What I learned from watching this is: 1) listen to the track, and feel the groove or the type of 'song' it might be 2) find the root notes ...and knowing how scales are constructed helps with the understanding of chord progression 3) play roots and fifth to the feel what it might sound like (knowing what a blues is, or bossa nova, rock, or swing etc helps) 4) embellish the notes-- run ups, play up the neck 5) on beats 3, 4 on the last bar, add a few notes to bring it back to the next 'chord' Anything I missed? I love watching musicians do this on the spot... the more I learn about music, the more I understand that it isn't magical, but just a healthy understanding of intervals and everything else... Can't wait to catch the bus :)
Great premise for a video! However, I have to chuckle when I hear "chord progressions never heard before!". If you've ever listened to the radio for an hour (especially a classic rock station) you've heard EVERY chord progression ever written. But I appreciate what you're doing here
awesome guys! i love to do that, play son backingtrack and just play some bass lines, sometimes i create a great bassline, but i forgot to write it down and forgot what i was playing the next day 😁😁 Thanks for this James and Freddie
Thanks for sharing, Omar! It sounds like you're having a blast jamming along. Don't worry about forgetting those awesome basslines-just keep grooving, and the magic will happen again! Cheers!
@@ebassguitar yes i do :) i don't have much time to go the studio with other musician, so almost all the time that i play the bass i do it myself playing with backingtracks, time have change for me hehehe
Super demonstration. Does your course Hear It Play It include exercises or tests that challenge you to figure out the chord or tonic of a series of chord progressions?? I believe that working on this kind of exercise could really improve my ear.

Great point, Patrick! Glad you like the video!

Great lesson.
Glad you like it! Cheers!
That's a great format. Keep'em coming. Just watch your levels. Pity that the bass signal is clipping so annoyingly.

Absolutely! We have a wide range of exercises and tests specifically designed to enhance your ear training skills. :-)
Thanks Freddie and James for a great lesson and exercise!
My pleasure! Cheers!
Lots of inspiration there. Running to grab my bass. Thanks!!
Glad to hear you find the video inspiring! Cheers!
Love the idea, please do more and add some fills
Will do! Just stay tuned for more. All the best!
