    Outstanding blues piece. Aside from what this lesson teaches, I just wanted to haul out my old bass and play along.

    Looking forward to studying this one. Can you please put together a playlist with just your tunes without the lesson on YouTube so we can listen to all your beautiful songs with family and friends?

    Nice, melodic licks in a key, I don’t usually play blues, but I love the sound of D and in that position. That shape 2 box is a go to for the major D penta and fits right in with shape 1 of the D minor pentatonic. I have been lately, studying staying in on area for a 12 bar with major and minor and your composition is fun to play and it is so tastefully good!
