Walking Measures 11-16 of a D Flat Scale for Advanced Bass Guitar

So now we're on our last seven measures, and we have our sharp one minor chord, so we can just use our minor scale over that again, off the sharp one. And we have our sharp four, so, once again, minor scale right on the sharp four. And then we have our five-seven scale, and remember, our five-seven comes right out of the major scale, so we can use our D flat major scale there, finally. Through the whole piece we've utilized our D flat major scale, but again, the whole point of the piece is to really show you how you can take the scale and move it around, so we're going to play on our last chord, this A flat seven, which you just simply...right, and this is our major scale. So we got... and you hear how that wants to lead back to your D flat, which brings us at the top of the tune, but we're going to start with our minor chord on the sharp one, so we got...to our sharp four, five, one. And you're at the top of the tune. So we'll run that one more time. So we got our sharp one minor, to our sharp four minor, to our five-seven, to one. And that brings us at the top of the tune, and we land on our one, in our first measure of our real book tune.
