Bass Contour Flow

Ray Harmony

Show Notes

Most bass lines consist of only roots, or roots and 5ths. Boring! Remember, bass lines are melodies. They need contour, too. So, if your bass lines jump around between roots and 5ths, smooth them out by using small intervals to shape flowing contours. Ray & Kate :) PS: This tip is from our 1-Hour Crash Course​
