This will definitely help with that Ward. I also have a video specifically about 'avoiding' the roots and getting beyond them that you might find helpful: ua-cam.com/video/nsqCSDxJUcQ/v-deo.html
This is exactly what I am working on, building confidence over the bass neck on spotting guide tones over jazz tracks. I am focusing on thirds only for a while with low metronome and playing tunes over all keys, will move to seventh when I'll feel more comfortable.
Very informative and well layed out. If I'm understanding correctly, it requires one memorize: (1) notes in the key/scale/mode, (2) quadads for each note in the scale. I doubt I could remember all that. Even less likely that I could recall it quickly enough while playing. Is there a good way to "map" this (e.g., relative fret positions), that might also be able to be transposed?
It's because they are Major 7 chords, so they need to have the major 7th. Ab is the minor 7th above Bb and Db is the minor 7th above Eb and if you used those notes over those major chords, you'd end up with dominant 7 chords instead of major 7 chords. I've got a video about all that stuff right here: becomeabassist.com/advanced-chord-symbols/
This is a game changer for me. I've plateaued until this little revelation. Thanks, Kp
Excellent! This is something I'v e been wondering about, that is how bassist find something without using the roots every time.

Great as always! I love how you don't hide your mistakes. Makes me feel better knowing even the pro players sometime make mistakes.
Haha! I'm definitely far from perfect.
Thanks luke. I subscribed to your BAB a long time ago and slept on my bass for quite some time. Now im catching up on all the lessons
Well welcome back! Hope you find what you're looking for in the lessons!

Really appreciate how you leave in the small errors
These videos really have me wanting to pick up my bass again.
I appreciate this channel. This video gets straight to the point.
Thank you! Subscribed and turned on the notification bell. I have learnt 11 bass lines today because of lukes videos.

Why is the seventh of Bbmaj7 an A and not Ab/G# and the seventh of Ebmaj7 a D and not Db/C#?
It's because they are Major 7 chords, so they need to have the major 7th. Ab is the minor 7th above Bb and Db is the minor 7th above Eb and if you used those notes over those major chords, you'd end up with dominant 7 chords instead of major 7 chords.
