Walking Bass Lines: Major Triads

[MrJuanneri]

I have learned more from your videos then 3 months of bass lessons. Your videos are straight to the point the real deal. Thank you so much for the videos. Happy Walking!

so nice to see someone using proper left hand position. -all i see on youtube is jazz guys playing solos all over the board using only their first 3 fingers with their 4th flailing wildly in the air. this is so refreshing to see someone play correctly.

[Yondaimeku]

@bulletman100 there is no playing correctly. Music is about sound and so many people miss that. If it sounds nice to the person playing it then it's being played "correctly"

[bulletman100]

@Yondaimeku i guess i mean that there is no playing 'correctly', but there sure is playing 'incorrectly'. hey thanks for your comment!

You should get a medal for putting these videos out

Bill, great teaching thanks so much. Have you ever thought of doing a lesson about incorporating 6ths?

[painter1955]

Your bass really sounds good! Tell me about it! Also: are you taking students?

[frcwolf]

@painter1955 Yes I am accepting students - in person if you live in the Chicago area or via Skype if you don't. Drop me an email if you're interested. bill (at) billharrisonmusic (dot) com

[thepurplebottIe]

[frcwolf]

@thepurplebottIe Sorry for the late reply. The painting is called Jazz in Red by Ann deLorge. Visit her site: jazzartpaintings (dot) com

Thanks Bill, I've just switched over from an electric and you have been a GREAT help in making me a better stand up bass player. Keep posting your video's your a great teacher.

[szgumba]

Usefull information and a good realistic Bassound. I'm waiting for a good 'Tab book' for the Upright.

[JederLacht1]

Good luck with that. It won't happen.

[Xubdux]

Thanks for the post but what about walking bass lines? Maybe a blurb at the end on how someone could apply this info to create a walk would be helpful.

[Isoquant]

Here via kutiman. Nice technique!

[hardcider09]

Bill Harrison, rocking out in Kutiman! You're great!

[memiclist08]

in the b chord the triad goes b, "Eb", f#. not a#

[frcwolf]

I was wrong to say A# but it is actually a D#. There's no Eb in the key of B. But thanks for pointing out the slip.

Hey Bill,

I really like your videos. Very straight forward, and easy to follow. I can't wait to see the other chord types. Good stuff.
