Very interesting and good sounding solutions! Another solution is countermovement in the bass line: When the melody goes up in F (second count), G, A to D, the bass can walk down the scale F (first count), E-Flat, D and C to B-Flat. There's a dissonance on the second count – F and E-Flat together, but it sounds only a short time. Excuse my english! I'm german. I've learned so much from your videos in my short holidays this week. Thank you so much for this.
This Accompany Yourself series is ver good. Thanks Aimee
Hi Aimee, My name is Tina from Argentina, and I am always seeing your tutorial videos, I really love what you teach and how you teach it. I will leave here the walking bass line transcription, hope you like it!
Thank for every thing!!

Hello, Aimee! I would like to ask you about bassline for comping over dominant chords . I noticed, that some pianists use regular fifth in bassline, while their right hand plays voicing with b13 (or #5)
. For example, on G7+9 – Cm7 in right hand will be B-Eb-F-A# for G7+9 chord. Is it normal to play in left hand something like this G-D-Bb-B-C? I ask this becouse of dissonanse beetwen voice D in left hand and Eb in right hand. Is it better to play Db instead of D in left hand line? (sounds a little tense)
I liked the way that sounded.
Thelonious would of dug the rubs
Helpful Thanks
Wow. I know I have a long way to go with this, what would you recommend to do to help get a solid understand of the different chords (M, m, dominant) in each key?
i wish i played piano so i could try all this out
gracias !!!!
Dear Aimee, I'm learning lots from all your videos and really loving it. I can't thank you enough for them. I notice that most of your accompaniments for singing are walking bass lines, which are quite a modern sound. I was wondering if you could offer some tutorials on accompaniments for more traditional jazz standards e.g. I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Right Myself a Letter, All of Me etc. I'm guessing that these would be more of a stride technique, which looks quite tricky. Thanks so much!
sounds good to me …but maybe I need more ear training……….rc
This additn'l info is great. Wondering… So the grace notes are typically chord tones?
very good dear .congratulations …I am from Brazil do you play bossa nova ?
Couple of cats who were real good at this sort of thing — Mozart and Bach.Check out fugues and inventions – crazy stuff, man!!!
You play guitar with no nails?!
How do you play piano and guitar?
I was looking for the 1st base line, what is the title of it, I couldn't find it
just wondering; if you have a chance you could make a vid with a list of cherry picked songs by you (10jazz/10blues) that are for a person interested in 20th century jazz. like a book of short stories but songs for a jazz/blues naiveté
Great video Aimee. One tip that I find helpful for transcribing bass lines: You can transpose an mp3 file up by (say) 1 octave using software such as Audacity (it's free!) By doing that it often makes the bass line really pop out. It changes the pitch without changing the tempo.
just great. thx. sent you pp, -s.c.
Thanks for this Aimee, I've been battling with walking bass lines for some time now and struggled when there was 2 bars on the same chord. You have helped with that. Thank you
Luv this one, the guy who commented about the original base line I think was right but hey if it's jazz do what you want with it!
Hope you agree?
