You sound exactly like Jack Black.

thanks man im really starting to understand how jazz works now and im loving it!

[ferjazz250391]

Man i have a question, the tuning of upright bass is the same of the 4 string electric bass?

[frcwolf]

@ferjazz250391 Same tuning

[delt01]

Excellent concepts about inverted 5th/4ths. Thanks!

Question about you jazz players: Why do you always call minor seventh simply "minor"?? (like in the example above, your Gmin == G Bb D F, that to me is a Gmin7) ....? Just wondering.

[frcwolf]

@delt01 Gm is just a quick way to refer to Gm7. Jazzers pretty much treat harmony as at least using the 7th by default. Of course you're right, though, technically speaking!

[zonebass]

Well done!!

Which audio tracks do you use to practice?

[frcwolf]

@zonebass Backing tracks are from PlayJazzNow

[zonebass]

@frcwolf thanks a lot man!!

[mikeamonium]

hell ya i like that first bass line

[guitarslim56]

The B-natural is not part of a harmonic substitution; it's a chromatic passing tone (between B-flat and C).

[frcwolf]

You're right, but you can think of it either way since jazz players very often turn the m7 into a dominant 7.

Great lesson!

You should walk us through building a walking line though!

[luthomdod]

[RocketRalf]

Thanks for the lessons! I'm a classically trained musician interested in learning some jazz (particularly the bass). Do you know of any jazz theory literature in the internet that you can recommend?

[kikerboy7]
