So after watching maaany youtube videos trying to learn theory in a way that makes sense… you win. And as a grandmother it takes me a bit longer to understand the information and digest it so thanks for the lessons. Been playing around a year now with intent of learning the “language of sound” and applying it to bass practice, and guitar and keys also but primarily bass. It’s lovely being able to learn from others and have that opportunity accessible all over the globe. Cheers!
I would recommend you watch some music theory videos on youtube. e.g. ua-cam.com/video/_eKTOMhpy2w/v-deo.html Then how chords work ua-cam.com/video/5Y01jIorpeA/v-deo.html Things will slowly creep in and make more and more sense. Rewatch them if as you get more the 2nd and 3rd times as you learn more. There's so much good stuff on youtube
Thank you mate. I just got myself my very first Bass. Well, I dont actually pick it up for another 2 days. I learnt to play the Piano many years ago and this tutorial you just made hit a home run in my mind. Sensational work mate. Cheers.
I use the full number system, wherein in the key of C, C is I, but D is ii, unless you're asking for a borrowed major chord, in which case you would mark it as you have above, with an upper case II. It adds much more depth to the numbers and allows for faster chart/form comprehension.
Excellent lesson Scott. This is what bass players really need to know. Sure wish you had a monthly subscription for the bass academy instead of just the yearly rate .
@@graemerobertson5160 It helps you Transpose song btw than using chords. And I know lots of musician that uses these number system instead of saying C-G-a-F they say 1-5-6-4 so if the singer would want to transpose you could transpose it easier.
@@bearmdfl2186 It doesn't help me transpose at all. I learned to do that by understanding how to shift root notes. In North East England hardly anyone has heard of it, let alone uses it. The amount of effort you have to put into understanding it far outweighs just quoting the names of the chords. And it falls down if the chords don't fit the C major scale.
@@graemerobertson5160 if it does not fall down in the key then you can always use (b, #) for example 7b-6-1 or 6#-6-1 plus you could also use (7, dim, sus, etc.)
@@bearmdfl2186 I don't know what you mean if it does not fall down? If it doesn't fall down then it is just majors and minors and the 7th . If it does fall down why bother with it? How would you categorise I am the Walrus by the Beatles by this system?
@@bassplayinfool this is music theory. It's a guide to resolving chord progressions. For example if you started a progression on the iii you can go just about anywhere from there and it sounds right, but the 2nd and 1st chords usually want to resolve to the root. I've never seen this, but I have seen flow charts. The music theory is great for playing a song you have never heard before, not just composing. For example if I hear someone play a V chord, I can almost predict that it will either resolve to the root chord, or go to the IV chord. If someone plays a iii chord, I might think that it's either going to the next chord up, the IV, or the root chord, or to the 6 based on just knowing the theory, and listening to how other songs go. The melody sometimes guides you to where the next chord is.
@@harmono8766 Ahhhh, it's a one of those chordal resolution flow charts. Gotcha. I totally see it now. Reminds me slightly of the harmonic planetary system that Randy Halberstadt lays out in "Metaphors for the Musician."
I just finished watching all of your "Ask Scott" videos. I really enjoyed watching them. I noticed that you haven't done an "Ask Scott" video in some time. Could you bring "Ask Scott" back, maybe on a monthly or bimonthly basis? I really like hearing the questions and concerns that other bass players have. Your answers in those videos have answered a lot of the question that I have had myself. Thank you for all you do.
Wow Greg so glad i came across this video have been trying to understand this system out of a book and just could not get it but Now!, have got it and understand the basic concept of it. and can now build on that, onwards and upwards now many thanks great job.
Please help ! Greg at 6minutes 40 seconds you say in the key of D, picking numbers for your 2nd line you say 6 4 6 A7 but for your 3rd space 2nd line you write E7 should that not be B7 if i am wrong please accept my apologies?
Thank you so much, this really makes sense, great to see this being taught in such a fun way, someone who loves it! there lies a musical freedom when you go past the mathematical sound barrier, and knowing your stuff helps to become fluent. Thanks for your great tutorials, I'm a guitarist, who loves the bass of my acoustic guitar, and your videos have helped rekindle the bass in my playing. Knowing that there is more always inspires. Anyways thanks again!
He's doing the same exact thing here, but writing out the letters so that you can figure it out. For example. if you say play "2m7" without the context of the key you are in it means nothing. So if you are in the key of C you would play Dm7 if you play the 2m7. He's showing you how to translate 2m7 to an actual chord name in any given key. The top of the chart is the numbers, then the next row is the chord value for those numbers, then he's writing a chord progression based on the numbers. He probably should have written out "IIm7=Dm7". The Roman numerals are used to avoid confusing chord roots with the actual notes of the chord, ie. a Cmaj7 chord has the 7 indicating the chord value, so they write roman numerals for the chord. Also I prefer lower case for the minor chords.
You seem like you know what you’re talking about lol. When he shows us the 1-6-2-5 in the key of C and starts playing it do we use C, A minor, D minor, and G as root notes and play a pattern using 1-6-2-6 based off of that?
I remember sitting in with a lot of different bands at benefits and so forth when the lead guitar player or the keyboard player would yell across the stage the number sequence and the count. Knowing the type on music being played I could do the song having never heard it. Other information was given such the intro. So it would go something like :"It's a 1-4-5 in A with a turn around intro". (Nashville)
