[quote name='lonestar' post='461441' date='Apr 13 2009, 07:30 PM']It's been a useful discussion hasn't it?
I think that on reflection tend to use the 5th string around the bottom end fairly sparingly to to punctuate lines with 4ths or 5ths, sometimes as almost passing notes, and play root notes and bass lines from up past the 5th fret onwards if that makes any kind of sense.[/quote]Makes sense to me but there are so many different intervals to use on passing notes. 6ths, minor 7ths, oh no, Jazz has just started to secreet from my pores...NURSE!!!
