Chromatic Approaches For Bass Players: Part 2

Major Triads - Single Chromatic Approach From Above

Hey everyone!

Welcome to part 2 of this new video series on chromatic approaches to triads. In this lesson we’re going to look at approaching the chord tones of the major triad from a single chromatic note above.

The single chromatic above the chord tone introduces a different sort of tension to the chromatic note below, it’s a little more ‘outside’ and as such can introduce a very cool, interesting sound to your bass lines! We’ll look at a variation of the cycle of 4ths exercise we looked at in the previous lesson and I have some new groove examples for you too.

PDF and backing track are available below. Enjoy!!
