Telebass Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Want to learn some, or all if I can! Got to be a good exercise, no? Totally failed with finger funk (confidence destroyed by Rocco on "What is hip?"), so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the version on Cannonball Adderley's Something Else and learn the bassline on that. Once you've got that down, you'll understand both major and minor ii-V-I progressions, which are key to understanding jazz tunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
