_ [N] When you play this kind of groove bassline as in C, C minor, _ [Gb] _ _ [Bb] [Db] it's nice to spice it up
with [Ab] some fills.
And I'm [A] using solely the [Bb] minor pentatonic scales and I'm using some trills and some
hammer [Gb]-ons and pull-offs.
[Gm] So [N] for instance, _ _ _ I do this bassline with the root note, [Bb] fifth, _ [N] seventh, octave, back to
the seventh, a little trill. _ _ _
And then I use the, [Ebm] I made a little fill there. _
_ _ _ [E] So [B] this is the minor pentatonic scale [N] or actually the blues scale.
_ [Gb] _ [Gm] _ [Eb] _
[F] _ [Gb] _ [Eb] _ _ [N] So I'm taking the flat fifth in the blues scale, I'm actually _ playing the [Fm] fourth _ to
the [Gb] _ _
flat [B] fifth, [Fm] back to the fourth, _ _ [Eb] [E] pulling off to the [F] minor third.
_ _ [Ebm] _
[Fm] And also, _ I pull off like this, [Ebm] _ [F] _ [Eb] _
[Fm] but I like [Ebm] this. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] Back _ [Gb] to the fourth, [Eb] pull [F] off, _ [A] and then a trill again on the [Eb] minor third.
[Ab] Minor [Gb] third going to a major third, that gives the bluesy sound.
So [Ebm] actually when you're playing this kind of bassline, it can be both in [E] minor or in
dominant [Eb] seventh.
[Bb] _
_ [F] _ [C] If [Eb] I play it solely minor, _ _
[N] _ you hear this, I'm flirting with the major _ third.
So _ _ _ [F] _
_ [E] here I'm playing an octave [Eb] below, the same principle.
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Gb] Sometimes I do, sometimes [N] I just come directly to the flat fifth.
[F] _ [Em] _ [Bb] _
_ [E] _ _ [Ab] So you can get a lot of mileage out of that.
Try playing it [Cm] in another position. _ _
[Bb] _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [E] _ [Bm] _ [Ab] _ _
[E] Here I'm actually playing over a C dominant seventh because _ _ going [Abm] down to the major third
it sounds so cool when you're playing C. _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ [Bb] _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [N] And here _ I'm actually flirting with the, because when I'm [E] playing C dominant [Bm] seventh, you can
[Em] both play the minor pentatonic scale, [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] and you [N] can also play the major pentatonic [Em] scale. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] And what I was doing here, actually I was playing [Em] kind of [C] _ [Eb] [C] a_
It is a minor scale, [Ab] but I'm actually thinking in major [C] pentatonic here.
_ [Bm] _ _ [C] [Ab] I'm just [Bb] taking the [F] major and the major third and [Gb] playing it as a minor third.
[E] But [C] I'm still _ _ [Eb] _ [C] thinking_
_ [D] _ [C] [Gb] This [Em] is the major.
_ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] So actually when you're playing this [Ab] kind of dominant seventh, [E] you [N] play a full _ _ minor pentatonic [F] scale.
[Eb] _ _
[Bb] _ [Eb] _ Or you do the major [E] pentatonic scale.
[G] _ [D] _ _ [Am] _ [C] _ _ [A] So_
Brian Miller from the Just Duke band was a [B] master of this.
You know, he played this, _ if [N] you listen to Just Duke, Retro for instance.
It goes in and out of the pentatonic scales, the minor pentatonic scale, and the major. _ _ _ _ _
