Summary of This Method
As its purpose indicates, this method is designed to demystify chord playing on the bass and make it a true musician's tool. After some practical advice for proper setup (sound, position, articulation, and consistency), you quickly enter a logical progression that guides you step by step toward a more harmonic, complete, and above all more musical playing style.
The first chapter tackles "double stops," in major and then minor versions. Ideal for starting to stack intervals on the bass without losing the instrument's rhythmic role, this step establishes the correct left-hand reflexes and right-hand precision, while maintaining an immediately usable groove sound.
The method then moves on to triads: three-note chords (major, minor, diminished). You learn how to place and make them sound in various contexts, to color your lines while keeping a solid foundation. The following chapter further deepens the vocabulary with tetrads: four-note chords (7, maj7, m7, m7b5), essential for navigating current styles and understanding the harmonic language of modern bassists.
Finally, a last chapter leads you toward harmonization, to better connect chords, functions, and progressions. Each concept is reinforced with specific exercises and fully musical examples, to avoid the pitfall of "all technique": here, the goal is to achieve expressive, precise playing that is directly applicable in rehearsal, in the studio, or on stage.
The included support offers audio files (mp3) and video files (mp4). The videos show the grooves as they should be played, at normal speed then in slow motion, while the audio playbacks allow practice at two different tempos, so you can play the proposed lines and grooves at your own pace.
