All right, so in this example, we've added some more intermediate elements of playing a predictable chord progression. We're just using two chords, and moving back and forth between them. And what this does is it allows us both to express overtop of a structure. And this is the simplest structure you can make as a two chord structure. And when you're doing this at home, you can sort of make it doesn't even matter what the chords are you pick as long as you both agree on what you're going to be playing. It's all you need to do.

So Kenny, won't you tell them a little bit about the course you played and for how long? Well, each chord lasted for two bars, we had the G chord for two, three, then we went to the C chord 23432 bars of G, two bars of C, we get these building blocks and we just keep putting them back and forth. And it's a lot of fun, it's simple, you can always slow it down, if you're not ready for the rhythm or it's moving too fast. And it's always okay to just play the sound and breathe and just listen to it without any rhythm, you know, and, and then left, play the second quarter and that way as a piano player, I could actually just play those chords like that and talk and take a turn exploring his scale notes. In that last example, I was exploring my beginner level melodies you know, using a lot of repetition and trying to stay relaxed.

Yeah. In this example, we'll do an even simpler version where we're going to switch back and forth between the G chord and the C chord. But we're not going to be counting the bars or anything, Kenny is just going to kill me. So I'm going to watch him and when he does gives me a cue, we're just that's going to be the cue, we move to the next chord. Let's have a try. Right.

Keep it as simple as you need to. And as a bass player, the nice thing the bass has a nice little box in the key of G. So you may have heard that I was playing some other notes other than G and C, but I was just using the notes from the G scale. So I was going playing a G and then sometimes just playing a on my own Up to see. And then before going back to G, sometimes I would add a D. and bass gives you this opportunity to sort of give these two places in time and you get to connect them in your own unique way. And you can make variations on them and whether you move up or down creates these feelings of lifting or sinking down. You have a lot of power as a bass player, one of my favorites, you may have heard of band called the police and there was a guy play bass and it was named sting.

Good nickname good rock'n'roll nickname. But he always people used to ask us he was a really good guitar player too. They said, How come you didn't want to play guitar in the police? And he always said because when I play a C, it's a C chord. And if I play a different note, it's not a secret anymore. And he'd like to have the power of of deciding what harmonically because he's the heaviest thing in the universe.

And he's got the most amount of say, and he was the one writing the songs and I always think of that quote, when I'm playing bass. It's really that's a good one. Not a lot of glitz and glamour to playing bass. But in terms of how important it is, it's really important to what's actually happening in the army.
