Measures 11-12 in a Jazz Bass D Flat Scale

RYAN LARSON: All right. Now, we're on our last two measures, and we just have this 3-6-2-5 turnaround, right? So we have--or we have a 1-6-2-5 turnaround, so 1-6-2-5. And we'll look at my keyboard or my fret board; we have 1-6-2-5. So I can use notes in the scale to get there, and I just need one note in between, right? One-6-2-5-1. Or I can use a chromatic approach: 1, and-uh-6, and-uh-2, and-uh-5, and-uh-1, and-uh-6, and-uh-2. Or I can go in and out using scale notes in that. So 1, and-uh-2, 5, and-uh-1, and-uh-6, and-uh-2, 5, 1, 2, 5. I can space it out: 1-6-2-5-1-6-2-5-1. So that's your last two measures and go through--get two beats out of each chord, and that's your bebop blues last two measures.
