Oscar Peterson Walking Bassline Lesson

James sent me a Pitch asking to elaborate on Oscar Peterson's bassline in his C Jam Blues video. In this video, I dig into the 2-feel solo piano bassline technique that Peterson uses.
Please Pitch me other requests at greg.weebid.app
Hope you enjoy.

I enjoy jamming to this bassline so much as Greg Spero's solo inspired me to learn it.

What blues form is this? 12 bars? I just find the chord changes a bit different from What Im used to. What changes are you playing Awesome video!!

[@James-fl2ug]

hey greg can you please break down some right hand scale notes and how you swing it. i cash app you a donation of 20 dollars. thanks

[@James-fl2ug]

When you play the single notes with your right hand are they coming from the blues scale as well or is it just pentatonic?

[@weeklypiano]

Both - there are licks that involve one and the other both separately and together
