Hate Playing Modal Songs Like “So What”? Make Boring Walking Lines Beautiful! (3 Tricks)

[@marylaf]

Best bass teacher on KZbin. Knowledgeable and a ton of fun!❤

You're too kind @marylaf!

Great video Luke! This is something I really struggled with some years ago. I (wrongly) assumed “So what” would be an easy song to practice my recently acquired walking bass basics... I got so frustrated at how flat and lifeless (or worse yet, senseless) my lines would sound. After some struggle and listening to lots of recordings, I somehow ended up playing the same “game” myself and made some sense out of it. Having this video back then would have saved me so much time and frustration!

That Spector looks and sounds amazing. I have to play both songs in less than 4 hours. Thank u for this.

[@amazingict1]

This is so useful... I’ve been playing for 8 months now and am finding your lessons brilliant. Thanks. Richard Uk

Brilliant just what I needed to move on to another stage of my learning. Love your videos and supporting handouts. You are a star in these crazy times

Great to hear @nola baylis - hope it all helps!

Greatest bass video of the year. Answered a question so deep I had never verbalized. Now I know that freedom from root slavery is The Way. ;)

[@BecomeABassist]

This is The Way...

[@danieldray6773]

Very helpful basic ideas to motivate experimentation. I like the way you use simple music theory as a jumping off point for musical intuition to achieve a good line. Just what a beginner like me needs. Thanks for lending a ton of clarity to constructing walking bass lines!

[@reidhester]

Hi Luke, Thanks. The audio file though didn't download when the pdf file did.

Make a video on soft rock fills

Where were you and KZbin 48 years ago when I was learning how to play bass?

[@fmbass]

No está el audio, solo baja el pdf

[@yael2102]

Isn't in DM11 ? It makes more sense. isn't it?

[@BecomeABassist]

If you want to be *super* technical, you can think of it as being a D-6 chord, but thinking in terms of D-7 or D-9 or D-11 works just as well.

[@Eimrine]

2:21 I love fucking unsalted

[@jordanfehlig2238]

How about songs that have 2 chords a bar like Bemsha Swing by Thelonius Monk, are. By John Yao?

[@BecomeABassist]

I’ll make a lesson about that very soon @Jordan Fehlig

[@jacobjammin7693]

What editing software do you use to edit in the sheet music?

[@BecomeABassist]

I use Sibelius, then export to PDF, screenshot, then drag into Final Cut and sync.

[@taroakt]
