I'm not usually a fan of knocking other instruments but that was done with such class I'll give it a thumbs up.

[@JeanYvesP]

This is so good. I realized I understood what I needed already but didn't understood how to put it all together. This video got me started with better a foundation, Hours of practice and exploration ahead! I see the light! lol Thanks!

[@Lm9bar]

Brilliant lesson.

[@JensLarsen]

Thank you Lee!

@@JensLarsen Jens, enjoy vacation, you deserve it!! 🥳 👨🏻Gary. 👉aka Ships Ahoy..

[@maxwellshammer5283]

Thanks! It kind of blew me away the first time I heard Joe Pass play a walking bass line with his chords. I’d never heard that before.

[@rocketshiptoaltair]

Joe Pass did a few video tutorials himself and one covered the I,VI, II, V in comping but being Joe it was lacking in educational substance. It was helpful but not enough to get you on the road to success. This is much better. Starts off with the basics and by the end you feel a progression. Brilliant. I've been comping for a while and I know most of this but this reinforces everything in less than 10 minutes. I'd like to acknowledge the best comp player I've seen live is John Etheridge. He played some amazing stuff during a set break that was on the fly. Thanks again Jens.

[@JensLarsen]

You're very welcome! I am glad you like it! 🙂

[@Dmitri246]

your lessons are incredibly useful. I'm still not proficient enough at theory to follow you as you go but once I break down it makes a whole lotta sense. Thanks.

[@JensLarsen]

Thank you very much 🙂 I am glad you put it to use!

[@AntonioCarlosBrito64]

Thank you, Jens! Loved the tutorial/class on the walking bass line - I am originally a bass player venturing into classical guitar (and now learning Brazilian popular music, which is close to jazz). Cheers!

[@JensLarsen]

Great that you find it useful 🙂

[@gaborbolla]

Yes, yes and yes! Not only telling the what but how. I'm glad you made this video. Great value! I play guitar in a jazz combo with friends and the other musicians knows your videos as well. Specially the famous quote: 'Learn Jazz make Music' Thank you Jens! 🎸🙏🎼🎶😎

[@MAHGlie]

Excellent lesson! When I heard it I had to get my guitar, sit down and work it. You make this very easy to follow with both tabs, notation and your explanations. I'm actually (sort of) doing it. Thank you!

[@JensLarsen]

Thank you! Go for it 🙂

[@dc43tokyo]

Thank you Jens. I've been struggling with getting walking bass lines and creating my own chord progressions. Your lesson has given me a clear path.

[@JensLarsen]

Thank you! That is great to hear 🙂 Go for it

[@stuartarnold4495]

Thanks for a great lesson on walking bass that really makes it understandable, and easier to follow.

Fantastic lesson. Making the complex clear and concise, as usual.

[@JensLarsen]

Happy to help!

Finally I can start to comp a little bit. I’ve learned a lot from this awesome channel with so many valuable and informative contents. Thanks a lot !

[@JensLarsen]

Welcome aboard!

[@shipsahoy1793]

Great lesson Jens, thank you!😎 You’re the best Jazz guitar teacher out here!😉 I like the way you break concepts down, and then build them back up again. Very understandable.

I’ve been trying to understand the idea of such comping for few years with almost no luck :) And with this explanation it looks absolutely clear. Thanks for this video!

[@christopher-miles]

...this is unreal; literally was looking for a more efficient way to practice this... here it is! legend!!!

[@fredericadda]

I love that you take us through the process of building and improving a bass line. Very interesting.

[@JensLarsen]

Thank you, Frederic!

[@MrBradWi]

Great timing! This lesson came right exactly when I needed it! I've been struggling to hear the low end of "real" walking bass lines to find the secret. Until now I've been faking it by connecting everything with random chromatic notes inside a 6 fret span.... And it only sounds good when I accidentally hit a good leading tone, maybe half the time or less.

[@JensLarsen]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ancoopa]

So useful. Thank you for sharing Jens.

[@JensLarsen]

Glad it was helpful!

[@GregoryPearsonMusic]

Thanks for this lesson Jens! This looks like an important skill that one could use when learning a standard.

[@mikegallegos7]

I think you are an amazing guitarist and teacher. Thank you.

Excellent lesson Jens! Thank you very much for putting this together for us!

[@JensLarsen]

Glad you liked it!

[@erikt8116]

Thx so much actually I love the Joe Pass comping, he has been way ahead in arranging - also what not to embellish makes his music so flawless and adds this cool flavor even if he was not a cool jazz player per se. Anyways your videos are illustrative and very well organized, thanks so much

[@omcho89]

Fantastic lesson Jens, thank you :)! Will try to implement these advices/devices…

[@billyhypa]

Your videos are awesome! Fun, detailed, clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much!!!

The best lesson on walking bass lines yet. But wait a few months, and Jens will come up with some new goodies to share on the topic.

[@JensLarsen]

Thank you, René

[@edbergquist4745]

Seen Pass play a couple of times. He puts his pick in his mouth and uses his thumb sometimes. He has kinda two styles one picking with a pick the other his fingers... Great player, Great show

[@oceanspray6969]

This is so cool! Joe Pass is amazing

[@JensLarsen]

Glad you like it 🙂

[@ianleemusic]

Just got into using Martin Taylor’s walking bass lines book. This is the perfect addition and has inspired to take the next steps! Thanks Jens! P.S. fun to use Barry Harris scale of chords and 6 diminished scales to make bass lines and passing chords, etc.

[@JensLarsen]

Glad you like it 🙂

[@JJeff-mq9mr]

This man is just, just out of this world.

[@jeremyhickersonsalem]

Very helpful, thanks! The harmonized bass line (chord on every note) is a real interesting concept, and now that you mention it, I have heard Jim Hall do that.

[@JensLarsen]

Glad you like it 🙂 yes, Jim Hall does that on the album with Bill Evans

I Love you God bless you and I hope you live for a million years!!!!Thank you

[@PsyJaye]

Super class for me as I transition from bass to lead/rhythm - you are correct in saying bass is an art form that is percussive & the musical foundation but has also moved forward towards a first voice instrument... but you set off an 'aha' Jens because I had always thought either/or & can now see the continuum more clearly - thanks for another great presentation... Peace

As a Bass playar I enjoyeded the video Can you do a part 2 of this to and go deeper and more complicated ? Covering tritone subs and enclosure for the bass line ?

Thanks! I guess if you want some real advice on bass lines you should probably check out some of the Bass YT channels?

[@benkatof4240]

Great lesson Jens! - kind of expands on your blues walking bass videos which helped me get into this kind of playing. Been working on Joe Pass Satin Doll played in a trio, but was quite intimidated by his solo/duet style. Hopefully working more on this will help me approach that.

[@JensLarsen]

Sounds like you are on the right track :)
