The StudyBass Note Choice Pyramid

In this lesson block I will give you an understanding of how all 12 notes work in a bassline. You will learn there are 3 types of notes: Chord Tones, Scale Tones, and Chromatic Tones. Then you will learn when to apply which ones.

The lessons in this block are a huge missing link in most bass teachings. Often you are told: "just play this scale." That's only part of the story. These lessons should help you demystify why some notes work in a bassline and others don't.

Note: This is the most important lesson block on StudyBass. I urge you to study it well. Come back to it as often as it takes for it to sink in.
