Might put this on ebay, wise choice ?

Sound Samples Are Now UP !

Love to hear how it goes , I'll be taking a jump to grade 8 in the coming months. It's just the ear test and improvisation bits that baffle me

Is this the one that has the grade piece 'All funked up' ?

Wow the market is so slow !

Oh go on !

Complete Bargain !

Knowing the interval IMO.
You can't do much with absolute pitch you can't do with excellent relative pitch. Know what a root - 5th or a 5th - root sounds like. Then (as long as you know the rhythm) you can come up with about 20 billion country basslines... as long as you have chord changes for comparison. I'm no expert. But what I have found hugely helpful in theory is the 12 bar blues. Loads of demos online going through the theory, and common variations... you'll know what root - 4 - 5 sounds like in no time.

There are other options.

That's great ! I can recognise the easier ones so to say, major/minor third, fifth. Guess it's just repetition of the intervals untill they stick in your head.

It really is just knowing what the note sounds like even before you play it

Ok guys,


So everyone can make great lines, improvisation in their heads but it's when your trying to convey it onto the fretboard. I can't do it straight away but after a couple of minutes I can play the line that's circling my head, that's after a lot of trial and error.

Anyone know a way in which I can speed this process so less mistakes are made and I can play idea after idea ? One of the most common things I get told from friends is 'Interval training', will this actually help me convey ideas onto the fretboard ?

Any inputs great

These basses are 1500+ brand new

Ive always left it to if it sounds good, its good!

But i really need to brush up on the theory side so just thought why does this work, theoretically?

And yes ! thats where I actually started practicing chord tones

Im going to be posting many dumb questions on the theory section with the things I dont "get", so bare with me !

Playing brickhouse and it is in the key of G major/ E minor but also it was written A dorian. If im correct that is A b c d e f# g A.

A lick i created was a run down (sixteenth note pattern) which consisted of G(12th) F# E D C and then landing on the A of the 7th fret.

What Ive been reading into recently is Chord Tones. So its got A C E G which are the chord tones. It also contains the F# which brings A dorian scale out ?

Is this why it works or am i speaking complete rubbish ?

If theres anything you guys want to add, go for it

Thanks guys for all the advice
what i've managed to acquire is "reading contemporary bass rhytmns" which might be the name of the pdf, not too sure.
Alot of reading and also great practice for recognising pitches on the stave.
Its going to take a while reading perfect but I'll give it a go
