Thanks man!

Oh wow, this is great! In this chapter, we learn to be careful what we ask for (But Maaaatt, how do we KNOW we are playing the proper walking bass line??) You answered it, on many levels, from the immediately accessible to the extremely complex, and it will take some additional time and study to understand the complex answers. Absolute gold. Many years ago when first getting started, the most useful early advice was "Don't worry so much about scales, there is too much information there - Focus on the CHORDS which are much more easily understood and digested". This approach worked great for years as a rock cover band bass player, but led to an almost unbreakable tendency to approach playing from a root-third-fifth-octave perspective in what, I am now learning, is called the Ionian mode. (I think?) While the chord-based approach proved a great way to start the journey of becoming a bass player, the detailed approach being presented here opens the map to the next part of the journey. Mostly what we do is PLAY what we feel, (and drink scotch whiskey, all night looong) and here today we are presented with the music theory language necessary to TALK about what to do. Sometimes, it becomes difficult to discern what sounds/feels best, and some tools are necessary to assist in the process of finding it. Thank you for moving us along the journey. This is what we come here for.

this is all gold; thanks!

I normally don't comment in these discussions'..... but I think that,,, we must not forget that, music is a language and that a series of slangs notes are used to cross those bridges... to make a statement. These guys are communicating at another level.... And now we are interpretatiing after the fact...

Thank you so much for this!! You've provided a lot of helpful information in a very clear way - definitely the most comprehensive deep-dive into this topic I've been able to find to this point. Suspect I'll be using this video and the lesson materials as a reference for some time. Looking forward to future videos 🙏

You're very welcome!

Great lesson, l would be interested to see how you would write a walking line not starting on the root and what rules govern your choices

Thanks Trevor - yes this is a good idea!

Great lesson ,l will check out your book. I am also interested in taking this process further and am interested in your course. My main interest is understanding changes and nots to play, plus complementing the melody and injecting interesting rhythms to complement the harmonic changes
