Excellent lesson, absolutely loved it. I meant it is a very easy approach on a very complex subject. This combined with all the chord voicings I learned from your course is giving great results.
There are many ways to walk over several measures of the same chord. Ascend and descend from root to 3rd and back to root, is a simple one , using a combination of approach notes as in the 2 final examples. For Imaj to Imin, just follow the "rules" I proposed and when changing chords use the notes in the new scale as the basis . Of course, an understanding of chord-scale relationships is assumed...
@@RichieZellon hi, thanks. I did search on channel but didn't see. As I follow link, I see I have already watched part 2 coz I see I posted a question 2 weeks ago regarding chord substitutions
@@RichieZellon Remember, the Banjo was in the jazz band before the guitar, but it was a tenor banjo, which allows for easy chords since it is tuned in fifths - CGDA
Excellent lesson. Man-o-man, I really struggle with the walking bass. So much so I quit trying. Frustrating beyond belief. To pull it off smoothly anyway. In any event, this lesson has inspired me to give it another try. Thank you Richie for doing this for us. It's very much appreciated!
Glad to be of help! I recommend that if you do these exercises, you initially leave out the nuances such as ghost notes as they are not easy, especially if you have difficulty with just playing the lines. Depending on your level, it can be a slow process, but hang in there!!! :)
@@RichieZellon Thank you Richie. I appreciate your reply. I play half way decently and can play bass lines, but it's coordinating them smoothly with the chords that has me twisted. Yes, I'm going to do the exercises and stay positive. Thanks!
I'm watching this with the hope that it will help me with my piano walking basslines. So far so good on what I see. Thanks!
Great, clear, simple and concise very well ilustrated. Many thanks!
Great video! Lot of good information and a clear explanation !
Looking forward to part 2!
Outstanding. Well done. I love these kinds of lessons. Clear, concise and extremely well presented. Thanks very much.
Thanks Don!
Awesome lesson Ritchie always wanted to know how the pros did it. Thanks.
Awesome. Looking forward to part 2.
Analysis has taught me pretty good...your analysis is like correcting my ideas or at least comparing them...thank you...
Fantastic!
Yeah, thats called getting it. The old time producer , John Hammond used to say if it's got a moving bass line it's got me.
Sounds simple, but not exactly easy...
Great lesson!
is anything worth doing ever ;)?
Yes, it will take some work...

@@diego2246 if i may, think about the bass motions and the chords underneath as 2 separate things. kinda like left and right hand on a piano :)
EXELENT ¡
How do you walk over the same chord for several measures or go from the major I to the minor i?

Great lesson. Really clears up some of the more rhythmic aspects...ghost notes and how they work with the bass line to swing it harder.
Very impressive and informative! What is a band in a box? Haha
It's accompaniment software that plays the exercises...great to practice with!
Did part 2 ever get made?

@@RichieZellon hi, would you have any suggestions for some chord substitutions in a min1625? Or any resources that discuss this? Big thanks :))
ok but what can you do with a Jazz Banjo?
mmmm...a jazz banjer?!? Try it at your own risk. It may get you excommunicated from the jazz community...Just ask Bela Fleck...LOL

Mark Freemantle Ha! finally someone who actually knows what a Jazz Banjo is.
i believe that's called really blue grass :)
