@junior8833123 well the key isn't to memorize an exact walking line, but rather to memorize the chords and improvise a bass line that's different each time you play through it. Focus on memorizing the bass notes of each chord, then whether it's major or minor (or diminished) and then connect the bass notes using arpeggios, scales, or chromatic if you want to be jazzy, it's really all about hearing the line you want to play before you play it and just grooving with the drummer, Good luck!

@ErikCoveAndKnee just curious can you take classes just for electric bass or is playing an upright or acoustic a must?

@IAMinDreams It depends on what college. Most jazz studies programs (like UNT, etc.) will require a lot of upright work, more contemporary or commercial programs will generally focus on electric. I go to Belmont University and study Commercial Music and I have 2 years of upright private study, but I still do mostly electric stuff. I think playing upright is a great idea for your electric playing and for future work opportunities.
