I play the low note with my index finger and the high one with my middle. I think whichever option you go for the key to making it feel easy its lots of slow practice to get the technique nice and fluid.

I'm signed up here too, really interesting stuff going on!!

Ok thanks for that guys

Hey guys! I thought I had a grip on the theory behind these but the more I find out about them the less sure I am! If the chords are D-7b5 - Galt - C-7 I thought the appropriate scales would be D Locrian, G altered scale, C Dorian I'm currently going through Mark Levine's Jazz Theory book and he says that to think of them all as in the key of C minor is wrong and really should be thought of as F melodic minor - Ab MM - C MM , or is that just if the C is a Cmin/maj? I'm just looking for someone to try and clarify this for me and the possible scale choice or if I should be thinking more key not chord/scale? Hope this makes sense!

Bought a combo from Wayne, very easy to deal with. Was agreed, paid for posted and delivered within the week. Very happy chappy.

Hey guys! Just uploaded my take on Locked Out Of Heaven. Added a slap line to the verses with a fill little fills thrown in for good measure! Let me know what you think! http://youtu.be/VwApQoya26c

Hey! I'm looking to find a music shop with a good selection of bass amps to try, I don't mind travelling an hour(ish!) to find one. I'm looking for MarkBass and Aguilar really but any suggestions would be helpful! Cheers!

PM sent! Cheers mate

I could be interested! What's the regular UK work? And also what's the pay?

Cool, thanks very much for the replies, very helpful! As regards the Hellborg cabs, all the Hellborg range is undiscounted...

Ah no worries man! Keep me in mind for anything in the future though!

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1361026315' post='1979980'] Take a look at this [url="http://scottsbasslessons.com/welcome-to-the-shed"]http://scottsbassles...ome-to-the-shed[/url] watch it all the way through - he starts off doing the exercise you are doing and then explains why its the wrong way to practice modes, and then shows you the right way . Use the major and natural minor (aolian) scales as reference points, learn these first and then learn the others as variations of these. Mixolydian is a major scale with a flat-7th. Lydian mode is a major scale with a sharp-4th. Dorian mode is the natural minor with a 6th instead of flat 6th degree. Phygrian mode is a natural minor with a flat 2nd degree. [/quote] Yeah I went about it this way. I'm trying to memorise all the melodic minor modes at the minute and it's helping me put it into context to try and think about the chord the mode relates to as well. Example - Dorian = minor 7 Phrygian = sus b9 Lydian = Maj #11 etc...
