Here's an ascending sequence from 'I' m Alive':

I V7 I IV I VI I VI bVII

C G7 C F C Am C Am Bb

c d e f g a g a b flat

r 2nd 1st r 2nd r 2nd r r

Let's try a minor key. This is a common turnaround:

I VII VI V

Am G F Em

agfe

rrrr

With inversions:

I III IV V

Am C/G Dm/F Em

ag f e

r 2nd 1st r

Here's an interesting variant:

I V VII IVmaj VI III IV

Am E/G# G D/F# F C/E Dm

a g# g f# f e d

r 1st r 1st r 1st r

And an ascending progression:

II I IV I VI V I Vlmaj

Dm C/E F C/G Am G/B C A/C#

defgabcc#

r 1st r 2nd r 1st r 1st

I hope these examples will encourage you to explore the musical possibilities offered by both inversions and scale-
like bass lines.
