#365daysofbass #Day34 | Major iim7-V7-I^7 patterns around the circle of 4ths. Notice that when you are playing the pattern starting on the D string you have to play the V7 from the lower octave. The chord progression throughout is || iim7 |V7 | I^7 | I ^7|| I'm ascending each chord and then on measure four DESCENDING the Major 7th 🅰️ The II-V C major is Dm7 - G7. When you're starting on the E string you can ascend each #arpeggio with no problem. 🅱️ The next key is F and the iim7 is Gm7 and the V7 is C7. You'll run out of real estate unless you have a 6 string so, to compensate for that you have to go to the C a fifth *below* F. You'll follow this pattern through all keys. I think that its still a great idea to call out the names each key. Even though you're always starting to play from a note other than the tonic. #mini #basslesson #basslessons #howto #playbassguitar #playbass #playjazz #playsoul #playfunk #playpop #playblues #learnbass #resources #scales #modes #licks #tricks #tips #instabass #basstagram #grooveschool #grooveacademy #sonofabass #blyss #bassplayer #bassplayersunited

#365daysofbass #day27 #lydianmode in A Major. #lydian starts on the 4th. It's of the major scale and, in this shape feels almost identical to the major scale shape but has a "sharp fourth" scale degree. Look at it closely and compare to the major scale (Ionian) Make sure to transpose to different keys and experiment with different fingerings. #aguilaramp #mxr #dunlop #monocreators #gruvartist #ipreview

Some of my favorite #musician #moments or the last year or more have been spent with Scott Keller on drums. The smile, the good vibes, the great grooves and energy. Dope dude, great father and husband. @skthemusician #btw I don't remember who was singing.
