Here is the bass transcription of Chuck Rainey's great bass line from the track Josie from the album Aja (1977). Fantastic, musical bass line, doubled on guitar on the album. Becker & Fagen were going for the "Cop show" sound. There is also a great use of double stops in this line. A very important album to own. Click HERE to buy it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0e15eca803bbfc74e977cd/1521131018712-VLU6VVY2XI1W8LTY4JB1/Havona+BASS+SOLO.jpg Scores, Charts & Audio - Havona (Bass Solo) Here is my transcription of Jaco Pastorius' bass solo on Havona. Havona is from the 1977 Weather Report album 'Heavy Weather'. An essential part of developing improvisation is to study and play solos. This is an extremely harmonically sophisticated solo using colour tones, odd phrase lengths and interesting rhythmic ideas. I HIGHLY recommend buying this album if you haven't already.

I have completely re composed the 12 bar head and added an extra unison section that is played on bass, marimba and flute. It’s a bit of a finger buster. I hope you enjoy it.

This exercise is great because not only does it got you used to hearing the harmony (ear training) but it really starts to open up the fingerboard and makes your THINK about what you're playing. Especially when you play it in all 12 keys and start using altered intervals within the exercise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0e15eca803bbfc74e977cd/1511192327207-BAD7THT3O00ZUHCG8Z7I/Developing+1.jpg Free Lessons - lesson 2 Here is a short lesson on groove development. In order to groove you need to know what you're playing. This exercise takes a simple chord progression and gives you different theoretical approaches to building a groove. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0e15eca803bbfc74e977cd/1511192873776-6EACT0V0A1LCIE32XZH7/10ths+1.jpg Free Lessons - lesson 3 Here is a short exercise using major and minor 10th's. The 10th (3rd up an octave) can be a very musical note when incorporated into your bass lines. This exercise is for you to learn how to incorporate it, Get used to the sound and play it all over the neck. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0e15eca803bbfc74e977cd/1511194208898-OC57DV05KRO0VBLYE1O3/Finger+Independence+1.jpg Free Lessons - LESSON 4 Here is an exercise based around finger independence using scale patterns. This is simply an exercise in technique development. However with all of my exercises there is always musical content that way you're developing your technical ability AND your musicianship in tandem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0e15eca803bbfc74e977cd/1511205399204-LQL17SFRYAOTF9DZY4R7/Chord+Tone+inversion+Ex+1.+jpeg.jpg Free Lessons - LESSON 5 Here is the chord tone inversion pattern. There are suggestions for altered notes. The exercise uses the harmonised major scale. But once you start to incorporate altered notes the exercises forces you to think in pitches/notes rather than patterns. As with everything, playing it in all 12 keys is strongly advised. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0e15eca803bbfc74e977cd/1511205976047-WTSFC3JPZQEDCCL6IBGP/Approach+notes+ex.+jpeg.jpg Free Lessons - LESSON 6 Here is an exercise in using chromatic approach notes. Using approach notes are a fantastic way to make your lines more interesting and musical. Plus are essential in understanding walking bass lines. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0e15eca803bbfc74e977cd/1511210341797-GP878IT8LWRR8NYECJZI/Chord+tone+inversion+ex+2.jpg Free Lessons - chord tone exercise table Use this table in conjunction with the chord tone inversion and approach note exercises. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0e15eca803bbfc74e977cd/1514075865471-B2CS2Q0Y0POMXNNF9DN5/Simple+Scale+Exercise+using+3rds.jpg Free Lessons - Simple scale exercises Here is a simple scale exercise. This is based on the harmonised major scale ascending in thirds corresponding to the chord. The descending pattern is using four note groupings. This is a great exercise for dexterity, fingerboard knowledge and improving harmony. Play it in all 12 keys. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0e15eca803bbfc74e977cd/1520355303228-EY8A8T37NT1T0XCGXPUC/Lydian+Major+7+Tetrachord+Exercise.jpg Free Lessons - Lydian Exercise Here is a very useful exercise for fingerboard knowledge using the Lydian Mode.
