Example 2:

The next example is from Blue Bossa, the same chord progression from example two of my last lesson. Before playing both the bass line and guide tones together, I suggest learning them separately (ex. 2a and 2b), as they are a little tricky to coordinate.  When putting them together, try and think of the example as two different parts working together.  After all, that's what you're doing - playing a bass part and a chord part simultaneously.

Example 2b - The Guide Tones:

Example 2c - Combining the Bass Line with the Guide Tones
