Measure 2 in a Jazz Bass B Flat Scale

RYAN LARSON: Now we're on our 2nd measure here, which is this E flat 7 chord, right? So we'll start with our B flat and then we go to our E flat 7 and we just walk in the same scale. So I'll start here B flat, right? And then we have to walk four beats and then end here on our iv chord our E flat 7, and then we walk four beats till we end on our I chord again so I can--I'm going to demonstrate that now. So we got I, IV, I or I can do I'll start on the top. I, IV, I. I can even double the notes, I, IV, I. So now you have I to IV and you can just keep walking it back and forth, I, IV, I, IV. In this way we can get all these different ways to walk it, I, IV, I, IV, I, IV. So I'm just putting some chromatic notes in there to give it a little spice but basically staying on our B flat major scale walking our I to our IV chord.
