What a way to start the day, thanks. How could you not be a jazz bassist with a name like Bob DeBoo, that is the swingingest name I’ve ever heard…and will now use it to practice the triad pairs. 😁

Jeez, man! You're an amazing teacher. And so humble and giving. Plus those F/B triad pairs somehow reminded me of Paul Chambers' lines... for some reason? I'm not skilled enough to know exactly WHY they sound this way to me, but anyway, thank you, Bob. Thank you OS! 💖

Sax player here, “of course “. My first time here. I’ve always found bassists thoughtful. Love how you coordinate rhythm job with soloing . Now, those minor triads you first executed invoke El Diablo en Musicum. You swing, Dude. I was the theory 3 and 4 curve breaker at my college and your comfort level and speed with explanations, while fluid and concise as well as being informative, scared the shit out of me. You rock at math, too, don’t you, you beast.

I learned basic piano and played in a college band with some friends. As a teen I played the bass. When I went off to college I put it down but never stopped listening critically. In 2005 I picked up the bass after being off it since I went off to college and so now I'm doubling down on my musicology. Open Studio, for me is the best thing since sliced bread. Between you and Peter... (bass and piano) I'm catching up on everything I missed. Thank you and keep up the good work. BTW I just forwarded this clip to my college buddy bassist. Thanks to KZfaq and Facebook.

One thing I do not get, maybe someone could help me: (Min. 13:37) The chord is F13(b9b5) . The 13 of F is D natural. On this chord he uses 2 triads: F major triad and B major triad. B major triad has the D#, dissonant from the 13 of F (D natural). Am'I loosing something? thank you. Uh, a last thing: on IReal Pro is not possible create a chord like F13(b9b5). Just F13(b9)!

@krishkrush 2 жыл бұрын

Love this lesson but I'm a bit confused as to why you have a natural 5 (C) over the F b5 chord. Doesn't that clash? Shouldn't you stay away from the natural 5 on a b5 chord? Thanks!

@victorcastrooficial 2 жыл бұрын

The chord written with the b5 would suggest an altered sound, but he's going for a dominant diminished sound which is 1 b9 #9 3 #4 5 6 b7. So not really a Cb, but a B... Same note, different context, different sound.

@bobdeboo8549 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Kris! Totally valid point. It works though. Kinda like how you can add a #9 and b9 at the same time - you can do that with the 5ths too... how does it sound though, right? Best, Bob

While it's not a "bass book" - the first book I came across was called "Intervallic Improvisation" by Walt Weiskopf. It's all in treble clef, but the concept is the same. If you find a good bass version please let me know.

Useful stuff, but too many unanswered questions. "The two triad pairs we're going to put over F13 are C minor and D minor." Where did those come from? Of all the triads available, how did you choose those two? Should triad pairs always be a step apart? Should they always built off the fifth and sixth degrees of the scale? Why minor? Why not use the F major triad for the F13, and if you did, which other triad would you pair it with? The devil is in the details.

There are many possibilities. He demonstrated a very inside one and a more outside pair. There are many more.Use the ones you like.

@vilhelmtanner6544 2 жыл бұрын

It would take a lot longer than 25 minutes if he had to teach everyone music theory. This is not a complete curriculum for jazz bass, its a 25 minute video showing one concept. Not trying to be rude but if you are gonna make a Quick video about triad pairs on a blues you have to assume the audience knows the basic theory, otherwise you should look elsewhere to learn about jazz music theory

@orritomasson6781 2 жыл бұрын

A simple trick (I think I learnt it in a Jens Larsen video on triad pairs) is that if the scale of the chord has an avoid note, your first triad can be the one that starts (in root position) one scale degree above the avoid note, and then your second triad starts one scale degree above the start of your first triad (or two scale degrees above the avoid note) Then you have picked two triads with 6 notes, out of a 7 note scale, and without the avoid note. Example: a C major chord, in the role of a tonic chord, has F (the 4th of the scale) as an avoid note. One scale degree above the F, you have a Gmaj triad (G B D), and one scale degree above G you have a Am triad (A C E). That's two triads with all the 6 "non avoid notes" from the 7 note scale But as Tom email said, there are many posibilities. Bob's choice of the Cm and Dm triads for the F13 chord matches this method if use it to pick a triad pair from the F mixolydian scale (which has the avoid note Bb). But that't not the only scale you could decide to chose a triad pair from.

@bobderosa4079 2 жыл бұрын
