Talking Technique: Applied Permutations – Chromatic Groove

This episode is all about using chromatic approaches to liven up a bass line. We’ll also cover how to use different fingerings to come up with these sorts of situations in your playing.

This follows along with the permutation exercises I’ve covered in past editions of Talking Technique.

Follow along with the PDF for this lesson and the video.
