What's on Your Mind

[MENTION=23145]valkyrie4488[/MENTION], get past the major alone and find a good scale book in a good guitar store. It should have harmonic and melodic minors, modes and maybe even some non-western stuff. Learn the patterns. Since you are reading music now get the "Riemenschneider chorales" of Back and study those bass lines. Riemenschneider was the guy that gathered the collection of chorales and it is used as a harmony workbook for theory students. It may seem ordinary at first glace but there is profoundly amazing stuff there. Study the melodies in it also and you will realize the things that are done in the bass are really quite brilliant.
