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.
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.
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
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 👍
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!
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 !!
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!
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 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 Luke. I find your lessons very useful. What I appreciate in particular are very clear tabs and notes provided to learn from by a beginner like me..
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.
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, 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!!!
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
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. 👍👍👍🙂
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.
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.
Nice lesson for beginner bass player like me to give me something I can work on.. Switching from 6 string guitar. I find your teaching technique most enjoyable.
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!!!
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.
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.
Thanks so much Eli - I'm happy you got so much out of this lesson. And thanks for your kind words as well!

Eli...agreed on all counts!

Wow, I’ve been playing guitar for 40+ years but I’m falling in love with bass thanks to your help.

With great power, comes great responsibility 😂
That was surely the clearest explanation of walking bass I have seen!!! Thank you very much Luke!!!

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.
Thanks' Luke for sharing your musical knowledge with us great lessons.
thanks Luke for your great instruction. You break it down so simple. You are a great instructor. Mr.Jazz

Nice and clear to grasp. Nothing new under the sun here but the communication and professionalism helps make the info more accessible.
Спасибо за книжку. Благодаря вам, всё встало на свои места в моей голове.
You explain things so well for beginners and make it so interesting to play bass! Thank you for this video!
It took forever to find lessons on walking basslines that made any sense. Thanks for breaking this down to a level I can understand
I play classical guitar but now dabbling with the bass for recording purposes, finding your channel super useful, appreciate the work , thanks 🙏🏻
from Argentina, muchas gracias por tus videos, son increiblemente instructivos.
Thanks, my dream of playing walking Jazz bass has come to reality. Thanks to You!!!!
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!
This is exactly what I like to hear Matthew! Thanks so much for letting me know - this is awesome!

You're welcome Fred. Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words as well!
So simple to understand! Thank you!!
This is great; it can be adapted to other genres, too. It's the most useful lesson yet!

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.
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!!!
Wow!! As a fairly new bass player watching numerous videos on bass playing, this tutorial is one of the best!! Great job!!!
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
Thank you so much! This approach was the eye-opener after the technical videos I watched before!
Thanks Luke, for a super lesson. You've given me the courage to finally tackle the bass.😊

This is VERY Helpful!!! Thanks!! I've been playing for 7 months and am wanting to learn walking. This is very good.
Great video, really. Perfect for people who dont have yet a solid basis on musical theory, very accesible.
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. 👍👍👍🙂
My teacher in college was absolutely horrible.. wish I had this back then. Thank you!
