed by E at 7th fret on the A string.

@ebassguitar 3 жыл бұрын

The chord is a Am and c is the minor 3rd of that chord

Apologies if this has asked before and i have very limited knowledge but in C major where does the Am come from 🤔 I can see that it is the 6 note of the scale of C but why does it sound sooooo good? Also, anywhere on the net and I would play a in progression like this whereas guitar, keys etc play A minor in the songs you mentioned which use these for chords.. I mean how come Am occurs so frequently rather that Dm or Bm as D and B are also in the C major scale . This could be a sleepless nights 😬 Brilliant lessons and you have a great way of presenting the sessions

@MyVantasticLifeVoyage 11 ай бұрын

I think you are confusing the C Major scale and chords in the key of C, of which there are three minor chords, Am, Dm and Em.. hope that helps .

@peterbridge7940 11 ай бұрын

Many thanks and I was definitely confusing myself and I had no idea that there were "chords" in the key of C (or any key) and I assumed there were only notes in the scale and that is something I need to read up on. So much to learn and so little time😂 So now I understand where Am related to VI comes from. Does Am related to A occur more often than Dm or Bm for example in songs?
