Bass day (1h 20m)

  • Chord tones (Phil Mann) — 30m
    • Diminished triads in all inversions around the cycle at 80bpm
    • Major and minor triads in all inversions around the cycle at 80bpm
    • All repeated several times without stopping between inversions or triad types
  • Walking bass lines (Scott Devine) — 50m
    • Composing bass line using techniques I learned from Scott’s course to a new standard (Moondance by Van Morrison)
    • Soloing over same standard

Observations

Looks (and feels) like I got pretty good at triad & 7th chords inversions! Still struggling a bit with 2nd inversions of  7 and m7b5 when playing at faster tempos, but not terribly bad. So I guess it’s time to move to a new course!
