The Major's Bass Boot Camp - Session 22

[Major-Minor]

The Major's Bass Boot Camp - Session 22

Getting Started with Music Reading - in G Major

For the time being, we will stick with basic rhythms. All 5 exercises are in 4/4 and only use quavers, crotchets, minims, semibreves and dotted crotchets and minims.

In future sessions we will tackle semiquavers, dotted quavers, triplets, rests, compound time sigs etc etc, but for now lets keep it simple.

So, G major has one sharp - which is F#. As you will see, the key signature at the start of each line has a # sign written around the second line down. The note on this line is normally an F, but the # sign converts it into an F#. This applies to all octaves.

All these pieces are playable in the second position (BG).

As with previous Sessions, we will stick with the "play-along" routine, in 4 bar phrases, each repeated.

An up tempo Latin feel to this one.
