Course Description
Welcome to the Bass Lessons offered by an enriching journey into the world of Jazz bass playing. This comprehensive course has a concise yet intensive duration of 1 hour and 29 minutes, making it perfect for both beginners and intermediate players looking to deepen their understanding and skills on the bass guitar.
This course is categorized under Instruments and Vocal, with a specific focus on the Bass. It meticulously guides you through a series of progressively challenging lessons that cover the fundamentals and advanced techniques of Jazz bass playing.
The learning begins with "Jazz Bass Lesson 1: Bass Basics," where you will be introduced to the foundational concepts and techniques. As you proceed to "Jazz Bass Lesson 2: Fret Board Geography," you’ll start to understand the layout of the fretboard, a crucial aspect for any bass player. The subsequent lessons, "Jazz Bass Lesson 3: Fret Board Geography - Flats" and "Jazz Bass Lesson 4: Fret Board Geography - Sharps," will further refine your knowledge by focusing on navigation of flats and sharps across the fretboard.
In "Jazz Bass Lesson 5: Roots and Anchor Notes," you will delve into identifying root notes and anchor points that serve as the backbone of bass lines. The course then transitions to an ensemble context with "Bass for Jazz Ensemble, Lesson 6: Finding Roots and 5ths," where you’ll learn to locate root notes and their associated fifths. This concept is expanded upon in "Bass for Jazz Ensemble, Lesson 7: Finding Roots and 5ths with Octaves" and "Bass for Jazz Ensemble, Lesson 8: Finding Roots and 5ths (1/4 Note Pattern)," introducing octave intervals and rhythmic patterns respectively.
As you reach "Bass for Jazz Ensemble, Lesson 9: Finding Roots and 5ths, Chromatic Transitions," you will explore smooth movement between notes using chromatic transitions. The next set of lessons such as "Bass for Jazz: Lesson 10, Relating Roots in 5ths to Chord Changes" and "Bass for Jazz: Lesson 11, Relating Roots in 5ths Below the Root" tackle more advanced topics like chord changes and note relations below the root.
Diversifying your bass line styles is key, and "Bass for Jazz: Lesson 12, Walking vs. Latin Style Bass Line," provides you with a comparison of two iconic styles. Adding harmonic interest to your playing is covered in "Bass for Jazz: Lesson 13, Adding the Dominant 7th" and its chromatic counterpart in "Bass for Jazz: Lesson 14, Adding the Dominant 7th with Chromatic Transitions."
The course introduces essential Jazz scales such as in "Bass for Jazz: Lesson 15, Major Scale" and further explores modes with "Bass for Jazz: Lesson 16, Major Scale with Dominant 7th (Mixolydian Mode)" and "Bass for Jazz: Lesson 17, Mixolydian Mode Walking.”
To ensure a well-rounded proficiency, you will also learn about minor scales in "Bass for Jazz: Lesson 18, Minor Scales," and develop your minor key bass lines in "Bass for Jazz: Lesson 19, Walking Bass Line, Minor Key" and "Bass for Jazz: Lesson 20, Minor Scale Walking Pattern."
Embark on this enriching musical journey tailored to establish a strong foundation while also elevating your Jazz bass playing skills. Dive into the uncharted waters of bass playing and transform into a proficient Jazz bassist.
