The Bassline: The bassline weaves between the root notes of the chords, outlining the harmony while adding rhythmic interest through syncopation and walking bass lines. Ghost notes can be incorporated for a subtle, percussive effect. Tom Little's Solo: (Optional) Tom Little can be expanded into a full piece with a bass solo section. Here, the bassist explores the chord changes with melodic improvisation, showcasing their knowledge of jazz scales and techniques like double stops and chromaticism.
