I've been playing bass for 10 months or so and I really appreciate your lessons. I became interested in chordal/chord melody bass guitar playing after discovering Todd Johnson, Stu Hamm, Wooten, Zander Zon and Jeff Berlin. So far I've been watching jazz guitar vids and adopting the techniques for a 4 string bass guitar, and working on simple songs like "Silent Night" and "London Bridge". Your explanations have demystified chord-melody approach for bass for me!
I find it fascinating how sometimes we arrive at concepts intuitively, for example, I love playing with augmented triads and used to find it interesting how all of the inversions have the same shape.
The top note thing I found really interesting.
I'd love to see more videos on theory, specially about tension and resolution, I never quite got that...
very good tutorial! great player and teacher. keep on the good work. thank you!
