If you&#8217;re using a 4-octave keyboard like this one:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n\u2026then all your bass notes should fit into the lowest octave (from C to C):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,C,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nOur goal in this lesson is to show you how you can fit all the bass notes in the major key in one octave. So that in a 4-octave keyboard:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;bass notes can be played within this octave (irrespective of the key you&#8217;re in):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,Cs,D,Ds,E,F,Fs,G,Gs,A,As,B,C,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;while the rest of the keyboard can be dedicated to melodic and harmonic ideas for the right hand ranging from chords, to riffs, arpeggios, melodic lines (licks, runs, etc.), and more.<\/p>\n<p>But before we go any further, let&#8217;s briefly discuss on the concept of bass notes.<\/p>\n<h2><em>&#8220;What Are Bass Notes?&#8221;<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>The term bass note is used in music theory to describe the lowest-sounding note in a chord &#8212; which is usually the root note.<br \/>\nAttention: Although the lowest-sounding note of a chord (aka &#8211; &#8220;bass note&#8221;) is usually the root note, there are occasions where the root note is not the bass note or the bass note is not the root note.<\/p>\n<p>(sub heading) Bass Notes Vs Root Notes<\/p>\n<p>When the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is played on the right hand, the lowest-sounding note that accompanies it (on the left hand) can be any of the notes (aka \u2013 \u201cchord tones) it\u2019s made up of:<br \/>\nC:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nE:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;or G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nSo, we can basically have three options:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C major triad (with C on the bass):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,C,E,G,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC major triad (with E on the bass):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,C,E,G,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC major triad (with G on the bass):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,C,E,G,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When the C major triad is played with C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,C,E,G,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the bass note C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C, ,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is also the root note in this case, while every other bass note like E or G is a bass note (and they obviously aren&#8217;t the root of the chord).<\/p>\n<p>In the C major seventh chord below:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,C,E,G,B,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the bass note is E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and this is because the lowest-sounding chord tone is E.<\/p>\n<p>Now that we&#8217;ve refreshed our minds on bass notes, let&#8217;s proceed into learning how they can be fitted into one octave.<\/p>\n<h2>How To Fit All Bass Notes In One Octave<\/h2>\n<p>Although there are eight notes in every key, there are seven unique bass notes in every major key. Let&#8217;s look at these bass notes and how they can be fitted into one octave in the major key.<\/p>\n<p>Before we proceed, remember that the goal is to make sure that all bass notes fit into the C octave:<\/p>\n<h3>Bass Notes In The Key Of D Major<\/h3>\n<p>The notes of the D major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,E,Fs,G,A,B,Cs,D,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be fitted into the C-octave:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,C,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;in such a way that it starts from C# (which is the seventh tone):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Cs,,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and ends on B (which is the sixth tone):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nHere you

progression would proceed from C#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Cs,,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to F#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Fs,,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;then B:<br

src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Eb,F,G,Ab,Bb,C,D,Eb,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;bass notes can be contained within the compass of the C octave:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,C,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nHere you are:<br \/>\n<img

key of Eb major would proceed from G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,,&amp;color=6600CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;then to F:<br
