i gotta say dude really awesome bass line,,im learning it wathcing you video and i cant wait to practice it and practice it till it sounds great!! thanks.
Hey you're playing some cool stuff in your lines. Don't listen to haters. You just need to work on your time feel and I think you're making it difficult for yourself by always shifting when you walk. You need to find a way to stay in one position for a while.
@rosaydunn80 Actually I disagree. Interesting walking bass requires constant changing of positions. Watch a good jazz bassist and you'll see their left hand moving all over the neck. Staying is one position will sound repetitious very quickly. FYI, I'm a bass player of almost 40 years.
I saw some stupid, shitty comments so I thought I'd leave you some encouragement! Keep at it - I'm sure you're better already. that's why they call it practice. Geez. I enjoyed your vid.
Look at the key and start one tone up, a minor scale with minor 7th. Thats dorian mode. It servs the whole song. D Dorian: D,E,F,G,A,B,C,D, all natural
You can change dominant chords in somany ways, you can create an imensitude of scales.But in the D7 you can hit the natural F, is an augmented 9th,the blue note. If you prefer D7b9, simetric scale, if you alter the 5th, hexafonic,if you alter the 9th AND the 5th, superlocrian. But allways try to simplify when you give a clue to a newborn improviser.
Nice dude. You definately got the idea, but one suggestion I'd make is to play with walking ideas more cause you're tending to play the arpeggio itself a lot which is fine, but you never want to overuse one thing.
hey do you know where i can get that midi??

@tbcass well if you have a 6 string bass you can stay in one position more time.

@yogsothoth2099 True but even when I play 5 or 6 string basses I can't resist using the whole neck. :-)

You certainly know your way around the fretboard with your arpeggios. Keep it up!

No it doesn't. The scale changes when you hit the sixth chord. It changes to D, Es, F, Fis, A, Bes, C, D

I wouldn't walk until the B section. Just a nice simple line with a few chromatics thrown in. Nice fills though.
