How To Create A Walking Bass Line: How High The Moon Jazz Bass Line With Tabs

I’m going to be playing a walking bass line through the jazz standard Take The A Train and you can follow along with the music on the bottom of the screen. I’m playing the line on Double Bass here, but this is a great one to play on Bass Guitar too! This is an essential jazz standard made famous by one of the most important voices in jazz, Duke Ellington. I take a few different approaches to walking - going from keeping things very basic to integrating chromatic leading tones and more active rhythms. Hopefully some of these approaches will inspire you to try new things in your walking! Check them out and let me know what you think!
