Upright Bass in E: Walk Bebop F Sharp Minor

Now we're going to walk our bebop scale through our F sharp minor chord, and we're just going to add another chromatic note like we did before, and we'll get an eight note scale as opposed to our seven note scale, and you'll hear how it sounds right now. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, one. I just went to B for a second there, but that's okay. So we're just walking from F sharp to F sharp, and we put in a chromatic note in there. So, you want to go through and walk the scale again, going from F sharp to F sharp, and you can add one or two chromatic notes, as many as you want, it doesn't matter as long as you end up on the root of the chord that you're going to.
