Thank you for demonstrating these bass chords. I've definitely heard bass players adding chord stuff to tracks. I would to see you break down the bass part on Daniel Lanois 'the maker'. I think its two bass parts playing a harmony.

Hey Bro...can you breakdown all the bass vernacular??? Like...Riff, Lick, Modes, transitions so on and ao forth...

[@carsonrogers09]

What a baller ⛹️‍♂️

[@jonor9756]

Excellent session Travis! Very helpful.

[@andrewhertzberg6889]

This is useful. The thing I keep in mind is that if you are using such high notes to form the chord then you can easily end up playing the same notes as a guitarist. So it can lead to redundancy or muddiness when they overlap. It sounds good solo, but isn’t always that useful in a full band.

[@JessePlautz]

Thanks so much! I don’t see the jam along songs in the description… am I missing something?

[@danielkarsten1579]

What was the performance you showed at the beginning of the video?
