???? Unlock Your Bass Phrasing: Think Chords, Not Just Scales! #shorts

To play better phrases, we need to spend more time with chords instead of just scales. I love scales, they’re great for traveling between notes and creating connections. But the real magic happens in the chords.

I always focus on things like alternating secondary dominants, tritone substitutions, and retrofitting II-Vs. This way, my brain gets used to thinking in terms of multiple chords, not just one. It takes time, so be patient!

I’m playing over a I-II-III-IV progression in C. Next time you see a D minor 7 coming up, try thinking of A7, Eb7 or E minor. You’ll be surprised at the new possibilities this opens up!

???? Got a question? Fire off a DM or post in the comments, I like chatting with all of you about bass. And a massive shout out to the bass players rocking my ebooks, I couldn’t do it without you. Stay groovy. Marco ????
