6-String Bass Exercise - Major Triads in 12 Keys - Bass Practice Diary - 6th October 2020
Last week I featured three exercises for 5-string bass, this week I've got an exercise for 6-string bass. In this exercise, I'm playing major arpeggios. It's fairly typical, when practicing exercises like this, to go through 12 keys. However, I wanted to make this exercise a bit more interesting than just playing twelve major triads one after the other.
The Exercise
I've added an extra element by playing the triads as a five note grouping. Rather than playing root, 3rd, 5th, root, I'm playing 3rd, root, 3rd, 5th, root. The five note grouping adds a timing element, causing the chord changes to alternate between happening on and off the beat.
The triads move in fifths, but in the opposite direction to the conventional cycle of fifths. Rather than going from C to F, I'm going from C to G, up a fifth rather than down a fifth. The reason for this is that I'm playing the major 7th note at the end of each arpeggio, but that major 7th note is then being treated as the major 3rd of the next arpeggio. This leads to the sequence of fifths that you see in the exercise.
I have enjoyed your six string lessons. Definitely hoping you continue to make more six string lessons as many people do not cover this.
Thanks Lester. I'm planning to carry on making 6-string videos. So there should be plenty more on the way. 👍🎶
Wouldn't it be easier to write this exercise in 5/8 time? What is your opinion?
Like the way you say: "its normal but its boring"... Cool excercize and bass have one too!
Lol.. thanks. I almost edited that out, but then I thought, it was just what I was thinking at that moment, so I left it. 👍🎶

How long would one have to play to get this with some ease
Many thx for you bass lesson sir
Damn, Ben Afleck sure knows how to play bass.
I have a 6 string bass.
Its my first one
I have a question
What do you call the strings
What are the letters?
Hi. In standard tuning, the middle four strings are tuned like a 4-string bass EADG. The 6-string has an extra low string and an extra high string. The low string is tuned to B like a 5-string bass and the high string is tuned to C. Would you like to try a free 30 minute bass lesson with me on Zoom. I can help get you started.
Definitely but it has to be later on today.
