How to play a bass line through a chord progression

Check out more videos at www.talkingbass.net This video is the second online bass lesson in the series on bass line construction. The previous lesson focused on doubling the bass drum and this lesson introduces the use of chord tones to create some interest in the line. Many players often wonder about how to break away from those root note based lines and how to create more melodic bass lines that weave through a progression. Chord tones (or arpeggios) are the first step on the road to great bass lines. This free online bass lesson teaches you the three most common chord types (maj7, m7, 7) and shows a few ways to incorporate the chord tones into your basic root note, drumbeat based groove.
