This week, we're diving into a true gem from the Great American Songbook - Irving Berlin's timeless classic Blue Skies. This beloved standard offers bassists a wonderful opportunity to explore the interplay between major and minor tonalities while navigating some fascinating chord structures with alternate roots. The song's enduring popularity among jazz musicians makes it an essential addition to any bassist's repertoire. As usual, I'm playing the line on Double Bass here, but this is a great one to play on Bass Guitar too! Try playing this version - the music is on screen in both notation and tablature! Check it out and let me know what you think!
