Ready to level up your groove? In this lesson, we took a simple chord progression (Cmaj7 – Fmaj7 – G7 – Cmaj7) and showed how to turn it into a bass line that flows 🎶

Here’s what we covered: ***Don’t forget the homework at the bottom***

✅ Starting simple – Using root notes and triads to lock into the groove

✅ Filling the measure – How to use arpeggios to spell out chords across 4 beats

✅ Voice leading made easy – Smooth transitions using the major 3rd of the next chord

✅ The “plug & play” formula – Make your bass lines sound intentional and connected

✅ Real-time examples – See the difference between static and flowing lines in action 👀

Whether you’re just getting started or need a refresher on chord tone movement, this lesson gives you a solid foundation to make your lines sing! 🎸✨
