In terms of theory the G7 should also be minor and the F7 should be a maj7. But the funny thing about jazz is that you can stick a dominant 7 chord pretty much anywhere and it still works. Sometimes it works even better.
If we think ionian mode or simply F major, it should be a Dminor7 and Fmaj7. G7 instead of Gmin7 is fine because dominant 7 Chords ar often used as way to get to the Chords it naturally dissolves to, in this case C7 (5th of F so we land at our homebase). Pretty sure James is aware of that and here offers us an easy to approach path to the complicated language of jazz because using the chords he suggested, our second and third finger always stay the same :)

Great video. What bass is that? I love the colour and want one lol
What about open chords? What blues mans use? Is it possible do it with bass guitar?
Open chords will often sound quite muddy… we’ve got a free bass guitar chord pdf on a lesson called how to play chords on the bass guitar on UA-cam
🔥 cool
🙂Thanks!
Another helpful lesson, James, but attempt to get PDF gives message, "Forbidden 403."
Sorry about that Fred... I'd love you to contact us at support@ebassguitar.com so that we can directly send you the PDF.
Is the backing track available
The backing track is in the backing track vault and is available for Bass Lab Plus members free
Ok, maybe the title was too much optimistic, but great lesson nonetheless ❤❤❤❤
Shouldn't the D7 chord be a minor chord?

Absolutely dominants can often be substituted in… and you’ll get the descending tritone patterns which sound great!
@@ebassguitar Can be substituted in what?
Love the content, but why choose a chromatic approach note up to root chord only the first measure.
Just ease of fingering…
Fraud! This video is 10 minutes long! I demand a refund.
The cheques in the post ;-)
As a conservatory trained bassist i can confirm hes wearing the mask from point break
Thanks for sharing your perspective. Which conservatoire did you go to?
Great tutorial ! Thanks.
