I would like to thank you on your theory sessions.  They really helped me understand
what I'm doing as a bassist.  I've been playing for over thirty years mainly through
chord charts that work for me.  (imitating Russian imigrant) My notation...not so good.

From His gifts comes my praise.

This post is designed to introduce you to progressions, what they are, and how they work.  Will it help you to play in all keys faster?  Yes, but only if you practice and understand the patterns.  After you learn them in C, then take it up to the next key, which is C#/Db, then through all the keys.  I'm not going to do all of them in every key, that's your job if u want to learn bad enough.

The progression numbers is the bass notes, that's where the name progression comes from.  So, yes you can play them on the bass too.
thanks t-block.I'll get busy starting tommorrow cause its late.lol

I recently took time to learn progressions and I still have problems determining when is it the right time to use them so can anyone give me an example (not 1-4-5-1) of a pregression for a devotion song.

God bless

To add to original post and to give back a little of what I have learned. I created this. I hope it helps someone. It has made a world of difference in my playing and I thank everyone who has been a part of the learning curve.

1-5-1 open fifth progression
Key of ?C?
1 = C   CEG    Triad
5 = G   GBD    Triad
We will start by noticing that there is one note from these two chords that are the same. The G. We will put this G in our bass under our left pinky. We will then invert the 5 chord until the 5th is in the middle which is the first inversion of the G triad (BDG). And we will move the D into our bass and will have a chord of GD/BG. This is now our new 5 chord which puts an open fifth in our right hand. For the 1 chord we move the E from the C Triad and put it into the bass which forms this chord GE/CG which is now our new 1 chord.  Try a loose arpeggiation between these two chords and listen to the way that the assist one another.


I tried to explain this the best that I could. If anyone else can elaborate please feel free to do so. I'll post a short video later.

Progression smoothness and voicing with the chorus 1 from Majesty.
1-5-1 progression with the open 5th concept.
