I was trying to use normal major with pentatonic on different octaves with holding on the root note but more it was playing that what i feel. It's old recording and i feel now i could do this much better than this .
 
Probably I will not be original saying I'm practising with background music "Cantaloupe Island".
While playing I'm trying use pentatonic and triads to make a Solo on top of it .
Mostly I'm using pentatonic skills - Mixolydian and Dorian . During solo I'm trying play main note every 1st beat bar to hold the tempo and structure.
 
 
  1. Arpeggios - I was working on them last week , I played them last year but with no practice, yeah I forget them.
  2. Blues and Pentatonic Scales - same as arpeggios , but never had time for practising yet.
  3. Modes - done just a bit of Mixolydian one.




I need More , more and again more practice.
 
  • Modes
  • Scales
  • Blues and Pentatonic Scales
  • Arpeggios

I set my realistic targets which I want to achieve until end of the year.
My biggest weakness it's that I can write scales on the paper but can't play them technically on the instrument. Maybe some of them, but I need to practice a lot to achieve this what I want.
 
Strengths:
  • Fast learning
  • Quick fingering
Weaknesses:
  • Modes
  • Skills  
  • Jazz    
  • Never playing solos on the bass
 
Strengths:
From last week I can see that I remembering more correct places while quick playing.

Weaknesses:
I was playing solo today in class, and yeah I was struggling and thinking to long what next note to play. And I was to shy ? I need to feel more comfortable to play solo , because I never was doing this.

Targets:
Try play more Solo bits and work more on skills and modes.
 
Strengths:
Fast fingering, knowing blues skill .

Weaknesses:
Probably everything , modes and skills. While playing fast forgetting correct place of notes. Moves between skills.

My homework?:
Play more on the bass, play more skills, modes. Watch more improvisation videos and try to catch the technique what they are using.
