Not too shabby... but you'd stay out of the D minor trap if you knew whats good for ya. Down the road it gets to be a real pain in the ass when you can only write in one key. Other than that, and the fact that some of the progressions in the first one are a bit too close to 46&2, its pretty good. I can see them developing into something exceptional; you just need to work on 'em a little.

All in all, good job.

Adam Kadmon's The Bass Grimoire (complete book of scales)

It's got a lot of easy-to-comprehend theory, and every scale known to man, in every key.

Take some lessons, that's what pointed me in the right direction.

And finally, if you don't already know them, learn notes. Learn them like the back of your hand.

The Funk-amentals of theory are really simple. All you need to learn are the notes, then learn some intervals, and everything's made from that.

Here are some websites

http://www.synthzone.com/theorytb.htm
http://www.musictheory.halifax.ns.ca/lessons.html

And if you have any questions, I or someone else here could answer them I'm sure.

Good stuff. I like how you can play chords (or at least harmony) without it sounding muddy and crappy, most bass players I know can't pull that off.

I've been looking for a bassist for my band for such a long time, wanna move to Boston?
