önce orjinal yazı, ki internet üzerindeki bir forumdan alındı. (yazarının kendi isteğiyle kamu malı yapması içimi rahat ettiriyor)

Theory lesson
First of all you need to know chords, chords and more chords:
Ive made a list of as many chords as I could think of at the moment and made a few notes about each one.
Major 1-3-5
Minor 1-b3-5
7 1-3-5-b7
9 1-3-5-b7-9
11 1-3-5-b7-9-11 dont ever play the 3rd
13 1-3-5-b7-9-11-13 dont ever play the 11th
Ma7 1-3-5-7
Ma9 1-3-5-7-9
Ma11 1-3-5-7-9-11 you probably wont ever see this one.
Ma13 1-3-5-7-9-11-13 you probably wont ever see this one.
m7 1-b3-5-b7
m9 1-b3-5-b7-9
m11 1-b3-5-b7-9-11
m13 1-b3-5-b7-9-11-13
6/9 1-3-5-6-9
6 1-3-5-6
m6 1-b3-5-6
m(Ma7) 1-b3-5-7
sus4 1-4-5
7sus4 1-4-5-b7
9sus4 1-4-5-b7-9
7b9 1-3-5-b7-b9
7#9 1-3-5-b7-#9
7b13 1-3-5-b7-9-b13
7b9b13 1-3-5-b7-b9-b13
7b5 1-3-b5-b7
+ 1-3-#5 also known as aug. or augmented
+7 1-3-#5-b7 augmented seventh chord
o 1-b3-b5 diminished: looks like the sign for degrees
o7 1-b3-b5-bb7 double flat seven is of course the same note as 6
1-b3-b5-b7 same symbol with a diagonal line through it. This is known as a half-diminished chord. (sorry I cant put this symbol into my post)
m7b5 1-b3-b5-b7 same chord as half-diminished.
add 9 1-3-5-9
sus2 1-2-5 (I know we already had a debate about this name, but I see it often)
5 1-5 or 1-5-8 the famous power chord. 1 and 5 only. Technically not a chord because it only has two notes.
There may be more, there are always more.
First of all, if you expect to play jazz, you must know all of these. You must know them instantly, if you have to stop and think, you dont know them well enough. You should know fingerings for all these chords, at least one fingering, but two would be nice and three would be nicer. You should know fingerings that have no open strings (moveable fingerings) and fingerings that do include open strings. You should be able to play the notes in any order or any octave.
The Simandl bass method has a nice exercise about 2/3 way through the book which takes major triads and mixes them up in various orders using the whole range of the bass. You could create similar exercises for other types of chords. And of course explore various possibilities on how to finger all this stuff.
Of course we know that 9=2, 11=4, 13=6. Remember you never have to play the notes in order.
It would be nice if you knew the names of all the notes in the chords, but its a little more important to be able to find them on your bass first. You should now what the various intervals sound like.
Now we want to get to the other notes that you can play beside chord notes. In general, you can fill in the spaces between chord notes with scale notes. You can also fill in the spaces between chord notes with chromatic notes.
All this works in rock as well as jazz. In jazz walking lines you want to connect one chord to another. You can use a chord note, a scale note, or one or more chromatic notes to do this.
Thats the next lesson. Ill give various examples then.
Now we get to scales. If you are playing blues scales, you are not playing jazz. Use these for making up rock riffs or soloing over the blues, please.
There are many types of scales and modes. Jamey Aebersolds teaching materials feature a this scale goes with this chord method. This is a method for soloists. Many older jazz players hate this approach and insist that your style must start with chords. Im in the middle somewhere.
As we start filling in the spaces between the chord notes with scale notes, the normal major notes 2,4, and 6 dont always work. For instance on a diminished or half-diminished chord they wont work at all. On a half-diminished chord the appropriate scale is usually a locrian scale, 1-b2-b3-4-b5-b6-b7.
Daves description of a whole tone scale for a 7b5 or a +7 chord was right on, but other note choices will work as well. The diminished scale is a very hip scale, Michael Brecker plays it all the time (and he got it from John Coltrane). I cant say that I really use it in bass lines, but its a great soloing scale.
Now normally I get paid to teach this stuff in lessons, you just got it all for free. How about leaving your bass at my house to rewire as well?
Next lesson, Ill talk more extensively about modes, scales, and connecting notes. But learn your chords first!
