Walking bass lines can be an absolute mystery - especially for beginners. Someone shoves a chord chart in your face and expects you to know exactly how to get through it.
In theory, it should be easy. You just have to play 4 notes per bar, right? In reality, it can be a lot trickier than it sounds.
The conventional wisdom when it comes to learning how to make your own walking bass lines usually boils down to 2 things:
#1 - Learning millions of fancy scales and arpeggios; or
#2 - Spending years transcribing existing walking lines from famous recordings
Now if you’re serious about your walking bass lines, you should absolutely do these things. There’s no substitute for putting in the work.
But what if you don’t have time to learn a million fancy scales or arpeggios? Or you don’t want to spend years transcribing walking lines? What can you do then?
Well, instead of going through all that, you can actually get started very quickly and surprisingly easily. In today’s video, I want to show you how get started with walking bass lines using 5 simple formulas.
The walking bass lines that these formulas make will definitely get you started and help you out in a pinch.
However, if you want to get serious about your walking bass lines and get them to the to the next level, then be sure to go here:

Fill out the form on that page and sign up for the Ultimate Guide To The Modes For Bass. Not only will you get the Guide, but I've also put the tabs and notation for all the lines in this lesson in there as well as the practice track from this video so you can try all of them out for yourself.
Of course, the notes in your walking lines are just one part of the equation. We haven’t even started talking about how a walking line should feel. That will have to wait for another day!
Of course if you have any questions about walking lines, just let me know in the comments below or send me a message through the site.
