This lesson from Mark J Smith covers how to play scales and arpeggios on the bass guitar but only descending from a high root note.
This lesson was inspired by a Skype lesson I was giving recently on walking bass lines and the student was having problems with descending arpeggios. Ascending then descending was fine but descending from any given note was hard.
So this bass lesson is intended to help with getting over that hurdle. The main arpeggios of the major 7, minor 7, dominant 7 and minor 7 b5 are covered along with an assortment of scales.
