This is the real stuff on jazz bass. I've spent 50+ years using these same ideas and charts – and had a lot of fun!
Hi, where can I get the pdf of the score of 'Autumn leaves' that you show in the lesson? Thank you!
????thanks for not doing wanker fusion????
This is one of the best tutorials covering the theory of walking bass lines I’ve ever seen.
Excellent video! Suggestion: after your explaination, why don't you play a few choruses for illustration?
Good teacher! Thanks
excellent .. thank you ! I was looking for advice to improve my playing… here i found it.
Very very very good video. Thanks.
But: everybody plays Autumn Leaves in G starting Am7. Better did the same.
thx techer
Thank you Dan. I played pop music acoustic guitar for many years, but did not dig deep enough on theory. Learning bass guitar with theory to open up to new types of music…specifically jazz. Your teaching style is great !
Nice Merry Christmas
You play it but show not what notes your playing
Great video.
Hi Dan, Thank you very much Mate. I'm a new starter into Jazz and didn't realy know where to put mu head.. but Autumn leaves is great start. Just to let you know i've learnt something right throught this video.
Fantastic lesson as always, clear, precise, and no nonsense!! This may sound a little strange, coming from a blues/rock background, but I was secretly a Blues Brother fan, got into your book Soul, RnB & Motown, which I’ve always wanted to play. Now here’s the weird bit…
from applying the lessons from the book I’ve now got shed loads of Soul, RnB, Motown and Funk tracks down. By pure chance I got to re-hear Van Morrison’s Moondance, hooked and came straight to your channel. Since I subscribed to your channel I’ve gone through a musical transformation, Blues-Rock-Soul-RnB-Motown-I can now sight read-writing my own chord charts, and my knowledge and playing ability, despite losing feeling, in a finger or two, of my fretting hand, has gone to a level I never thought I’d reach. Phew, this has been a “Wham bang thank you ma’m” rollercoaster ride. Down to you Dan, thank you!!! Right I’m off, where did I put my P bass…
This is great. I have the Autumn Leaves version in G and having followed your lesson all I have to do is follow the Arpegio shapes and everything falls to hand in fourths. Simply great. This coupled with your lessons on Major Apegios, minor, Pentatonics and Blues chords and Arpegios is such a fantastic help with playing Bass. I'm hoping to play Bass in a concert band, they play from manuscript and I find sight reading and knowing where I am on the neck is difficult but these lessons help with position playing. In any case I just love your lessons, makes me eager to go and practice my Bass. Great, keep up the good work.
Very interesting video, and I have subscribed.
HOWEVER….I found the too many links below confusing, and
I couldn't find the 'link below' for the exercise in the video, nor the
music chart you were reading from.
Nevertheless, a very encouraging lesson, and in the words of Schwarzenegger:
"I'LL BE BACK!"
Hi Dan! I love this lesson and want to really dive in to practicing these jazz standards. When I first heard these type of lessons they seemed way too difficult. But now I think I'm ready for them. Did you include the pdf for Autumn Leaves? I couldn't find it.
Good stuff, I can see how this can be a very helpful to get a grasp of other styles as well as it's universal.
That's a great tone, by the way. There's something going on with that Ibanez! ????
I have watched a few Autumn Leaves bass tutorials and inspected the scores and have noticed the cord progression follows something similar to the circle of fourths…. Is this a good assumption? Please elaborate. -Thanks!
Thats some amazing bass guitar you have.
Great follow-up to 'Creating Basslines Over A Chord Progression.' Both are really helping.
Isn't a C flat = to B Major ?
DAN I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH WALKING BASSLINES AND I DON'T KNOW WHY
NICE VIDEO YOU EXPLAIN THINGS VERY WELL LIKE MARK SMITH
Excellent lesson.????
Thanks, Dan. You seem to have the balance right between making sure you cover everything at this level and not overwhelming us with information.
Thanks Dan much appreciated by the way what is that nice bass you have ?
As a intermediate saxophone player, learning bass guitar, this was a great lesson, especially for the jazz players. Thank you. ????????????
Love these lessons on jazz standards. Please keep them coming. Thanks
Your materials are always great. Would love to see you do a whole book on it. [with tab 🙂 ]
this is a good one Dan!
Well I never knew I wanted to learn how to play jazz until now
Thank you for this excellent Exercise ????
Query: In your experience, if you're in a jazz group where you're allowed to play bass guitar instead of double bass, is it expected that you'll play fretless or is the group leader not going to care? Depending on the bass you can approximate a fretless sound even on a fretted bass.

Very interesting jazz coverage. I agree with how you described the jazz art form. A lot of good information in the video. Is the melody mostly used in solos? Years ago, I heard Ron Carter and others in jazz before listening to the transition to jazz fusion by Stanley Clarke and others. How different is jazz and jazz fusion technique from each other? Thanks Dan!
Love it!
