The Wooten brothers did a drum demo in Huntsville Al when I was in high school. Vic was mainly there to assist his brother but he pretty much stole the show. I bought a bass a week later

[Dandroid]

Whoa. I've been playing bass for what feels like 100 years or so...never saw/heard any of this. This man is BRILLIANT! Well done Travis Dykes! Thanks for the lesson.

Ive been playing bass for years and never knew what an arpeggio was. I play by ear and feel. Never knew what mode or an inversion was. I basically let my fingers go without thinking. Now after watching your videos, I can put two and two together and create something even more meaningful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world. Aloha from Hawaii

❤❤❤ best free course on the internet. Thanks Mr Travis

[carlosdjeagbo]

I've watched a lot of videos on appeggios but this one is the best so far. God bless you Travis.

Most usable Arpeggios video I’ve ever seen! I’ve heard teachers touting the uses of arpeggios for decades now and every time I try to use them to make music it never seems musical. The back half of this video is exactly what I needed to hear. Great job! Keep it up!

[katelynseng]

this is 1 of the best lesson i've watch here on youtube, most of the lessons like this are scales and modes, yah they also teach patterns but this is something more easier to understand. Great Job Subscribed and like!

I read about chordal tones and developing your bass lines around them.. a long time ago in one of those old standard great bass books (we used to have to learn from standard pro bass literature in the early 2000s before YouTube).. but it wasn’t until years later when I started playing chords while composing with bass that I realized exactly what that ment. You will naturally connect the chords by playing each single tone of the chord while filling in space and using melody between the chords… you throw a solid groove behind those single chordal tones and it’s a professional grade bass line. Lightbulb.

Thank you so much Travis for this lesson! 😃 Your concise and clear explanation and execution of triads and chords is impeccable. I’ll definitely be following you my brother! 👍🏻

[EmilianoBaptista]

And you’re doing all of this completely free 🆓. God bless big brother 🙌🏾

[marklowe]

Ive never heard anyone explain this so simple and direct. You're a great teacher as well as a musician!

[thebosicothe]

[RayaRussell]

Watched your video this morning and just downloaded both the beats now. Man, it makes it so much more fun now!! Thankyou.

[fredrickpolite]

Great lesson Travis, you break down the Arpeggios in much detail.👍

[jerryg]

Don’t fall into the trap of learning techniques/scales and then just parse them together randomly. Use your ear. Be musical always. On bass less is more
