Introduction

Ahim sheli (my brothers)

Hello , I know it has been a while . the reason is because I moved to a new apartment and I couldn't shoot the videos.
Now I hope this lesson will interest you. this a is a nice technique of holding the pick between the index finger and the thumb , and the rest of the fingers bring those jazz sounds as an answer.
I think this technique of going chromatic is something that helps you find the area of notes that are suitable for playing while you are jamming.

I know it always easy to say I can see it in the video or the tabs but I think you should watch at least once. this technique with the finger is also nice for solos but I guess it is for a different lesson.
Here the bass is moving from the root note bass to the 5'th bass of the chord chromatic.
