How to Read a Swing Bass Progression

Video Transcript

Now, we're going to take a look at a simple chord progression and I'm going to walk through it. We'll look at it first and you can write this down at home, try it out for yourself, or you can try playing a tune in G. So we've got two measures here of G major, then you have a measure A minor and D7. Then we have A minor, D7 in a measure to G major. Then A, D, to G major. So we've got eight beats, four beats, four beats, two beats, two beats, four, two, two four. Really it's walking within this one scale and hitting those roots on those specific beats and you'll hear how you can hear the difference. So we got here, (demo) G major, A minor, D, A, D, G again A, D, G. G major, A, D, A, D, G, G, A, D, D. So utilizing that one scale we walked through this simple harmonic progression like a breeze.
