Bass & Creativity: Chord Colors & Building Harmonic Movement
In this lesson, we’ll see how we can progressively build chord changes, starting from a static modal section and adding more and more modulations and harmonic movement to it while keeping a consistent groove.
Here’s what we cover in the video below:
- 00:16: Dm groove
- 01:01: Adding BbM7 within
- 01:57: Adding a 3rd chord and a 1st modulation (Dm aeolian to dorian) Dm|BbM7|G7|Dm
- 03:54: Keeping Bb, changing its 7th Dm|Bb7
- 04:55: Keeping G, changing its 7th Dm|Bb7|GM7|Dm
- 06:11: Changing the last chord to reinstall the original harmony F/A & G/B leading to Dm
- 07:05: Dm|Bbsus4
- 07:45: Using the same modulation on the 3rd chord (GM7#5)
- 08:24: Dm|Bbsus4|GM7#5|F/A G/B
- 09:07: Underlining the chords without piano
- 10:34: Conclusion
