Ok, i know this isn't a tutorial, but, thought i'd post it up anyway. It's just a short clip of me messing around over a Bb7 groove.
YouTube - Scott Devine 'In The Shed' Practicing bass soloing over Bb groove.

I talk about some of the techniques i'm using here...

Thanks Scott. You mentioned enclosing the chord tone. My improvisation just took another leap. Speaking of leaps, this three tone phrase then a leap of at least a 3rd - and then continue that three tone phrase with what you landed on i.e. one note back and then one note above - is magic.

I've heard of the three note phrase and then a leap for years, after your video, it became clear how this could be used.

Thanks again.
