My fellow bass players,

The winner of this month's poll was tapping technique, so here's a tapping etude to start of the month!

This one develops your ability to play basic major and minor chords. There's also some more complex chords near the end including an inversion and a minor-major 7th chord (aka "The James Bond chord").

I'd recommend going near the end of the video first and just listen to how it sounds at full tempo so you have a vision of what you're aiming for. If you're struggling, just take it one or two bars at a time!

Let me know if you have any questions or feedback and I'll make sure to respond ASAP!

Thanks for coming here and practising with me, have a great weekend and I'll see you in the next video!

Charles

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE CHORD LABELS!!!!!!! I've been trying to breakdown the chords for each piece of music you've released here so that I can understand what's being played and why. Having the chords labeled makes learning and understanding the piece SOOOOO much easier. I'm also trying to solidify those intervals in relation to the neck so I know what I'm playing instead of just memorizing a pattern. That seems to be more meaningful, and I think, useful. Would you be so kind as to continue to label the chords on all your pieces of sheet music moving forward? Or perhaps, in the video breakdown of the music, just tell us verbally what chord is being outlined in each section? That kind of Theory Breakdown is super important to me and I'm sure that your other students would also REALLY appreciate it.

Ralyks I couldn't agree more with your comment about providing the chord names with the practice videos as I am also searching for the theory behind everything being played and noticing what you mentioned I've been practicing this piece with just retaining the patterns I am playing then I downloaded the tab pdf and noticed the chords are there so I started to break down what chords are being played and from the first measure we are fretting an F# root on the 9th fret of the A string and a C# fifth on the 11th fret of the D string then with our tapping finger we are tapping an A octave minor third on the 14th fret of the G string which makes this an F#m chord : the next chord we are fretting an A root on the 12th fret of the A string and an E fifth on the 14th fret of the D string then we are tapping a C# octave major third on the 18th fret of the G string making this an A major chord because we are tapping the major third this time and not the minor third By visually seeing the chords written out I noticed that these are moveable shapes all around the neck so if you just keep that shape with your two fingers that are playing the root and fifth and on the next string down skip 2 frets and tap the fret you have a minor chord on any root you choose then to make it a major chord skip 3 frets and you'll be tapping the major 3rd but It would've took me longer to realize this without seeing the chords written out Please Charles demystify all of this confusion and set us on an even wider mind opening adventure by adding the chord symbols to all of your practice videos, that is of course if you're able to without too much trouble and if not we all completely understand as you are providing so much for us as it is
