In 20 min you have given me probably 6 month of hard work . I'm really grateful as you give directions and goals to our practice. grazie mille Alessandro

As a new bassist with so little time to practice, this will be a lesson that can give me solid structure to practice time. Thank you.

Playing walking bass is an art form, so please take it seriously...at the end of all your precious and illuminating advices and informations you gave us in this vid, this is the most relevant. "continuous improvisation" they used to call it in the '70ies, and that's the name of the game!

easily the best lesson on walking i've ever seen on youtube. concise, practical, and good examples.

Dude. Thanks! I'm merely trying to program a walking bassline, it's exactly as complicated as I thought it was - but with your stern guiding will, which barely belies such genuine passion, you have shown me the way and I'm enthusiastic about approaching it now!

[adrianlevi]

Your tone is spot on - nice authority, punchy and round . Thank you

this may be the best instrumental tutorial ive ever seen. you cover so much in just 20 minutes, enough to allow you to play a decent walking bass on just about anything if you apply everything here!

A fun, non-jazz example of a drop to a lower minor third is the repeating bassline on Stevie Wonder’s “ I Wish”!

Wow! So much to unpack here. I think it will take me 6 months to work through this.
