At 9:00, just imagine Steve Harris creating an exercise like this... it'll be called "Seventh chord of a seventh chord" 😅

[TheLmaoGuylml]

Great exercises Charles, thank you for sharing

[beautifulinstrumentals]

You always do such a good job in the presentation of excellent information. I greatly appreciate you attention to avoiding the “uhmms, uhhhs, ” etc. Thank you.

[LadyEsco]

Thank you for the video. It would be helpful in future videos if you could highlight which fingers you are fretting with as it can be difficult to tell at times. 😊

[baldsealion]

Incredible and simple, just the way I like it

[matthewwilson]

I love b5 (flat 5)chords. First encountered them in jazz.

[josephmusicshop]

Then learn the full modes in each key. Then learn them spanning multiple octaves at once. Add some walking bass in your downtime. And you'll be a monster in no time. Thanks Charles!

[szabihanzel]

Hey Charles! I always liked harmonics, but I not really quite get how should I use them in my basslines. Can you make a video about how can we use them?

[TBSSPILOTviews]

Great approach Charles! Love the exercises. I’m predominantly fretless, but these are great intonation/technique challenges also with the theory. Definitely incorporating it into practice! 😎🎸🎶🙏🏼

[seanado]

"Without further ado" is the new "literally".

[zuddie]

This guy is a master bassist musically intelligent if I may

[girmaybass]

Subscribed to your 2nd channel, great new kind lesson I have not seen elsewhere!

[BaronBlackmore]

I wish the tab sheet wasn't in the area with the video playing controls - I can't see what notes are going on

[BodaciousH]

Hey Charles! Random question: what’s your favorite instrument you DON’T play?

[Theta_Beize]

I have tried to watch videos on chords and always been so confused about what they are talking about when they start throwing out fifths and thirds ;~;

[venepskeuten]

kinda sounds like a final fantasy ambient track at the end

[Juasml]

I see these and I don't even play bass. Also, that bass is majestic and I want it
