Some Altered Blues Changes

These blues changes sure are... altered. Tried to weave a coherent bassline through but with some trouble/uncertain spots. Tritone substitutions in measures 4, 7, 10, 11, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 36?

Back to the drawing board. What a splendid song.

Everything Happens To Me bassline exercise

Since I Fell bassline exercise

What Is This Thing (really) bassline exercise

A great bassline writing exercise that's challenging me in multiple ways (all good) suggested by sagacious bass mentor Robert Sabin - thanks!

I hear if I do about a thousand of these they'll become slightly easier and maybe not even sound like a cacophony the first time I play them.
