Great lessons Marlowe, just got back from playing bass since I’m already working, nothing much to do, so I manage to hold bass atleast 3 hours everyday.. I’ve watched your lessons, and I love it..any tabs for this btw? Thanks! Have a great day!

Very nice – I played and played that riff until it was ingrained in my mind, started playing it in different keys, learning some of the extended solo, and now I’ve been using bits and pieces of the riff ideas as solos and pieces of other lines.

Once in a while I get a breakthrough like this and move beyond playing a riff – thank you so much for this one!

The E minor pentatonic (E, G, A, B, D) contains the 5, b7, 1 , 2 (9) and 4 (11) of the A minor dorian scale. So its a selection of the same notes, just “translated” into something familar to us bassplayers. Ill do a tutorial of those principles soon

Just a question, Why can you use The E minor pentatonic on this case ? Because it’s the 5th degree in A major scale ? thank you

Can we get a transcription for this? I’m sorry, I’m really tryin, but the beauty of something like this is in the subtleties.
