wow. Just... wow Scott. That has to be the easiest and simplest way to start walking bass Ive ever seen. this is what Ive been looking for. Thanks!

[@devinebass]

No worries Brian, great to hear you enjoyed it! :)

Scott, you drive that thing like a beemer on the windie through the curves while finding the apex of the turns and smoothing out the tighties making them lucies all the while holding the pocket and driving the groove, you are an animal. thanks again!

Scott's Bass Lessons please tell me how do you link gm bar seven into g7 bar eight with out jumping frets?

[@Chicgeek2014]

He Scott, what’s a good brand for bass amps

[@aletapearce2369]

Brilliant! You start with this and expand from there you just can't go wrong.

[@simonbowkett124]

Doing this on my NXT upright at the moment. It makes me think about open notes and dropping down to the 5th instead of the natural thing of going up. The chromatic leading tones really make you think more on upright.

[@NickRosaci]

Oh man, I was wondering how you would handle the Am7b5 at such an early point in a lesson, and it was so perfect! And chromaticism was explained so well! I send a lot of my students to your channel to review our lessons, and I'm glad I do!

[@fudgesauce]

When describing how to find the 5th above the root, at 4:53, Scott says it is three frets up. NO, it is two frets up. They way Scott is counting, the root is "one fret up" from itself. You are moving up one string (a fourth), then two half steps (two frets) to get to the fifth. Obviously, Scott knows where the 5th is, but he is describing it in a bad way which is confusing to people trying to follow along.

[@bombodelamuerte]

Awesome vid Scott. As a beginner bassist this exercise was really revealing. Thanks a lot!

[@haldir255]

Nice :) just today I wanted to practice my walking bass a lot. Thanks!

[@96binghong]

MIND = BLOWN, this is absolutely a great tutorial for a beginner bass player, just discover this channel recently and I absolutely fall in love with this, thanks for the amazing content ! keep it up

[@96binghong]

Btw I am curious of the glove you were wearing on your left hand, does that affect the tone or is it use for protecting your finger?

[@myblueguitare]

Thank's mister Scott. I follow you as much as i can. You allow me to make a lot of progress. Continue again! Thank you so much!

[@IWinsomeIllosesomeI]

Man i love your videos. I just bought a bass a couple months ago. I havent been playing much but I still watch your videos literally everyday. I follow a few music youtube accounts but i find myself always just watching these videos.

[@england101510]

Great lesson, thank you! I dusted off my old bass recently that I bought years ago and your videos have been a huge help.

[@dalehymes6004]

Scott, as always, a FANTASTIC approach to getting it. I continue to learn from you. Thanks!

[@matthewdubovik7350]

OMG I have learned so much, I’ve only been transcribing walking bass lines but never could improvise, this is the first step! Thank you!

[@goranmitrovic77]

I have never seen such usefull, efficient, easy to watch, fun, channel as this one. Love your videos!

[@SNTOSN]

Great!. A simple lesson, straight to the point, and really helpful. Walking basslines is really one of the basics one must learn. I can create them for a song, but I should practice improvising over chords on different styles o music I don't usually play, so I can get a different kind of feel or groove or swing with each style.

[@MillyWhatever]

Friend your videos have changed my life each one in its own way! Do not stop!

[@ShrimpsTonic]

Exactly what I needed... Thanks man!

[@devinebass]

Awesome... have fun in the shed man :)

[@GuichoSax]

Just to let you know, this is so easy to understand at the pont that earlier today I was asked out of the blank to play 3 jazz standards tomorrow on bass and, I'm a saxo and I've never played a walking jazz line on bass and of course I'm walking them all now thanks to you!!

[@GeoZero]

Well that was an eye opener. Amazing lesson... as always. Thx

OK this is more gold dust. Coupled with visualizing the chords across the fingerboard; really opens it up.

[@lucalull13]

@DavidNika can you tell what chords are those?

[@davidnika446]

@@lucalull13 Wow, I forgot all about my comment. Anyway, I don't know...I'm really bad at theory. Maybe I'll stick the audio into my DAW and try to reverse engineer it (my DAW has a chord detector..never actually used it, but now I will). I know you can look at his fingers, but I always do something wrong when I try to replicate what he's doing.

Great lesson and excellent, concise formula of employing root-3rd-5th + related chromatic to walk through changes. Bonus points for raised-eyebrow technique for differentiation between major and minor sounds! Love your lessons Scott. After test driving these videos and freebies for a few weeks, I'm sold and will be signing up for the whole megillah this week.

[@devinebass]

Lol... thanks for the bonus points man. Groove on! :)

[@ruthlessadmin]

There is one trick that I figured out on my own (but later saw a video of you teaching it), which is the 5 pentatonic shapes. In terms of bang-for-buck, it's hard to imagine walking bass lines being that good. I mean, I went from being locked into one or two positions, to being able to move pretty freely across the neck in just a few hours. Within a month, all of my fumbling for notes and getting lost on the fretboard have almost vanished and my bass lines are naturally a lot more interesting now. And I only practice a few times a week due to life...

[@What_If_We_Tried]

Sweet! Love this lesson.

[@hahabass]

I'm going back to this stuff as feel I never learned and applied the 'basics' properly. Lately I've noticed walking the whole 'form' of a tune like Autumn Leaves, in one position on the fingerboard, is a really good exercise. Anyway, thank you so much for this. Bloooody brilliant!

[@FoxPeaTwo]

hahabass you missed an opportunity to say applied the ‘bassics’ properly

[@alexhamilton4084]

My god! I learned something today. Something that probably everyone but me knew. That is, when you play a string on one fret then the one above is a fifth but the one below is a fourth. I always thought it was a fourth in both directions. Thanks for that Scott. 👍🏻

[@Rikkiii222]

I LOVE that bass... It's so nice :D

[@juliodifelippo]

Though I am playing walking bass for decades I am amazed about how musically just root ad 5th sound if you give it some rhythmical attitude.
