_ _ Hey guys, Jermaine Morgan here.
Today I want to show you some descending exercises that you can actually use in a song.
So stay tuned.

[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ right _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ guys, so today I want to talk about descending lines that you can actually use
in the groove instead of just working on something as an exercise that you never know where to [Am] apply that.
In particular, I want to reference the chorus of this song.
It's a song we do at my church called Worthy is Your Name.
I think it's by Charles Jenkins.
I don't know the name of the choir.
But anyway, in the progression of this song, we're going from one.
I'm in the key of C by the way.
We're going from one _ to six to two, _ _ five, six, seven, one.
And we just groove _ _ five, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ six, seven, one.
For my gospel players out there, some of you may already know this song.
But I wanted to give a nice transition to get from the six to the two.
Because as most of you know, if you play gospel music, after you play the song two or three
times, you don't want to do it the same.
And that's a pretty common thing with bass players.
We're always trying to find something to spice the songs up.
Not to really take away from the song, but to add a little bit to it.
Add a little bit more of our own persona to the song, if you will.
So one of the things I'm doing is I'm taking an exercise that we normally do ascending,
just say if we take that C major scale.
_ _ We _ [Bm] _ [C] _
_ _ normally use this [Eb] type of idea when we're doing the C major scale as far as exercise is concerned. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ So [N] I'm basically taking the same thing, but I'm taking the idea and doing it [D] descending
[C] _ [D] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
to _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ get me to the two from the six.
So I'm going, _ _ _ _ _ and I'm starting that idea, the descending [E] line, I'm starting in the six
position, but I'm doing it over that C major _ to _ _ get me back to that two, which is that
D. Okay?
So again, I'll show you where it falls. _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
It _ lands me right on that two.
We can land on the minor chord, or we can just [Dbm] play it straight.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Okay?
So what that line is, [C] again, is just a regular descending [D] scale.
So I'll play it slow, what I'm doing.
I'm starting out on that D, _
_ [E] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _
_ [A] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
then I land on a C, _ _ _ and I grab that E and land me back to
that D.
So again, slow.
_ _ [D] _ _ _
[E] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Okay?
And that's the entire line.
And so the timing of that, how it falls, [N] one. _ _
_ _ So one, two, three, four, one.
_ _ _ That's the timing of how it falls.
So again, we're going on that one.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Okay?
So I'll do that again, slow.
One, two, three, four. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And I'm on that two, _ to the five, six, seven, one. _ _ _ _ _
I'll put the words in there.
I don't know all the words. _
_ _ _ _ So it falls.
_ _ _ Worthy is your name.
Top of the chorus. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Worthy is your name.
So you see where it falls in the song.
So that's pretty much it for that line, and you got a good idea of where to put it.
And that's just one example of a descending line that we would normally use in an exercise.
But we're actually now _ implementing it into the groove.
So let me know your thoughts on that line.
