The bass began to play lines instead of just the root at the beginning of the century. It went on to climb all chord notes and so became the walking bass. Everybody can instantly feel the "walking" character of this bass style. The piano soon adapted this accompanying figure for the left hand for blues (and jazz). In my tutorial I show you the basic principles of the walking bass pattern in blues piano in the key of C.
But we will also look at easy variations and some early tricks.
I will expand further in the second part inspecting extended blues forms and simulating upright bass playing techniques like "slaps".

At last someone who e plains the music and doesn’t showoff his/her piano playing…..thanks….

[@sls554]

Because they know that Jazz Daddy is the Raw Blues Baby raw, raw!

[@maryerickson4442]

Love your humor!! Keep joking while you teach! I'm subscribing based on your wit. Also like how you play with nuance which is actually rare in this techno world.

[@erikerichsen4520]

GREAT TEACHING! Every one can make easy stuff look complicated, but it takes a genious to make dificult stuff look easy. That is what professor Fuchs is doing in this tutorial. Just as he is always doing when giving lectures on line. It is for free, but just like in churh on sunday services you can give a voluntarely contribution. I am allready looking forward to the following tutorials in the serie on walking bas.

Enjoyed this

[@pedromeza2398]

Thank you once again for a very cool and easy piano lesson, love the way it's video, the camera looking down onto the piano keys; pure genius.

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Thanks Pedro! At first I had the camera look into my kitchen (cause that's so sad to see that everybody will get the blues), My learning curve was steep on KZbin! ;-)

[@erikerichsen4520]

!🤣😂

[@xyzxyz324]

Yesss man yessssss please more walking bass examples! This is so nice to listen and exercise.. love bluesss.. could you please focus on another video for the licks of this specific lesson, they are really tasty!

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

You should google my name and walking bass and wooosh, you might find a second part.. ;-)

[@jean2lahude93]

thank you Christian! Piano lessons are always too much advanced or too much idiot, while you are offering a betweening style between the styles in between, that's i really needed indeed, and i think a good teacher is a grooving teacher.. I said

[@yujie19691010]

伟大的老师

[@ArChemistry124]

Fantastic Teaching！I really loved the right hand licks besides the walking bass. Do you have video of the right you played in the video?

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Sorry,no.

[@benjaminmorris811]

Thank you so very much, Christian from Berlin! You sound great as usual. Can you guide me to one of your tutorials where I can learn those right hand licks? I really appreciate you and your channel . Thanks again !

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

I have playlists. one is called "licks"!

[@benjaminmorris811]

Indeed you do - so much to work on ! Have a great weekend Christian and thanks again for all your time :))

[@MusicForRelaxing]

Really swinging. What do you suggest one do to learn those right hand phrases to combine thoses left hand walking bass lines? thanks

[@pierreduchene-marullaz8463]

Wonderfully blues teacher.Please in first play slowly your right hand.I can not remember your right hand play . Veil dank herr professor

[@19841947]

Seems you play the second note of the pattern with finger 2 on C chord but 3 on F and G. Any reason ?

[@gavinr]

Wish I could do the right hand that you play

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

I wish you couldnt, cause you might also open a tutorial channel and become my competitor. ;-)

[@gavinr]

@@ChristianFuchsBlues I learning g fast though....

[@robbery30]

So sad I'm left-handed! It's very difficult for me to do those thrills accurately with right and left is only walking bass! Happily other stuff suits me better!

[@davaxschinko]

Every day you need to walk the dog.

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

and the line.

[@davaxschinko]

btw. these tutorials pt1 & 2 are killer.

[@damarisfuenteslorenzo]

But if you change from a C blues to another scale, you must know the notes, not just the hand pattern.
