How to Play Jazz Bass in Db (D Flat): Forms

RYAN LARSON: So now, we've gone through our entire bebop blues form. And I'm just going to walk through, counting out the degrees of the scale as I play it. And you'll see how I'm just staying in that major scale pattern. So we've got--we're starting on our 1 chord, right? One-4-1-5-1-4-sharp 4-1-3-6-2-5-1-6-2-5. Again, 1-4-1-3-6-4-sharp 4-1-3-6-2-5-1-6-2-5-1. So that's your bebop blues on the bass. So go through and start expanding your bag of tricks.
