    Video Transcript

    "I'm going to show you another example of Drop D melodic playing, and what I'm going to do is just start with the root of the chord D, using the low note, and another way you can incorporate using alternate bass melody with a chord with a drum track, and I'll show it to you right now. What I did there was, rather than just doing a more, like on the last one where I was going, ascending. I actually played with the chords as well, like the D when I did that. When I went to here, which is F, then I brought, actually bring a different chord into the play here, when I'm playing to open G, and then I'm doing this, E. And then I went to A seven, which is kind of like making A major, except leaving the G open. So again, it's ways you can play with alternate bass melodies with the chord."
