A walking bass line is the most common approach to jazz bass playing, but it is also used in rock music, blues, rockabilly, R&B, gospel, Latin, country and many other types of music. The term "walking" is used to describe the moving feeling that quarter notes create in the bass part. This book familiarizes you with the techniques used to build walking bass lines. Through the use of 90-minutes' worth of recorded rhythm tracks on the accompanying online audio, you will have the opportunity to put your new skills directly into action. 64 pages.
