Some one showed me this neat little trick to give a 6,2,5,1 progression a little spicy flavour...they showed me on piano with their right hand but I noticed immediately how this would transfer to stradella...
So original progression in C would be
Am, Dm, G, to C
By adding secondary dominants to lead between changes you could play.
A bass, A min chord, C#bass (the third/counterbass above A) A7 chord, D bass, D min chord, F#bass D7 chord, G bass, G chord, B bass, G7 chord taking you to C....
So Amin, A7/C#, Dmin, D7/F#, Gmaj, G7/B to C....etc
Or rhythmic variations of same theme
A bass Am Ebass Am Abass Amin C#bass A7... to D min etc...
Once you've got the drift adjust to right hand too...sweet classic sound
Sorry if I'm last on the bus to have spotted this but thought might be a nice move to experiment with for some
To get from the C back up to the Amin I'd most likely play a bass run C,E,G,G#...leading back to the A...(C7/E isn't going to work...would be lumpy)