That off the top of your head example you did around time marker 7:53 and ending on 8:00 was seriously beautiful. I can't believe you did that on the spur of the moment. That sounded great with the root and with the chords. I would love to hear you take that and combine both root notes and some chords to make a piece of music. That truly was better than 90 % of the crap that's on Top 40 radio....
I appreciate this video my dude. I’ve been playing bass for over 30 years and I consider myself an intuitive player. I am musically illiterate. When I play, people assume I know theory based on my skill level. I don’t consider myself to be one that plays music, but rather allows music to move through me. Someone I know really wants me to learn theory so I can understand what I already do naturally. I play music for expression not as a career. My concern is will learning theory suck the life out of the reason why I play in the first place
Those chords can also be played all major: Commander Cody's Down to Seeds and Stems (major scale chords) AC/DC's Live Wire (minor scale chords) Eddie Floyd's Knock on Wood (minor and relative major scale chords)
You seem like you know what you’re talking about lol. When he shows us the 1-6-2-5 in the key of C and starts playing it do we use C, A minor, D minor, and G as root notes and play a pattern using 1-6-2-6 based off of that? Using the major scale ?
Musicians logic: "the scales, the chords, it all ties into the number system" .... Let's use notation based on letters! ... Let's use 8 letters because we have 11 notes!
'Let's use 8 letters because we have 11 notes!' well, e.g. Eb if also D# so makes use to use 8 letters... also doesn't mathematicians (and pretty much everyone) use 10 digits (0-9) despite having infinite numbers?
@@foljs5858 i mean you can't really compare the natural number series to 12 tone equal temperament since the latter is finite and cyclical and the former is the complete opposite
It's seven letter names against twelve notes. A very stupid system but it's the system we have. As humans, we're always committed to maximum suffering.
Thank you so much! I've always been afraid to ask what do people mean when all they talk about is fifths and sevenths and I have no clue haha Con's of not going to music school I guess but thankfully we have Scott
Love it. I’ve been a guitar player for 20 years, I’m just starting on bass in the last year. This has been a great lesson, and I’m also enjoying the slap tutorials as well.
Hey sir great knowledge and understanding of your music for your self. But can you please explain or break down how you go about playing chords in this system? Like you was doing in this lesson please sir
Does this work in a minor key? I’m imagining it does but are there different chords (minor vs. major, etc. in the same or different pattern) in a minor key? This question probably makes no sense the way I wrote it.
Greetings Scott, Thanks for the tips but was wondering whether it would be possible to explain when one should play an actual cord vs Root note or Arpeggios while playing a song.
Tony Lam It's the introduction to the idea of half-diminished or fully diminished, which requires the 7th. (Half diminished is the m7b5 style, fully diminished is a b7 again, or a bb7 in total.)
This is true for any MAJOR scale. The positions of major/minor/diminished chords changes as you cycle thru the modes. THAT is a lesson worth giving. Might be worth talking about "stacking thirds" as well. Yes, Scott, I know what I'm talking about is more helpful for guitar and keyboard players, but it helps bass players, too. You don't have to always lay down the root notes to hold the groove together -- alternate tones live in those stacked thirds, as well as your arpeggios. Still, an excellent lesson.
This was a great lesson... but I'm so new, I don't understand when you did the Dmaj scale, you threw in a couple of # on F and C... Like I said, I probably should know this already. I have my first bass guitar being shipped as we speak. Cheers! Maybe I should enroll in your course! Hahahahaha...There's that.
The major scale is (Whole step = W & Half step =H), W-W-H-W-W-W-H. So when you start on a D, the first whole step is E, then to take another whole step you get to F#. (Then half step to G and so on.) This will apply with whichever note you start on.
Yes, indeed it's how it is taught in college music theory. It goes way back to figured bass, which is still somewhat in use today by musicians playing baroque music.
Don Bernhard Thumbs up fer college learnin'. Haven't read figured bass in almost 15 years, but I bet I could still at least hatchet-job my way through it.
@scott's Bass Lessons, Dear sir, would you please do a review or check on the Harley Benton "Violin and semi-acoustic" Basses? Would help a lot of young bass players I guess.
Stupid Question. How do you know when to play, what number sequence? Also, does it matter were you play the 1365 in the key of F on the fret board? What if your doing an original song and not sure of the chords guitar is playing?
Is there a lesson that teaches the nomenclature? I get what a seventh is, but what makes a "major 7" or "minor 7" or a "flat 5" or a "dominant 7"? I'm missing some key info here.
I swear this guy is one of James McAvoy's characters in Split.
He always reminded me of James a lot! Lol
Bro that's what I always said lmfao
Strangely, I finally saw Split the other day and now I'm seeing people make reference to it EVERYWHERE. 🤔

I am still confused but i wanna learn so bad omg . I play by ear well but i NEED to master THIS cause i NEED IT
This has some pre-requisites. You need to know what a minor, major and 7th is, what makes up a chord. What a scale is. Do you know this stuff?

But you don't need it! Scotty has vastly over rated the importance of what is essentially a very limited chord sequence categorisation tool.
You should be pretty good by now. Unless you gave up

Thanks for the tips but was wondering whether it would be possible to explain when one should play an actual cord vs Root note or Arpeggios while playing a song.
enjoyed the lesson on mastering the number system
m7b5 is a chord with 4 notes, while B diminished is just 3 chord B-D-F, both intervals are minor 3rd.
