Exactly, I have been telling my students for years, that if you can play one scale, then you can play them all. I can play pretty much everything, but like you, I play a lot of basslines based around double stops, triads and scales… it’s more colorful than the lazy bassists who play only the root, 5ths, and 3rds.

That’s easy on Fodera Tony Grey Signature Bass! :P
Just kidding, Tony you are fabulous! Position change and tutorial about improvisation was excellent!

ps
Do you have perfect pitch?
Would you go on fretless Fodera?

Thanks Donald, well yes I guess you can think about it like that, it’s more how you phrase and where you resolve. That’s what I’m going for.

That’s pretty cool improv. I just look at it as if I am in the key of G.
