I used walking 5ths before I knew what one was, playing by ear. Learning theory and sift reading has helped my understanding of music so much. So much fun! Started playing when I was in my 30’s and became obsessed ! Thanks for the great video.

would have been nice to put a 'v' in the last Cmaj bar on the 'steps' methode. It sounds kinda stupid to be honest to just walk in cmaj while as a bassplayer you can actually just play V's wherever you want (kind of). Makes the two boring cmaj bars more interesting...

@PIANOSTYLE100 4 жыл бұрын

This is related to the rootless voicing question. A voicing will not have the root..except in the Bass. There has to be a root. Take the C maj.chord..C E G B D.. . It's just a Emin 7 Sans the C root. Another thing..the base player can play the C. Etc. Nobody will be stepping on each other.

Wait, so a walking bass line is just a line that mainly moves in quarter notes and has a chord tone on beats one and three. Or am I missing something?

@LeakyJAZZ 4 жыл бұрын

No. I'm a bass player, not a pianist, but when you walk the bass, you usually play the chord's root on beat 1 and then anything else that leads to the next chord.

Pretty much. I hate when bassists constantly play notes on the "one" of the chord that have nothing to do with the chords. I mean its ok here and there to play but when every damn chord has something other than the root and they say "this is what all my jazz books tell me to do" 🤢

Going down from G to D is a fourth not a fifth. Going up from D to G is a fifth. A better way to describe what you were saying, you go down a fourth from G to D to reach the fifth of the chord G.
