(Bass Instruction). 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 available online using the
unique code in the book, 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.
