This jazz swing piano / keyboard tutorial walks through 23 steps of creating a swinging walking bass line and comping patterns. We explore these through a 2-5-1-6 progression in Bb Major (Cm7-F7-BbMaj7-G7). The beat never stops so you can always play along in the pocket!
The video is in 3 parts:
1. Basslines - Building up to a walking 4s bassline
2. Chord Voicings - Root position, shells, A Voicings, B Voicings and Altered Chords
3. Comping Rhythms - 10 popular rhythms to get under your fingers
Play along, imitate or create your own ideas with my suggestions as inspiration - have fun!
