Walk Like Paul Chambers 

Friendliest man on youtube?

Honestly the best music lesson i've seen on youtube.

These thought out guided practice sessions are saving my life! And it's exactly at the right level of engagement that my adhd brain does not want to wander away. Please keep doing them!

Chambers was beyond a phenomenal beast!!!!

Guide tone Two Feel is Dope! You’re Killing it Bob!🤩🎶💯

I've been a "root" walking bass player for almost fifteen years. It surprises me to see how often it's left out entirely in these examples. I look forward to practicing with that in mind and improving the sound of my lines.

this video has so MUCH VALUE, amazing work, thank you so much

As bass player who’s been trapped in “start at the root” purgatory for way too long.... mastering this as a 2 feel first, before jumping into the walking bass line.... such a simple but really, really effective approach. Thank you!

That bass looks so awesome. I love all the scratches where he plucks the strings.

Wow, what a great double bass lesson. I'm not a bassist but I'm learning something great about the Bebop language. Thanks.

Dude you are a great bass player and a cool guy

Excellent work as always Bob... Thank you for doing this

Excellent lesson. Thanks!

Thanksss @open studio for sharing this beautiful video!

Thank you for great lesson 👌

Paul Chambers is my most revered and studied jazz double bass player. Being a student of electric and just taking up the double bass a little over a year ago, I have gained a whole new appreciation for what he did with his instrument, in such a brief lifetime. This is definitely inspiring, as I embark upon my life-long journey to better bass playing.

28:36 really nice phrase

Hey Bob, I hope you check these comments after your stream has ended. I just wanted to express how grateful I am for these videos you commit your time to sharing with us. It is my favorite resource for improving as a bassist since practicing on my own, I often end up wandering somewhat aimlessly and spend a lot of time, not really improving. Your focused sessions really help me improve on concrete, useful techniques and provide a very implementable understanding of core aspects of playing the Bass. Having someone that knows what a real bassist should be for this genre, historically and can communicate it is invaluable. I often feel discouraged towards practicing because I feel that I'm not improving, until I find your videos and am inspired to pick up my bass and play along with your session, because you provide direction! And by the end, (after repeating some parts) I can hear tangible improvement in my ability to sit in as a jazz bassist that other musicians can enjoy playing with. So thank you more than words can say. I feel bad that your videos don't get the most views, as they should. This content is really helpful to any growing bassist that doesn't have the opportunity to take lessons with a master class bassist, as you are filling that gap out of the kindness of your heart and love for the instrument, which really carries through the video and makes me excited to be a part of it. So thanks again.

wow, you are a great teacher and player. thank you for these videos!

Great lessons ,TY! Inotice PC does this cross string ,almost turnaround lines in his walking ..'If I Were A Bell ' comes to mind...love it if you can explore crossing strings ,not so much shifting In a lesson ! Thnx J Pz

Thanks Bob! A very inspirational course.

Such an excellent teacher and lesson- wish I had this years back

Great presentation Bob. I love your sound and methodical approach. Dizzy Atmosphere was in Ab with the great Slam Stewart on bass

Beautiful topic and execution

Thank you kindly

Thank you so much From PARIS

Got some ideas from this. Some of these lines are simple, yet so effective.

Bon soir monsieur, un grand merci pour cette vidéo , vous avez gagner un abonné

very helpful thank you!

well done!

Brand new here & to Double Bass .. I'm old 😪 and as a rock/ pop Bass player always found walking Basslines an absolute NO NO ...total brain freeze ...but Sir -- The Paul Chambers box set of CDs 💿 in my Landrover are utterly beautiful. Your lessons here are Concise Inspired & interesting. Maybe there's hope for me yet. Harry Blue x

Chambers is the best

Thanks for allowing me to sit in class bro!

An old trick to avoid blisters is to use New-Skin when you first feel them forming. You'll thank me for this.

Thanks Bob. I am (Raul Robinson) from Facebook. Gracias.! This is really cool structure to follow. I will be working on it..♫♪♫.♫ Monday, January 25th.,2021

the tune you hummed was kenny dorham straight ahead and it is in Ab!

Great lesson ! some kind of systematical approach that let you choose what your ears like better. Some solution sounds, some not ...

it's super crucial to understand that in Bb, G7 is not a "VI" but "V/II". VI would be just Gm

Hello Here David the great

👍

This is a nice refresher course for me as I haven't played rhythm changes in a long time. Too bad however that I was unable to get the PDF. I tried about 4 times, subscribed of course, checked spam folder, nada. Used different email addresses too. Maybe the computers have Sunday off?

Question. I’m not sure if we will ever know this but I have always wondered something about Paul chambers and many of the upright players. We all know that jazz is improvised music. Do you think Paul wrote these lines out before he played them? Or is it the type of thing where he was playing this music all the time so it just flowed out subconsciously

Wouldn't your note choices be dependent on what the soloist is playing?

Excellent ! What do you program your drum track to?

challenge : make a bass line only ascending or descending !

For me there's something special when the bassist is using lots of chromatic approach tones and I'm playing altered dominants and Tritone substitutions not just on Rhythm changes. I mean we're entering this higher echelon of chromatic density especially on some standards.

53:27 for four measures? 😁, just joking, thanks

I really love this Hampton Hawes version with Red Mitchell on bass. Lovely basslines at 1:45. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lpz_PjA071I.html If you could, at some point, take this to soloing on the changes that would be great. I'm not bad at stringing some ok walking lines together but always screw up trying to solo. Even at slower tempos.

Mr PC 🥹 I think Bob should change his first name to Boo 🥹

For new bassists can you explain the fingering?
