A simple way to practice and figure out walking basses is to memorize and master first all the chords of your progression.
Then play the root of each chord appart and add gradualy a passing note before the root note to create the walking bass.

The chords of this progression reminds me of "All the things you are". Still I really figured out everything myself here.

Step 1: Memorize the chords untill you can play them without the sheet and without leaving pause in between.
Step 2: Play the root note separated from each chord to have you first bass note. You can play the bass root note with the thumb
Step 3: Add a passing bass note before each second chord. That's your first walking bass. It is usually a half step before the next root.
Step 4: Add a passing bass note before each chord. Perform slowly without leaving pause or accent. You have your walking bass jazz lick ready!




If you follow each step without rushing or skipping, you will be able to perform this in 20-30 minutes from now.

  • You are awesome! I like it that you aren't talking in your video's, because in most video's you have to skip 2 minutes before they are going to play. Just show us what you will play and then slow down, just like you're doing. Thanks for the upload!

  • @mdognirvana Very appreciated thank. There's the text tutorial + the template chords sheet with the video. Still spoken tution videos can confuse I agree if the teacher talk too much and explain like for himself.

see all
