The Greatest Walking Bassline Approach (You’ve Probably Never Heard Of)
#jazz #bass #walking #tutorial #jazzlesson #paulthompson
A technique not nearly covered enough when it comes to walking bass and developing good lines. This technique is used on just about every great Jazz album you own and every bassist needs to know how to do it. Deceptively simple, you’d be hard pressed to find a great Jazz Bassist that hasn’t utilized this approach. #4notes #4beats

I am switching to Double Bass, I am convinced.
Thank you so much! I used to play classical, but never joined jazz. I keep my old upright in my classroom for a unit that we do on sound.
The other day I played pink panther on it while they were working, and they loved it. I think it might be fun to learn how to walk properly so I can do more wallpaper gigs for my students when they want me to.
I really gotta get one of those keyboard faucets
Not one mention of the man pictured in this video. Thats so sad and sisheartneing
Nice! How about walking down the fifth, all scale tones? E.g., Fmin7, Bbmin7, Eb7, Abmaj7: F-G-Ab-A | Bb-Ab-G-F | Eb-F-Gb-G | Ab-G-F-Eb | Db etc.
yes
Heading upstairs to practice right now! Great video
What a beautiful timbre
I loved playing "wallpaper gigs" with my bluegrass band; nobody was really listening so we felt free to experiment and mess around with arrangements while getting handsomely paid.
I'm just getting back into upright bass and love your channel. Thanks!
actually used this in autumn leaves..without knowing it
It's moving in 5ths. 5ths. It is the cycle of 5ths. You are a great educator thank you for your great work.
Very helpful ???????? what about going back to
Awesome thanks????????
This is quite good. Thanks.
Great vídeo. Thank you!
man , i have been doing these background gigs for over 30 years,,,and never heard that so on point expression! Wallpaper gigs..
Great talk, thank you! Is it a descending pattern like this walkup ? A walkdown ?
Appreciate the shorter no-filler format. There's too many YouTube videos now that are ten minutes long, regardless of the actual content
This bass teacher is genius. Circle of fourths= brilliant lesson.
Wow. This is great info that I never thought about. Thanks so much.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you very much
"I've got some practicing to do" was my thought exactly just before you said it. I need to run through all the keys more often.
Hello!
Can somebody help me?
what is skips? It's on 0:33 , but I don't undestrsatnd
This is gold that you are teaching to people are just getting started on walking bass lines. Kudos to you sir!
This video was i.mensely helpful. I just got a bass sax and am trying to go from being a lead instrument to a bass line player and had no idea where to begin. I've always found theory more useful than transcribing. It's much easier for me to apply a concept than just copy others.
