Hi David,

I'm in the level 7 bass lines accompaniment study.  If you were to play accompaniment harmonica bass line and the was also a bass player at the same time. Is it best to try to do similar transitions and pickups as the bass player or not worry about that too much?

 

Thanks!

Exactly, you want to use

Exactly, you want to use similar transitions as well. Or, not do transitions, letting the bass player do them.
