Bass Improvisation Techniques


This video is for my students, who are currently working on improvisation. It features a 4 bar loop of I, V, II, IV (Cm7, Gm7, Dm7, Am7) which they have been using, and some of the techniques that they have been working on including:

-Using the basic minor scales,
-Using pentatonic scales (in this case minor pentatonic – 1 3b 4 5 7b 8)
-Featuring the 9th as a “tasty” note (9th of each chord – D, A, E, B)
-Playing in the relative major scale of each chord (EbMaj, BbMaj, FMaj, CMaj)

This is just a demonstration to give my students, and anyone else who is interested, an idea of how to put ideas together 🙂
