 what's up guys welcome to another exciting episode of baslady quick one so last week i made a poll asking you guys to choose or to vote for the topic you want me to talk about you want me to teach and the topic you guys majority of you voted for is um how to create instant passing notes to chord progressions which i'm going to talk about today okay so get your base let's get started so guys when it comes to passing notes passing notes are notes that surrounds the main chord progression you are actually going you are actually going to play okay so if i have my key a major okay so let's say i have um i'm on the key of a and my progression a is four then one then five then one right these are my key progression on whatsoever song i want to jam on i want to play okay these are my main chord progression this is what defined that song this is what made that song to go that way okay the progression right now the passing notes remember i'm on the key of a now the passing notes if you notice when picking out the progression or when choosing the progression it was not all the notes of the a major scale i made use of it was not all the notes right they are still the third note is not part of the progression the the sixth note is not part of the progression the seventh note is not part of the progression the one is part of the progression fine and we still have some basic um like the flat five there is not part of the progression the flat six the flat seven is not part of the progression now these are what i will use to serve as my passing notes to the actual main progression i'm going i will be playing i will be touching as the song progress okay now what am i saying is this is my chord for instance this is my chord my progression four one then five five one now my creativity matters now this is my four my three is definitely close to my four so whenever i'm going to my four i should be able to think of instant passing notes would be i'm going to my four i can hit the five and three and land on my four right that's it i'm going to my five or to my one on that chord progression i can do this okay i can do this four three two seven one and land on my seven okay then i'm going to my five i can do i can do that these are the basic instant passing notes i'm talking about okay they are advanced one and which i'm going to show you today so it's a little bit to just be here for and you're waiting on t you go to one to the next chord progression you're waiting on to go to five to the next chord progression then instead of you playing the bass like this instead of you approaching your progression like this why not add those instant passing notes you know that can help spice up your playing your groove okay now this is it so i'm playing to that progression i'm doing these are instant passing notes just play around with them now am i going am i really going outside the bus no i'm not going outside the bus i'm still within the key i'm still on a and every note of the a major scale that is what i'm using to serve as the passing notes yes i'm just playing around with them and the more i play around with them the more my sound or tone come out differently like the way i'm playing the four one five one i'm going you see that is it hope you got this guy this is basically how to create instant passing notes okay you don't need to think of this thing all you need to try to do is um how you make use of those notes that is not your main progression of that song okay you don't need to think about oh what will i do because at this point you are not playing scale you are not subject to play scale you're playing music so you need to be you need to bring out your creativity you need to understand that once you've gotten your progression every other note that is not the conch progression of that song they will always serve as passing notes yeah so the next chord progression you're going to the progression you're going so you need to just figure them out quickly okay like this song the progression i use in giving example i say the four the one the five one these are the basic progression of that song whichever song okay now you need to just know that oh since i have my third my third will definitely fit in whenever i'm going to my fourth my third will definitely fit in landing on my four okay my flat five will definitely fit in will always fit in me going to my five and my seven will always fit in me going to my one okay these are instant passing notes you know so let's move into the advanced passing notes now this advanced passing notes to it will help you sound like more like pro more like you'll feel yourself okay it's something that i created and it's easy to achieve it's easy to play once you pay close attention okay now this is it i'm going to use this song to show you everything i did the progression of the song the key of the song also is on a major okay six five four six five basically this is just the progression okay that is it now the first movement i did there was this that's a cool passing note to my fourth chord i love it that was the first passing note i did going to my fourth chord now this is my key a this is my one two three four five six so i started from the sixth note of the a major scale which is my f sharp the first move i took was this is a minor triad f sharp minor triad f sharp minor triad so i started from f sharp on the key of a of course this is my third you need to just know where your notes are one two three two i still have it again descending one two three two that is it so i ran the f sharp minor triad that is it now let me now even use the f sharp minor triad let me use number okay now the number this is the sixth note of the a major scale this is my sixth note so i'm doing six one three two seven one three four so that was what happened there six one three two seven one three four this is instant passing notes that is it so that was what happened there on the fourth chord so on the fifth chord this is what i did on the fifth chord that was what i did on the fifth chord now you'll be wondering how am i coming up with all these passing notes the way the way they are sounding the way i'm just freely freely creating them it's it's it looks so easy because i'm not really going outside the buzz i'm only using the note of the a major scale to make a statement that's where your creativity comes in just look at them hear them how they sound on that chord progression it's like i'm playing the root note of what the keyboard player is playing they call the keyboard the harmony the keyboard player is playing is bringing out that is exactly what i'm playing the root note i'm only playing the root note when it comes to progression on the base so i'm only playing the root note of that chord that is it so on my parts i should be creative i should do more i should kind of put one or two notes together to give me some sweet tone sound you know that will suit that chord that will match that chord that is it that's the work i have as a bass player because i can continue to do this or through the song okay i can't continue to just be doing this at least i should add some passing notes the instant passing note i created on the 5th chord was this okay one two four three one seven one two five i cannot be 40 okay i cannot miss it i cannot miss my route now imagine i do that same movement i'm doing the flat six imagine i'm creating my instant passing note and and i involve the flat six kind of making that passing note that i'm creating to go off because of the flat six so i shouldn't bother to involve the flat six let me just choose the note that are friendly on that five chord that is what i want to choose imagine i add the flat six imagine i add the flat six this is it it's kind of off to me this fits in because oftentimes your two and your five work together two five okay so me hitting the two last and land on the five it makes more sense okay so that's it that was the instant passing note i created on the five chord okay now on the sixth chord what i did was i repeated it this is what i did i started from the third note of the a major scale okay one two three one two three yeah that is it so i started from the three six seven six then i repeated it again three six seven six okay so that was just the simple and easy passing note i created on the sixth chord okay so i link it i link it to the five okay six four see the way i'm just connecting from this chord progression i'm taking this move this passing note to the next chord progression i'm taking this next passing notes to the next chord progression and everything makes sense okay sound sweet so guys basically this is everything i want to show you on how to start creating instant passing notes okay there are no big day about creating instant passing notes i believe you got one or two things here passing notes are easy to create you know passing notes most times leads you creating a leak you know building leak for yourself yes take this see how you can improvise on it and i believe you'll come out with great results and if you're new to this
