Practicing arpeggios on bass

[LesliesDemos]

Not a comment about this video specifically, but in general. I love your vids. However, I have a hard time making the connection between music theory and actual songs. I think it would be extremely helpful to analyze the bass lines of an actual song. For exmpl, Walking on the Moon (Police). What's the key? How do the chords fit into the key? What is the bass line doing (from the theory perspective)?

[TheLifeofmusic8]

you have a guitar?!??!?!?! YOU TRADER :O

[coakdog]

What do you call the picking technique you utilize in your walking jazz bass example (around 6:50 in the video)? Do you have a lesson about this technique? Thanks

[BaltoFM]

Is that a guitar I see in the background??!! :O

[Saxement]

@BaltoFM Oh my God. So the prophecy is true after all. A master of all stringed instruments will rise up and take over the world. We are doomed.

[Garagistemusic]

Great lesson. So simple but i never would have thought of this.

[brooklynstudio]

what kind of p pick up do you have here? it looks a bit weird

[mthomas73]

excellent video thanks

[woutertron]

Not to nitpick, but why play the Bb flat with your first finger?

[kazodrummer]

thank you for all your vids marlowe!

[revtgl1]

Oops, help me to understand why the b flat is played and not the b in the c maj arpeggio

[x1te]

@revtgl1 The most popular 7th chord is the Dominant 7th, which has a minor 7th note.

[revtgl1]

Marl owe, help me understand why not play the d flat in the arpeggios

[revtgl1]

This is such great information you are sharing, I really like the way you do this

[pirhala]

gotta love the avalon u5...

[2205rebel]

уххх, еще бы кто переводил на русский...

[Nescaferambo]

This was a very useful lesson. Thank you for that.

[inuyashaspet]

I love how in your recent videos, I can hear your voice perfectly, and the amplified bass sound is heard very cleanly. (no clack clack of just the strings)

[xxcrysad3000xx]

I have no idea why I never thought of practicing all the different versions of your standard major, minor, dominant arpeggios. Seems like that'd be immensely useful. Thanks Marlowe!

[nova2007]

What is that on the pickups? tape?

[hasegawamiki]

I need a P bass.

[Annonymus121]

I have a question. How many basses do you have?

[paleceumacolneta]

@Annonymus121 hahah good one! PLZ MARLOWE, ANSWER THIS ONE!

[MarloweDK]

@Annonymus121 The body count right now is about 17 - 18, but some are going soon

[Brucy6666]

@MarloweDK going? as in your selling them? :)))

[Annonymus121]

@MarloweDK Holy crap, I have one.

[steviegorrion]

@MarloweDK Nooo! Keep 'em.

[Gilbert919]

@MarloweDK i would  like to buy any that you want to sell.

[nexusvision]

@MarloweDK LOL you inspired me, 17 or 18, 1 acoustic, one lead, a keyboard and a drumset! See what you did! I hope you are liking my works!

[bassist357]

nice bass

[Bootvi]

Marlow! You're getting better and better in delivering content and lessons. I remember the first video you started talking, you were shy!

I salute you and your video!

[SerberusT]

Tak.

[vsmcax1007]

Just another way to skip up the fretboard..I love it Jaco...oops I mean Marlowe or Thomas or whatever it is you call yourself..can't wait to look at this more closely later...keep these "long session talking lessons" coming man! We've all learned so much from you. You are the greatest teacher! Next stop: Autumn Leaves in all inversions/positions + the overall secret to walking jazz lines! Thanks again Marlowe.

[tbcass]

@vsmcax1007 I'm glad you mention Jaco because he, on his "Modern Electric Bass" video, demonstrates several ways of using arpeggios to move up and down the neck in melodic ways. That video was invaluable in my progress as a bass player. This video is also excellent although sticking to arpeggios for walking bass lines gets boring fast but it is a good starting point.

[asifineededaname]

PLEASE dont rest your basses against a wall & amp like that , it's really bad for the neck and it breaks my heart to see that. as always, i love your playing marlowe

[BDL1991]

@asifineededaname they're in a stand

[lptomtom]

@asifineededaname Anyway, the Beatles (for example, but it's the case with all great bands it seems) did that to all their instruments (and a lot worse), and the Rickenbackers didn't fell apart! A bass neck isn't made out of cardboard, don't worry.

[tylthomas]

@asifineededaname It's not resting against the wall. :)

[SprintingJesus]

I love your lessons. I've been learning bass guitar for about 5 years now, and have found that a combination of private tutoring and your videos have resulted in a huge leap in performance. Thank you so much, and please don't stop making these lessons. Peace out bro.

[bassist13]

Looks like tape to stop the clicking noises you get when the strings hit the pole pieces.

[chhau123]

what kind of pickups is that?

[x1te]

These are great lessons. Very informative, thanks! Have you ever gone into more detail about walking bass lines? It's something I've always been interested in but it seems too advanced for me.

[bezkingAdmins]

What's on top of the pickups? Foam?
