I love your videos, Anthony! You are a great player and practitioner. I have very similar approaches to development of vocabulary and fluidity to facilitate intuitive playing. I think of it as: well-practiced-all-contingencies-considered-intuitive-emergent-playing. Practice the entire map and iteration of possibilities of solid fundamentals to gain fluidity and authority in delivery, then let your imagination and taste guide the millions of choices you have readily available through muscle memory. I always learn something new to work on, but after playing for 36 years, I also can see the logical truth behind your methods and know how much you are pointing people in the right direction to master the craft. I just hope you know how much we all appreciate you and the time you take to share these gems.
I started playing bass about more than a year ago and hope to continue for the next ten. I managed to play at least an hour a day. Your videos are by far the most honest and helpful that I found for someone who really wants to improve. Maybe that's cruel but if you are not willing to do these kinds of challenges, you will lose a lot of time and eventually give up. I really hope that these triads will help me to have a better technique and a better understanding of my instrument. Thanks.
Thanks Anthony, valuable lesson as usual. So, can you tell me whether it's of any importance to spell out the name of each triad or just refer to it relatively ? So e.g. Cmaj, Dmin, Emin as opposed to Imaj, IImin, IIImin etc. I know that some tutors are very strict on intentionaly spelling out the name of the note. I guess that it makes sense when playing a scale over a single string, but does it have any purpose on this triad exercise ? For the more visually oriented players I feel that there is not much added value in spelling out the names as well, provided that one has a reasonable knowledge of the fretboard to start with. Thanks again, cheers VJ
Just as Ab can be both major and minor in C harmonic minor it can also be diminished (Ab-Cb/B-Ebb/D)! Never thought of that before until now. Great video I think I'll attempt this challenge as I have been practising less lately

YES! 🙌

Anthony, ingenious approach to single position triads in scales, good to see you again
AMEN
Always crushing it! Hope you’re well, busy and enjoying everything dude!
hey now good to see you back with another video lesson
thanks, that was a really good idea one scale a month
Excellent lesson. Thank you. Anthony could you please make a video talking about creating beautiful melodies on sequences?
Anthony, it’s been a minute. I love your videos, always something good to think about for my own playing. Enjoyed seeing the old Squier. All the best!
Great lesson!! Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge.
Thanks👍

Hi Anthoni!
Do you recommend a specific tempo to practice?
Just as Ab can be both major and minor in C harmonic minor it can also be diminished (Ab-Cb/B-Ebb/D)! Never thought of that before until now. Great video I think I'll attempt this challenge as I have been practising less lately
Absolutely! I forgot that one in the moment 😅 happy practicing!
