You put it so well! This video is probably one of the best on the internet explaining walking bass. As an internet only taught bassist, I greatly appreciate this.
I agree Eli! I am primarily a guitar guy but am getting very serious about bass! New to Luke and feel that his lessons are in the league of Steve Stine"s lessons whom I feel is such a fantastic guitar teacher! I made a strict rule for myself when I put a bass in my hands is to think like a bassist and not like a guitarist! Luke is helping me stay in that framework!
I love that you put that Tabs and notes on screen. its hard for new players to keep replaying the same 10 sec clip trying to learn the pattern without the tabs.
I've ben playing these 5 formulas over and over and found that by counting 1-2-3-4 as I played. it helped me see that every time I was starting on the root. This was a sea change lesson for me. Thank you Luke.
I played trumpet for almost 10 years, but I've started playing bass and I had no experience with chords and chord progressions and needing to understand them But learning the patterns of the fret board and watching this helped me use the music theory skills I already had from trumpet, being able to remember the scales and transfer them onto the bass! Thanks !!
Played bass since HS (teen rockband), church gospel and always wanted to do bass walking but never could. Until seeing how you did it on this video. Now I gotta get working on it. Thank you!
Luke, I have listened to all the RUclips guys, and want to say yours will help me move forward. Its precise, no showy "stuff" and doesn't loose me in those who want to show me their knowledge of music theory complexities. I appreciate you and looking forward as I restart my bass learning.
Mind blown. Like 25 yrs ago I played bassnin rock band and it was boooooring. Now i bought this badly held punk bass that i fixed. I never felt anything like this with bass guitar. Thanks bro. I am having fun here !!!! Got to make my own backing track
Having come from a guitar background and only picking up the bass 3 months ago I always wondered what the mystery was behind walking baselines were. This video just simplified it and within less than 5 minutes after watching this video I was playing walking bass lines. I know it's not the final or finished article but the mystery has been demystified. Thanks Scott!!!
Walking bass was a technique I have needed to work on in my playing for a long time. Your tutelage has made it easy for me to understand and experiment with! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
That "huge ugly leap" is actually used a lot too, it's kinda cool when used sparingly. Just something one shouldn't overuse and be careful when to do it
Another internet taught bassist (almost) from the covid era, thanking you for the easy walking bass lesson. I'm 3 minutes into it and really appreciate it. Thanks again Luke!!
I'm totally swingin' these walking lines. I'm of the same covid era. Just got my acoustic Fender about two weeks ago and I'm ready to start a band. :) Have a feeling I'll need groupie repellent. (j/k)
Wow. Thank you so much. Finally a lesson that I can easily understand. I looked so many you tube films. This is the first I really understand and have quick successes. 👍👍👍🙂
This is such a fabulous explanation/demonstration of walking bass! Makes me want to shout, laugh, dance. I first viewed this video and learned the techniques Luke is teaching here back when it was posted, and since then, everyone I play with thinks I'm a friggin' jazzer!
What a brilliant video, I've been struggling with walking bass lines for so long, and in just 20 mins, I'm already jamming to jazz bass tracks. Thank you so much Luke!
Thank you, it has been said before but to say it again this was a transformative lesson for me. It brought several elements together including an introduction to walking bass, chord integration and even simple rhythm in a simple digestible, approachable way.
These videos are obviously intended for current and aspiring bass players, but they are also helpful for people looking to expand their knowledge and appreciation of the music they listen to.
As an intermediate guitar player I've recently purchased a bass. All these tabs are brilliant plus the scales with a bit of tweaking I'm sure I will have many sounds to play through my loop pedal 👍
Pondering Luke. I am learning bass. You teach well. The Bible says, A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance and doeth good like a medicine and he that winneth souls is wise.
Very clear, thanks. The other thing you can add to the mix is instead of always going 1,2,3,5 you could come down from the octave above 8,5,3,2 etc and like the other techniques mixing up what you do as Luke says. Keep hearing about these common progressions but most of the pieces our swing band play seem to be more complicated!
What a great lesson for us newbies! I love the patient, repetitive and well-explained way that you presented the material. I will definitely look for your other lessons. Thanks so much.
Wow, what an amazing lesson! For a begining bass player and first look at walking bass lines, I learned so much! I'll be back here often for the next few weeks! Thank you!!!
hi luke - long time no see :) this lesson is so good for me - becouse i already know the scales and where is what an the neck but i didnt know that i can use this 1-3-5-3 for plaing jezz SO im gonna practice now on this / so funny this is an old lesson of yours .... Israeli gritting and care
I love your teaching style. I'm learning after a 50 year ”break”. I love discovering that the bass lines I was winging back in the 60s were actually based (no pun) in theory!

