The Only 4 Arpeggios You Need To Play (Most) Jazz Standards

If you want to know how to play jazz standards on bass then you need to know how to play chord tones (arpeggios). This lesson will show you four that you see very commonly in jazz standards:

1. Major Seventh Arpeggio
2. Minor Seventh Arpeggio
3. Dominant Seventh Arpeggio
4. Minor Seventh Flat 5 Arpeggio

These four arpeggios will teach you a crazy amount about how music is harmonised and how you can make up fantastic bass lines.

Amazing to find that in another dimension, Oscar de la Hoya was an English bassist!

After 2 years of following many different Bass tutors/players & trying to learn bass/music theory, rather than just learning songs by fret numbers (which i do as well) i have finally found your website Dan. I find your relaxed, most informative no bullshit approach to teaching, is helping me move ahead so much quicker now. (played in band as 16 y o, picked it up again at 68 )

There are a ton of arpeggios for bass here on YouTube. This is by far the best presented of all of them.

You just blew my mind as I move my bass playing and instruction into more jazz, you just brought something I hadn’t even thought of yet. Correct me if I’m wrong please, but it seems you are beginning an arpeggio on a root but then the 3rd or 5th is moved to a different position on the fretboard to complete the arpeggio... mind blown. And it was too obvious. And then you discuss and illustrate starting an arpeggio on the 3rd, or 5th instead of the root and practicing that concept until it’s fluid. It seems like this is unlocking being a creative musician rather than a perfect robotic, boring representation of root based musicianship. Mind blown again. Thank you so much for your instruction Dan. I’m now going to watch everything you have done! And practice and explore options all over the fretboard.

Fantastic lesson! And that Ibanez is very beautiful

Another good one Dan, (there's really no bad ones.) It is always good to realize that you know some of these things but only didn't know the technical terms and of course a "Dan's way" of making it easier.
