Bass & Creativity: Improvisation and Ear Training
In this lesson, we take a look at a way to build speed and effectiveness in recognizing intervals. We’ll also learn to deduce chords and scales by ear through improvisation.
Once again, the addition of piano with the right hand is a great way to expand our options from a bass perspective.
