You arrived at this page because you want to learn about root progressions and how to spice them up.<\/p>\n

Using the concepts you’re about to learn in this lesson, you can take your playing to the next level by varying the bass notes in a chord progression.<\/p>\n

Let’s get started with a review on the concept of root progression.<\/p>\n

A Quick Review On The Concept Of Root Progression<\/h2>\n

Every chord, irrespective of certain factors like quality, width, and so on, has a note that it is derived from. That note is called its root note.<\/p>\n

A chord is usually named after its root note. For example, the triad below:
\n
\n\u2026is derived from C:
\n
\n…therefore its root note is C. Although the C major triad consists of C, E and G, it is called the C major triad and this is because C is the root of the chord.<\/p>\n

The root of the D minor seventh chord:
\n
\n\u2026is D:
\n
\nThe root note of the E major triad:
\n
\n\u2026is E:
\n
\nThe root note of the C# diminished seventh chord:
\n
\n\u2026is C#:
\n
\nThe root note of the G major seventh chord:
\n
\n\u2026is G:
\n<\/p>\n

“What Is A Root Progression?”<\/em><\/h3>\n

A root progression is a product of the movement from one root note to another. Root progressions are basically an outline of the movement of the lowest notes in a chord progression.<\/p>\n

In the key of C major:
\n
\n…a chord progression from the C major triad:
\n
\n…to the D minor triad:
\n
\n…with C:
\n
\n…and D:
\n
\n…on the bass, produces a C-D root progression. Due to the fact that C and D:
\n
\n…are the first and second tones of the C major scale:
\n
\n…a C-D root progression is usually represented as a 1-2 root progression.<\/p>\n

Always remember that in root progressions, the focus is on the root notes and not the overall harmony, and that’s why I said earlier that root progressions are an outline of the root notes in a given chord progression.<\/p>\n

A Smart Way To Spice Up A Root Progression<\/h2>\n

Let’s take a look at how a root progression can be spiced up using a variety of bass notes.<\/p>\n

Attention:<\/strong> We’ll be using the classic 1-4-5 root progression in this study.<\/p>\n

A 1-4-5 root progression in the key of C major:
\n
\n…is consists of the bass notes of a chord movement from chord 1 (which is the C major triad):
\n
\n…to chord 4 (which is the F major triad):
\n
\n…then to chord 5 (which is the G major triad):
\n
\nIn a nutshell, a 1-4-5 root movement progresses from the C:
\n
\n…to F:
\n
\n…then to G:
\n<\/p>\n

Derived Bass Notes<\/h3>\n

One of the smart ways to spice up a bass note is to derive bass notes that can substitute the basic root progression and I’ll be showing you step-by-step how this works.<\/p>\n

In a 1-4-5 root progression in the key of C major, bass notes can be derived from the individual chords in the chord progression. For example, the C major triad:
\n
\n…which is the chord of the root progression C:
\n
\n…can be used to derive bass notes. All three notes of the C major triad:
\n<\/p>\n

C<\/p>\n

E<\/p>\n

G<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…can be used as bass notes.<\/p>\n

So, instead of the regular C:
\n
\n…for the C major triad:
\n
\n…we can have E:
\n
\n…or G:
\n
\n…as derived bass notes.<\/p>\n

“Bass Notes Can Be Derived For The Fourth And Fifth Root Note…”<\/em><\/p>\n

All three notes of the F major triad:
\n<\/p>\n

F<\/p>\n

A<\/p>\n

C<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…can be used as bass notes.<\/p>\n

So, instead of the regular F:
\n
\n…for the F major triad:
\n
\n…we can have A:
\n
\n…or C:
\n
\n…as derived bass notes.<\/p>\n

In the same vein, all three notes of the G major triad:
\n<\/p>\n

G<\/p>\n

B<\/p>\n

D<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…can be used as bass notes.<\/p>\n

So, instead of the regular G:
\n
\n…for the G major triad:
\n
\n…we can have B:
\n
\n…or D:
\n
\n…as derived bass notes.<\/p>\n

Application Of The Derived Bass Notes<\/h2>\n

Using the concept of derived bass notes, we can spice up the classic 1-4-5 chord progression. However, before we get into the spicier versions, let’s explore the basic version.<\/p>\n

The Classic 1-4-5 Root Progression<\/h3>\n

Over the classic 1-4-5 root progression which progresses from C:
\n
\n…to F:
\n
\n…then to G:
\n
\n…we can have the following chords:<\/p>\n

The C major triad:
\n
\n…over the 1:
\n
\nThe F major triad:
\n
\n…over the 4:
\n
\nThe G suspended fourth triad:
\n
\n…over the 5:
\n
\nThis classic 1-4-5 chord progression can be used to accompany a handful of gospel songs.<\/p>\n

“Take A Look At This Regular Example…”<\/em><\/p>\n

Lord I [the 1]:
\n
\n…lift your name on [the 4]:
\n
\n…high [the 5]:
\n
\nLord I [the 1]:
\n
\n…love to sing your [the 4]:
\n
\n…praises [the 5]:
\n<\/p>\n

Final Words
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Using the concept of derived bass notes, anyone can spice up any given root progression using a variety of bass notes.<\/p>\n

This concept can spice up any progression irrespective of the style or level of the player and that’s why I’m confident that you’ve learned something today.<\/p>\n

I’ll see you in another practical lesson where we’ll apply the concept of derived bass to known gospel songs.<\/p>\n

See you then!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
