A walking bass line is the most common approach to jazz bass
playing, but it is also used in rock music, blues, rockabilly, R&B,
gospel, Latin, country and many other types of music. The term
'walking' is used to describe the moving feeling that quarter notes
create in the bass part. The specific goal of this book is to
familiarize players with the techniques used to build walking bass
lines and to make them aware of how the process works. Through
the use of 90-minutes' worth of recorded rhythm tracks, players will
have the opportunity to put the new learning directly into action.
This book literally gives bassists the tools they need to build their
own walking bass lines.
