Im imitating the sound of a P bass by only using the neck pickup and rolling the tone knob a fair amount down

Dear MarloweDK, thank you for great vid(s).
Not all is clear to me in this groove yet since I am beginner. Would you kindly advise?
Its supposed to be in A maj so I consider it to be “build” from A maj scale tones – I am little confused you are using A min scale tones: C in second measure and G in that G/G/F#/E lick then. Are the C and G there just as chromatic “bonus tones” to the A maj run? Or am I still not getting/hearing it right? 
Thanks!

: Hi MDK, Wow waht a great DVD... just spent a few hours learning the first few lessons... great quality and well taught... I'm very pleased with my purchase. If any improvment could be made I would only say could there be a 'repeat' funcion so that you can get a lick to play continually? or what aboutt a not showingthe BPM so that we can use the correct tempo using the drum patterns... overall a wonderful job... I look forward to more downloads in the future.... especially for IPad
: Great to hear, enjoy it:-)

: Thank you, and yes, i will make something else for the next dvd

Hi Dute
Its a riff in The key of A major yes, but its a A7 chord vibe – G is the flatted seventh ( b7 )
The C is just a chromatic note to the C# (the Major third)
I do that a lot, gives it a bluesy vibe, playing the minor third before the Major third
The scale for this piece would be the mixolydian scale ( plus the added anticipation note C)
