@Fkalich - this one is about harmonization and shows you how to build chords in one key so its the same theory for guitar too..
fkalich11th July 2008up to now I have ignored bass lessons, but you know, kind of fun to listen to. I think I will go back and check them all out. and maybe I might learn something I can apply to six string, who knows? This one reminded me of a few songs, one Beatles, another that I could not exactly place.

I also like how you explain your therminology in a way that is suitable for all levels.
Example: "What this means is that we are going to build chords on scale degrees using only notes from that scale."
So if you have problems understanding what "harmonizing" is about - for this lesson you can think of it as connecting the "dots" in a scale and turn the connected "dots" to chords! Good luck!

Hello GMC!
-In todays lesson we are going to harmonize the major scale using triads. What this means is that we are going to build chords on scale degrees using only notes from that scale. This is a very important lesson for those who want to be more proficient at building bass lines - know your chords!
-We are going to utilize our knowledge about triads so if you haven't check out my lesson series on that topic before starting this one.
-We are going to harmonize the G major scale using triads in this lesson.
Key: G
Tempo: 120 bpm
Time signature: 4/4
Tuning: standard
Difficulty: beginner/intermediate
Equipment I've used for getting this sound was: Peavey Cirrus bass with active soapbar pickups, equal mix of both of them with added bass and treble on onboard eq - then going to the nemesis (eden) amp with a 1x15" and slightly added bass and treble there (at 1 o'clock position).
Feel free to ask me any questions in the lesson feedback and in my instructor board at forum.
Enjoy and I hope you'll have a lot of fun playing this one!
