Measures 11-12 in a Jazz Bass G Major Scale

RYAN LARSON: So now we've come to our last two measures and we walked this A minor D7 before it and now we just have a 3-6-2-5 here right? D minor, E7, A minor, D7, right? So G, A, B, G, A, B, C, D, E, E so 3-6 G, A2 and G, A, B, C, D 2-5 so 3-6-2-5. And each get a measure so we're just going to walk, you have 3-6-2-5. So all I have to do is get one note in between each one of the lowest notes, in reality it could be any note like--but a lot of Jazz cats use what's called sidestepping where you use the fret above it or below it slide into it. So I got 3 into 6 into 2 into 5 into 3 into 6 into 2 into 5 into 3 into 6 into 2. So there's all these different ways to approach it. So now we're going to walk the two measures before where we went A to D7 a little premature and then we're going to walk through the last two measures so A, D, 3-6-2-5-1. That's a quick run through through the last two measures of our bebop blues.
