So I'm bored at 2AM and decide to record myself jamming with a live version of the Grateful Dead song "Fire on the Mountain". This is not me covering the song exactly (as this is not the nature of the band in question), I am just jamming with it, using a lot of improv, so it is far from perfect. But it's all good, enjoy it! For other bassists, the song is two chords. Goes from B to A. The main bass line is played on roots, fifths, and octaves, seemingly all in the higher octave. But when I go off on solo fills and such, actually the notes played all exist on the E Major scale, I just move the root, or where I'm "starting" from, to the root of the chord. B, and then A. So what that means is it goes from B Myxolydian (or B7 scale if you will) which is a major scale with a flattened 7th, to an A lydian scale, which is a major scale with a sharpened 4th. So. [B,C#,D#,E,F#,G#,A] to [A,B,C#,D#,E,F#,G#] Hope I explained that well enough, if you have any questions just ask! Equipment used: Ibanez GSR200FM, Peavy M158 practice amp, laptop webcam and mic.
