Hi everyone, I've started a blog to give lessons and talk about soloing and other jazz nerd topics. These lessons will also mostly be able to apply to other styles of music too. I'd love for the blog to become a discussion group over eveyone's bass ideas. Check it out: www.finerethan.wordpress.com Thanks!

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuump!!!!!

Very helpful information ... I'm starting to get into jazz and soloing in my lessons and this information is great - thanks!

Good stuff! Keep it comin!

Fantastic resource! Thanks so much - bookmarked!!

bump

bookmarked :)

thanks, man!

That segment on the whole tone scale (April 13) is cool. Ive played around with it in the past but I was never quite clear on how to incorporate it into a solo- thanks.

awesome page dude. i just bookmarked it twice on principle. :bassist:

Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!

Okay, so where do you all want to go from here? I can do more videos to help you understand the timing of some of these scales, I can deconstruct some tunes and what scale options there are, or I can show how to apply these in more of a rock way. Thanks.

new post, bump

Just want to repeat my thanks for this excellent blog. Please keep it coming!

I would love to see more hip ways of using different scales and modes over particular chords whilst improvising. Also - use of the altered scale! Oh - and diminished. :-)
