Hello GMC!
-In today's lesson we are going to cover the "4 feel" walking bass concept. That means you will learn how to improvise a bass line with a steady quarter note movement. We'll be using concepts from previous lessons in series, so if you haven't - check them out now, before proceeding!
-This will be a 4 feel line, that means you will be playing 4 quarter notes in a bar. I composed a simple jazzy progression that will help you get in the right mood for improvising!
-This lesson is in the key of A. All notes will belong to A major scale. You will encounter different chord types along the way - you are already familiar how to improvise over them.
-Key: A
-Tempo: 120 bpm
-Time signature: 4/4
-Tuning: standard
-Difficulty: beginner/intermediate
Equipment I used for getting this sound was: Peavey Cirrus bass with active soapbar pickups, equal mix of both of them with added treble and middle on onboard eq - then going to the nemesis (eden) amp with a 1x15" and slightly added bass and treble there (at 1 o'clock position).
Feel free to ask me any questions in the lesson feedback and in my instructor board at forum.
Enjoy and I hope you'll have a lot of fun walking through this one!
