Please SHARE and ENJOY!!
Chord progression:
II: Dm7 I G7 I Cmaj7 I Cmaj7 :II
You will hear extended versions of these chords on the track - as is common in jazz of course :)
A great place to start when building walking bass lines is by outlining the arpeggios of each chord in the progression...
Cmaj7 arpeggio = c e g b
Dmin7 arpeggio = d f a c
G7 arpeggio = g b d f
In terms of scales, the C major scale basically works throughout. Playing the C major scale will result in C Ionian (Cmaj7 chords), D Dorian (Dm7 chords) and G Mixolydian (G7 chords) - all the same 7 notes...
Next up, try out some more advanced colours on the dominant chord (G7/G13) by using the
G diminished 1/2-1 tone scale = G Ab Bb B C# D E F (G)
Also - try playing around with chromatic approach notes - meaning you approach any strong note (like a chord tone) from a semitone above or below.
