Advanced Bass Guitar: Measures 1 - 4

Video Transcript

So now that we have our C major scale down, we can go through and analyze some chord changes that we took out of a real book, and it's written in the key of C. And we start here, and we actually start on a C minor chord, so we'll show you how to play that when we go through walking through the actual chord changes. But right now, we're just going to analyze it so that's our one, right, and we want to write it as a minor chord so we give it a lowercase Roman numeral. If it was a major chord we'd just give it an uppercase Roman numeral. That's standard analyzation. And now we have an E flat, so we got C, D, E, so we know this is a three chord, and it's a minor chord, so I'll write a lowercase Roman numeral three. But our scale again is C, D, E, and we have an E flat, so this is a flat three. So a flat three minor. And if it was in E sharp we'd write a sharp three minor. So now we're going to go through and actually find these notes on the bass, so we have our C right here, right. That was easy. C, I'm going to do a little Latin bass, we go fifth, one, five, and your fifth interval's always going to be the same, it's either up two frets and up a string, or on the same fret, down a string. So one, five, one, five, and then our two is here, and there's our three. So our flat three is right here, right, so our first four chords, or first four measures is, one minor for two measures, to three minor, flat three, for two measures. So you can just keep getting that and playing it under your fingers so you got that progression down. One minor, flat three, one. So those are our first two chords and first two roots out of our tune in C and you want to make sure you write those four bars and those chords and the analyzation down as well, at home.
