There is a challenge at Scott's Bass Lessons called "the bassless challenge". So I experimented using my mind to think of the notes in thirds of the D major scale.
Some of the exercises that did in preparation are:
1) Playing the D Major scale in triplets

2) Visualising the notes names WITHOUT the bass in hand.

While doing the challenge, I realised something that happened, and this was about the metronome.
If you watch the video, I comment through out, and you can read my thoughts at the end of the video
