5 How to practice arpeggios (L#,, ) Your Action Plan Arpeggios (aka chord tones) are one of the, if not the most important thing you can ever practice to get your bass playing really COOKING ON GAS! First of all, it's important that we understand what arpeggios are. Simply put, arpeggios are chords played one note at a time. Now imagine if a guitar player didn't know any chords. It would be disastrous, right? Well the same is true with bass players. Instead of playing chords, bassists create bass lines using the notes of the chord played one note at a time. That's why the notes of an arpeggio are called 'chord tones'. If a bass player doesn't know the arpeggios and how to create bass lines using them, they can be compared to a guitar player that doesn't know any chords. They are that important! Copyright 20 Scott s Bass Lessons

6 1. Work on each arpeggio type one at a time. So for instance you could spend one week working on major 7th arpeggios making sure you can play them in at least 6 different keys, and all areas of the neck. After that move onto the minor 7th arpeggios, dominant arpeggios, half diminished arpeggios and finally diminished arpeggios. Using some sort of backing track underneath the arpeggios can help give the notes of the arpeggios some context. I tend to record a sustained chord (around 5 minutes for each chord type and key) on a synthesizer. 2. Start using chord progressions with my continuous arpeggio exercise (discussed within the video tutorials). Start with a simple 4 bar chord sequences such as major II V I's, minor II V I's, I V II V's etc. Be sure to practice them in once position at a time and one key at a time. For instance you could take a II V I in C major and practice it in all positions of the neck for a week. Using these in-depth exercises over longer periods of time is what will make a huge difference to your bass playing. The more laser focused you can get, the better!. When you're learning other people s bass lines you should start analyzing why they work. Things such as; what chord tones have been used to create the bass line? When you start to understand how people are constructing their bass lines it will make it so much easier for you to start constructing your own. Copyright 20 Scott s Bass Lessons

7 4. Once you can play shorter exercises (see step 2) it s time to use full chord progressions. Jazz standards are fantastic for these exercises, as they tend to have many chord types within one song. Pick a jazz standard such as Autumn Leaves and practice using my continuous arpeggio exercises over the entire chord progression one position at a time. I recommend concentrating on each position for around 1 week so you start to really see the chord tones one the fingerboard. Remember. The more laser focused you can be on one particular exercise, the faster you will progress as a bass player. Scott Devine Copyright 20 Scott s Bass Lessons
