In this video I show you a formula that you can used to improvise your own walking bass lines. You'll find out the best notes to pick that sound great every for any walking bass line.
Walking bass lines are commonly found in Blues and Jazz but you'll also hear them in other styles of music too.
To play a great sounding walking bass line you can use:
1. chords tones - root, 3rd, 5th and 7th
2. scale approach notes
3. chromatic approach notes
4. dominant approach notes
This bass video tutorial is suitable for absolute beginner bass players through to intermediate bassists.

Great lesson Greg! I have completed the first 3 Modules of Walkin' Thru Jazz and find this lesson to be a good simple summary of the techniques covered there. I will enjoy working through these exercises and then dive into Module 4 of WTJ!

@GregsBassShed 2 года назад

Great Richard, good to hear that you are working through the Jazz course. This lesson fits in perfectly. I’m fact I might add it as a bonus video.

@GrimpleGromble 9 месяцев назад

Great lesson, thank you!

@GregsBassShed 9 месяцев назад

My pleasure!

@williammorson1535 Год назад

Greg you have opened my eyes like nobody else has thankyou. Now I've got something to work on. All credit to you. God bless you.

@GregsBassShed Год назад

Really pleased to hear that William. At some point at you exhaust the information in this video then have a look at my Jazz walking video course: gregs-bass-shed.teachable.com/p/walkin-thru-jazz

Great stuff. I am a guitar-player who just bought a Bass & I want to Learn-to-Walk. I can play Motown, Reggae, Classic Rock but I can't Walk. Enjoyed your lesson. oNe LovE from NYC

@GregsBassShed 2 года назад

Great to hear Michael. Hopefully it will also help if you ever do any walking on the guitar too! Glad you liked the lesson. Peace and love from London!

@ruthkearin3721 2 года назад

Thanks Greg. This is a game changer for me. I’ve never made up my own walking bass line. Can’t wait to try it.

@GregsBassShed 2 года назад

Have fun! Once you get these walking basics down you'll be away creating your own lines.

@Ghost_Vulgarian 2 года назад

Great as always, Greg. This makes sense to me, which is no mean feat. I'm off to practise now. Excellent.

@GregsBassShed 2 года назад

I’ve achieved my aim then!! 😀 Enjoy your practice session.

@StevenDoyleLuke 2 года назад

Love the contour of these lines . . .

@GregsBassShed 2 года назад

Cheers Steven. You can get some really linear lines with this approach.

@shedthestate5739 Год назад

Great lesson Greg. I really like to turnaroud. It is a good technique builder to try and tame my flailing fingers

@GregsBassShed Год назад

Glad you liked it. Yes, good for technique to loop round turnarounds!

Excellent video Greg. Have you got flats on the Jack Casady? I play mine every day. I love it.

@GregsBassShed 2 года назад

Thanks Mark. Yes I’ve got flats on my Jack Cassidy. They work so well!

@avatacron60 2 года назад

Cool, do you have to use Aguilar to learn how to walk?

@GregsBassShed 2 года назад

Yes you do! Only joking, of course not! Use whatever you want...

@MrPdudas 7 месяцев назад

Hi Greg. I;ve been trying to figure out the logic between all your walking bass lines and there are few things I just do not understand. In the Walking a 2-5-1 Progression 1 where does the E come from in the G7 measure. I thought the chord tones in G7 are GBDF. The same with progression 2 Dm7. I see a G in the line where the chord tones in DM7 are DFAC. Help please..

@GregsBassShed 7 месяцев назад

Hey, good question. You don't have to use chord tones for all the four quarter notes in the bar. Definitely use chord tones for beats 1 and 3. For beat 2 and 4 you can use other scale notes or chromatic notes (notes not in that key). So these notes on beats 2 and 4 can be a bit more 'random' as they just join up the chord tones on beats 1 and 3. This enables you get smoother walking line without as many jumps and leads to your walking line sounding more musical. Does that help?

Hello Greg, unless I am mistaken, it is a pity that the currency for the backing track is in dollars because we Europeans have to pay additional exchange and bank fees for purchases in dollars! would it not be possible to charge in paypal as for your lessons!!!! Thank you for this very informative lesson and for your answer!

@GregsBassShed Год назад

Hi Giles, I have to pick one currency for my online shop so dollars makes sense because that market buys the most stuff. But there is a Paypal option at the cart page on my website. Would that work ok for you? Cheers

@gillessamson2355 Год назад

@@GregsBassShed Yes if the currency of the option is euros otherwise I'm afraid it won't change anything! thank you in advance, because I don't want to force-feed the banks unnecessarily! Musically

@GregsBassShed Год назад

@@gillessamson2355 I just tried and it converted dollars into pounds via PayPal. I guess it would do the same for Euro, also with no fees? I agree with your sentiment of not giving the banks anymore money than necessary. It’s a pain that I can only charge in one currency!
