Mrblomme Mtp Thread - June Options

[Bogdan Radovic]

Hello MrBlomme!

Welcome to the new phase of bass mtp. Since you already had mtp, I'll check back topics and we'll continue where we left of. Tell me a bit about your goals and how you feel about your bass playing currently. Do you want to focus on something specific this time or wish to do a "bass course" type of mentoring we did before?

I'll post your first assignment tomorrow (1. june).
We'll have 4 assignments (weekly assignments that require audio and/or video submission) each month and a REC take that will be suitable to techniques/concepts we covered during that month!

Keep in mind that its not hard to keep up with the program, but in order not to fall back - you should work on assignments as soon as they are posted and record/write assignments on time. When you do an assignment I will immediately post a new one so you can leave time for monthly REC take recording.

Let me know if you have any questions and I'm looking forward to working with you!

Ok I can consider the previous assignments recording you sent as your submission.

Here is the new assignment:

Weekly assignment 2:

Using Root Notes and 5ths In Improvisation

Lesson to practice:

Root and 5ths lesson : https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Bass_F..._Start_Jamming/
Practice video parts 3 and 6 of the lesson.

Goal : To learn what are root notes and 5ths and how they relate to chords.

Purpose : Learn how you can use root notes and 5ths effectively when improvising your bass line.

Instructions :

I want you to read all the text material of the lesson and to jam along its demo tune. All the time think about which chord is playing in the backing track when doing this. You want to get comfortable on following written chord progression and finding appropriate root notes and 5ths on the bass neck instantly.

Requirements :

Post updates on your practice daily if possible, describing what have you done.
As the weekly assignment, I want you to record improvisation agaist the same backing track and progression you had for the previous assignment. I want you to record in audio (or video if you want) your playing over the backing track by using ONLY ROOT and 5th notes. Play those roots and 5ths notes in any rhythm you want.

Deadline to complete: 14th of June

Good luck and remember to post your questions and progress!
