This is something I’m very grateful to my early mentors in music for stressing the importance of to me. My biggest early bass influences Laurence Cottle, Phil Mulford and Geoff Gascoyne all had this skill together in a multitude of styles, and that rubbed off on me from day one.

This episode takes a look at using the cycle of fourths, the circle of fifths, half steps, whole steps, and even Giant Steps to cover the full range of your instrument and build confidence in any key, anywhere on the neck.

Don’t forget that the pre-sale for my new album, and possibly one of the most ambitious recording projects I’ve ever embarked on, is now live at my website.

Thank you in advance for all your support, and I can’t wait to bring you more frequent updates on the progress of the project as the recording dates in Argentina approach this August.
