Nazgul28th October 2008Great, I sometimes play bass in my freetime, and this really helps me. Sometimes it's just cool to play bass instead of guitar for getting the "groove".
Emir Hot28th October 2008Very cool lines Bogdan.

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!
