Lesson transcript:

Understanding the Bass Line

The bass line is quite interesting because it doesn't really change very much.

Chord Changes

  • One: You're on the one there.
  • Four: When it goes to the four, the only thing that changes is the third goes from major to minor, then back to major.
  • Five: The five is actually a 2, 5, 1, and then minor.
  • Descending: On the way down, it goes back to the four.

Instrument Specifics

On this organ, which is quite particular because it is 54 years old, there's a slight fault down the bottom that I should bring to your attention.

  • If you listen to the output of these notes, that B flat is a lot quieter.
  • Basically, there's nothing you can do about that.
  • That's just indicative of the instrument.

So, if you hear a drop when it goes to that, that's not deliberate, and it won't happen on your instrument. This is a 1963 instrument, so that's just how it is.
