I've seen videos where he describes the 7th as part of the arpeggio, but an arpeggio is normally the root, third, and fifth. It's only the arpeggio if the chord being arpeggiated is a 7 chord (maj, min, dominant). But you probably know that.
@mikeymacaque yeah. it depends whether the chord is a maj 7 or min 7. therefore it adds a little spice to it. because The bass emphasizes on the 7th. but could sound pretty bad considering its also a half step from the 1 which we all know sounds... not so good haha. so be cautious when adding a seventh. but you yourself already know this. so why do I keep typing? lol
It's ok, two guys with some theory knowledge jabbin' jaws, or fingers in this case haha.
My favorite time to use a 7 (outside of a maj, min, or dom chord) is either in passing from the V to the I, or from the I to the vi (in a major key). The 7 always creates a nice amount of tension without turning into a Coltrane sound, haha.
But this is bluegrass, if you're thinking too much, you're doing it wrong. Feel it first, analyze it after, haha.
@mikeymacaque ahaha! totally agreed on =) I have to start experimenting more in my practice sessions instead of thinking of what I could do. I should be more spontaneous! I have to try using the seventh when traveling down to the I from the V and from the I to the VI never tried them. although.. Im not too much a bluegrass player. Im a mixed genre Guy! thank you for the talk!
@TH3B3A57 No problem man. Yeah those walks I described can be used in jazz, pop, rock, what ever really. Good thing about bass is there is no limit to what you play within a genre. I only just started bluegrass this year and am loving, but I actually grew up playing reggae and punk.
Bluegrass could be thought of as Country's Jazz, similar to traditional Jazz being related to Rock. Just sit in on a BG jam session with really talented instrumentalists some time and listen to the various ways they play.

This video is definitely not named right. Here's a very common country bass line that will carry you a ways in a bluegrass jam. The numbers are Nashville numbers.
15 (6 times) 5252 1515 4141 15 52 1515
That little ditty there will get you though the following songs as well as many (MANY) more
Careless Love
Crawdad Song
Mama Don't Allow
New River Train
Rollin' in my Sweet Baby's Arms
She'll be Coming Around the Mountain
Once you hear that bass line, you'll hear it a lot.
This is an upright bass and I s'pose this could help someone learn Bluegrass Bass, but this video has nothin' to do with Bluegrass Bass.....basically all you really need to use in Bluegrass Bass is the root, the fifth and every now and then use a run usually usin' the third for that.
@crumikins lol you think so, it alot harder then your rockabilly and metal, country player couldn't come close to a bluegrass player, jazz player be lost in the dark as well.
Im in definete agreement, Im an upright bass player, and Bluegrass is really alot more simple than they are making it out to be, and its more fun than he's showing how it can be too!!!!
play with your heart, you will know if it doesnt sound right if your a true player

wow, Never use the seventh unless the rest of the band uses the seventh also. adding a seventh to a chord is a risky move. use at your own risk =)
