Hello GMC!

-This lesson is in D major key. Check out my "Harmonizing Major Scale part 2" lesson to learn the theory knowledge needed to build 7th chords in one key.

Key: D
Tempo: 120 bpm
Time signature: 4/4
Tuning: standard
Difficulty: beginner/intermediate

Equipment I've used for getting this sound was: Peavey Cirrus bass with active soapbar pickups, equal mix of both of them with added bass and treble on onboard eq - then going to the nemesis (eden) amp with a 1x15" and slightly added bass and treble there (at 1 o'clock position).

Feel free to ask me any questions in the lesson feedback and in my instructor board at forum.

Enjoy and I hope you'll have a lot of fun grooving this one!
