Great stuff as usual Bob. It always seems to help going back to the basics. Can learn so much about how to improve, regardless of how long you've been playing. Thanks for what you do to help along the journey. 👍🏿

great teacher

@jeffreydelisle7337 Год назад

This is a very good approach. I have been trying to learn walking bass in the left hand as piano accompaniment but have until now been limited by the rule of hitting the root at beat one of every chord change. By allowing any chord tone to be on beat one it preserves the walking feel, though it is undeniably looser and at least a bit harder to hear the chord changes. I guess these are artistic choices. Great stuff, and thanks.

I am a guitarist working on solo stuff; I don't need amazing bass lines, just reasonably competent ones. The pivot is a simple but seldom mentioned idea; I know BB scales but never thought about the bass for using them. Very helpful.

What a great lesson Bob! I have to go to the Dentist for a couple fillings, THEN I will have some fun practicing this lesson! Wish I had a great teacher like you when I was 18yrs old. At 62 years old, I am learning jazz and whatever else I can learn! The only music that was hard for me to play was polka music . I was getting to jam with 3 of my Uncles. Never got to prepare for it. Just plug in and play! My ear had a hard time following along! Sorry for getting off track,Bob! Truly enjoy your lessons!!! ✌️🖖

@Nikosi9 2 года назад

Excellent lesson. May I suggest that when you play the line through the changes of the song, that you play it with a faint piano/guitar track of the chords/melody, so that we can hear the relationship of the bass line to the chords? I, personally, can't relate this line, which sounds good on its own, to the sound of the song. It might just be me, but I think it might help others, also...

@bobdeboo8549 2 года назад

Great suggestion. It does make a lot more sense to hear it with a backing track, but I believe the same issue would occur - the automated play-along apps (irealpro) wouldn't really relate to the song either right because they're not influenced by the melody. What do you think?

@musterionsurly 3 года назад

A great lesson, essential stuff laid out in an efficient and yet musically fun way. Really enjoyed that.

Bob I like your clear videos. Always excellent. I’m an organ player always looking to improve my basslines. Can you make a video tutorial on playing walking lines in 3? Simple waltz at 120bpm? There is nothing on the internet about this. My basslines are clumsy in 3.

@bobdeboo8549 2 года назад

Thanks Dorian! Yes absolutely, playing in 3 has been on my list for a while. Will probably cover that soon.

@ModeDorian 2 года назад

@@bobdeboo8549 Kind of you Bob, thank you. I've forwarded your videos to students. Who better to study correct and efficient basslines with than a bassist? And your videos are excellent. I find my basslines all swing in 4 but I find the elements of the chord don't quite match up in 3. And I can't see anything on the net about walking in 3. So thanking you in advance.

@bobdeboo8549 2 года назад

@iloverumi 2 года назад

great info and breakdown... will this work on lead instruments too--guitar, sax, etc.?

@bobdeboo8549 2 года назад

Sure, it would work on any melodic instrument functioning as a bass! Thanks for watching

@insidejazzguitar8112 2 года назад

Really enjoyed this lesson, thank you. I’m late to this conversation, but two quick thoughts: One, I think this could work in double time as an idea for improvising, so you end up with eighth notes. Thoughts? Two, I’ve had trouble using the concept of playing a dominant scale over the two minor chord because the third of a dominant chord is a six over the minor cord. And since the two minor chord is not acting as a tonic, it sounds odd to my ear, but I guess it’s done that way a lot?

@bobdeboo8549 Год назад

Hi. Apologies for the delayed response. Yes indeed, doubling the rhythm of these ideas should result in rhythmically strong 8th note lines!

@jacobfainguelernt8723 2 года назад

What about minor scales? Can I use these ideas for the Dorian scale? I want to use it for "So What"?

@johnharrisjr.351 Год назад

Eb major scale is a weird flex, but ok. Liking all this. ;P

@alexandram9477 2 года назад

darn...you lost me on explaining choices for measures 13 and 14, guess I'll just go with what you have written - the F7 and G7 bebop scales for them?

@Neobop3 2 года назад

So you could also think of the dominant bebop scale as a major scale adding the #4 ... right? So are you only using the dominant bebop scale on II-V chords? Does that allow for an F-minor and a F Major chord? I'm just trying to figure out when I would use these?

@bobdeboo8549 2 года назад

Hi Neobop, thanks for watching. You could totally think of the Dom Bebop scale as a Major scale with both a minor and major 7th, but adding a #4 is another sound to my ears. You could also think of it thinking from the ii-7 chord: dorian with an added major 3rd. Basically over a ii-V-I you could think Dom bebop for the ii&V, and Major bebop on the I.