I play classical guitar but now dabbling with the bass for recording purposes, finding your channel super useful, appreciate the work , thanks 🙏🏻

Wow, I’ve been playing guitar for 40+ years but I’m falling in love with bass thanks to your help.
Luke explained it so well. I now understand walking bass lines. It's like taking a walk in the park, on your bass. I am a big fan of his videos!
It took forever to find lessons on walking basslines that made any sense. Thanks for breaking this down to a level I can understand

"...doesn't lose me..."
From an old has-been bassist, a most excellent lesson! Formulas 4 and 5 are a great start to sounding like a jazz bass player.
Mind blown. Like 25 yrs ago I played bassnin rock band and it was boooooring.
Now i bought this badly held punk bass that i fixed.
I never felt anything like this with bass guitar. Thanks bro. I am having fun here !!!!
Got to make my own backing track
Every bass book i found didnt explain how to write walking bass lines. Thanks to this video i finally got it.
thank you Luke
very useful lesson
walking bass made easy !!

Haha! No worries glad I could help. And it’s Luke btw.
@@BecomeABassist omg. My apologies Luke.
This is VERY Helpful!!! Thanks!! I've been playing for 7 months and am wanting to learn walking. This is very good.
Walking bass was a technique I have needed to work on in my playing for a long time. Your tutelage has made it easy for me to understand and experiment with! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
like your style thanks for the great bass info...
Great lesson, thanks
Nice bass walk at the end
Nice and clear to grasp. Nothing new under the sun here but the communication and professionalism helps make the info more accessible.
wow i really like youre videos and how you teach them
I found backing tracks to be extremely helpful. I've started gaining speed using long backing tracks and once I hear the melody I've got it.
Its some of the best bass lesson I've seen
That "huge ugly leap" is actually used a lot too, it's kinda cool when used sparingly. Just something one shouldn't overuse and be careful when to do it
With great power, comes great responsibility 😂
Fantastic!! Thanks Luke!

Amazing! I'm so happy to hear it Carlton.

Excellent!!!
Thank you so much! You are a TRUE help for beginners. Thank you again.
Thank you very much
Thank you si much
Pondering Luke.
I am learning bass.
You teach well.
The Bible says, A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance and doeth good like a medicine and he that winneth souls is wise.
There is no god
@@MenkoDany A merry heart does you good
This is great!
This is great; it can be adapted to other genres, too. It's the most useful lesson yet!
Wow!! As a fairly new bass player watching numerous videos on bass playing, this tutorial is one of the best!! Great job!!!
thank you! i watched other walking bassline lessons and couldn’t grasp the concept, but you made it easy to understand
Glad to hear it's making sense to you now @bilnabiln
Thanks Luke, for a super lesson. You've given me the courage to finally tackle the bass.😊
so how it was going ? its been a year now lol
Thank you! This video finally made it click for me

Awesome walking bassline learning tool Luke !!😱🎶😁
Really good stuff. Mainly a guitar player but lately also love to play bass!

You're welcome @Chester Burnett - I'm happy the lesson worked well for you! That's always great to hear.
this is so simple and well explained
thank you
I've checked out a lot of beginner walking bass line videos - this has been the most accessible and helpful I've found so far. Thanks :)
Awesome to hear! Thanks for checking it out.
Thank you so much!
Great lesson. Subscribed
Just perfect! Thank you!!! With that approach: the secret of bass lines are revealed 😘

Happy to help @Erin Veldman! Let us know how the jam goes tomorrow!
Fantastic!! Simple and Clear! Well done!!! Abs
Thanks Marcelo - glad you like it.
One of the best explanations about walking bass lines, the others just confusing!
cool tip, for every other chord i used to desend, 8765.... same like 1235
Thanks Luke! I’ve been trying to get my walking bass down recently. Very helpful!
You're welcome Sean! Glad to hear it's helpful!
I love your teaching style. I'm learning after a 50 year ”break”. I love discovering that the bass lines I was winging back in the 60s were actually based (no pun) in theory!
Excellent!!!
Luke!!
You're a Master!!!
Thanks this is very helpful to get me started! I need to work on some jazz basslines for a new band I'll be playing with and I've mostly played just bluegrass/folk/Irish music on double bass before.
