g major scale exercise

Tips on Playing on a simple g major scale.
Chord progression is G Am Bm Am, all in the (diatonic/bolic) scale.
Im only using the major scale and the major pentatonic scale(12356).
Well actually, im also playing the B minor pentatonic scale at one point.More on that in video "g major scale exercise #2" covering the pentatonic scales
Also check out youtuber/bassplayer Blyss' fine tutorial on the major scale for more insight:

@queez11ciara thx man, great to be of inspiration

Fantastic playing, absolutely brilliant! Illustrates 2 very important points IMHO. Firstly, bass is not a 'dull' 'boring' instrument; and secondly, speed is not everything! This is a perfect example of musical phrasing, there is real emotion in this piece - you can FEEL it. Too many people get hung up & obsessed with playing fast all the time, with lots of fancy fills all over the place; when they should be taking note of this. Well done Marlowe, superb video - truly inspirational, thank you.
