DESCRIPTION:
In this video I covered a couple observations that helped make a seven string "click" for me when I first picked one up, then go over scales, arpeggios, and a few ideas for using the low string to extend the range of your playing.
Shortcuts:
1:46 - extending six string scale patterns to the seventh string
3:10 - transposing chords to the low B string
5:47 - Major and minor scale patterns with a root on the low B
9:40 - added range, and why it matters
11:45 - Major and minor arpeggios
14:44 - Arpeggio example
16:32 - Jazz chording with walking bass
17:36 - Kenny Burrell style example
18:35 - Conclusion
Let me know if you find this helpful, if you have any other questions, or if there's anything else you'd like me to add. Thanks for watching!
