Very cool exercise, but I gotta ask, (though I know you've probably been asked 100's of times, lol) is there a purpose for the glove? Is it like a tool to help teach students? Sorry, I'm just really curious.

Thanks for sharing, will be looking more into your vids!

Shredder, go on Scott's website where you can get an explanation of how the glove helps overcome a complicated medical problem.

Ok, I apologize Scott, with your playing nothing like that ever crossed my mind! Also been looking into your improvisational lessons and actually I'm learning quite a bit, most videos on youtube are centered around just technique, with little to no theory training, an aspect I am definitely lacking in, but you manage to teach theory in a none super coneded way that actually makes sense, and I appreciate that.

Perhaps the one thing I like about this forum the most is that you very seldom have someone call you Dude.

Scott, I agree all of your videos are greatly appreciated. I find this particular video really brings hearing intervals into soloing. Thanks again for your posts, lessons and videos.

Okay, it's probably been asked a hundred times if not a thousand, but since I have never seen it before....................

What's with the glove?

You mean there are other ways to do bass solos? ;-). Tremendous stuff, Scott. You've inspired my next project, which is to quit sitting on my "familiar" set of chord tones (i.e., dom 7th and a couple others) and work on getting all of them down.

Thanks again.

Jeff

I've seen a few of Scott's Vid's and have really gotten some good stuff from them. Having said that, I've also been told that a stupid question is the one that does not get asked.
SO, at the risk of being joked, what exactly is the "chord tone"? I think of it as, if the chord is an Amaj7, the chord tone is A and you play the Amaj scale or A maj appegio starting on "A". That's probably not right.

I understand the concept of not moving your hand position to play thru the changes and it sounded like I heard him use some appegios, but I'm not sure what is meant by "Chord Tone".

Don't joke me too bad, guys!
