Jazz lick for major 7th chords - Bass lesson with Scott Devine

[devine]

Hey guys,

Just uploaded another soloing tutorial up onto youtube. Just demonstrating a simple major 7th type arpeggio lick to give players an insight into how to create lines using chord tones.

I also give some tips on how to develop melodies and licks by using different rhythmic values.

Any questions you know what to do!

Easy,

Scott.

Great work...I just happened to have my Jazz on hand, so thanks!

(BTW, glad to see I'm not the only person playing with a glove)

Very nice. Never thought of the alphabet thing in relation to music before, makes alot of sense.

BTW, I've never seen your stuff before, so I gotta ask: What's the black glove for?

[Craigster]

very cool, I'll have to check out more of your stuff, thanks!...by the way why do you wear a glove, doesn't get in the way of freting?

Great analogy. Also appreciate you mentioning the degrees of the lick. I'm an interval number guy.

R-3-5-7-9-7-R-3-5-7-5-3-R-7-9-R-3

Thanks for doing that; helped a lot to see how chord tones and licks become melody.

Especially like how you walk us through how this lick can work itself into a melody. I think we all know that those five notes are enough for a melody, but, then having the interval numbers clearly show how the magic can happen, i.e. made it all come into focus.

As always great lesson.

Thanks.

MalcolmAmos... Hey man thanks for checking the tutorial out. I actually think in intervals pretty much all the time.

Easy man,

Scott.

Glad to hear that - good to know others (the good ones) do also.

Great video. It's great that bass players like you spend time to show us what you know in very infomative videos.

I plan on watching your other videos over the Memorial Day holiday weekend.

Also, (I apologize if this has already been covered), but why do you wear a glove?

[devine]

Hey man glad you enjoyed the tutorial! Don't worry about asking about the glove - I get asked a lot lol.
