When there’s a three chord boogie and you just want to hang on the 1 while the rest of the progression goes but still stay to where it’s in key and ascend back up to meet the 1 in time.
Y’all know what I mean? You hear Ric Ramirez do it alot on Flatland Boogie by Wayne Hancock.
Tryin’ to get this down. Timing’s not an issue just keeping so playing on the 1 doesn’t sound outta key.
Do you mean not hitting the changes and letting the bass be a pedal tone?
I’m lost by “pedal tone”.
Do you mean not play the changes and just hang on the root? Like in a 12 bar blues in C you would play C through the whole thing?
Well.. C scale once you hit the octave C playing through where the F would be in the C scale and winding back up to where the C starts again.
