Sign in to disble this ad
Hi guys, sorry its been aaaaages since i last posted, I've had a really heavy work load for the past few months so fitting in everything has been tough.
Anyhow, i've just done a new video lesson (with my new camera - yipeeee!) on how to improve your swing feel with your walking bass lines. You can check it out here... How to improve your swing feel « Scott's Bass Lessons
I've uploaded it onto my new site which at the minute is on Scott's Bass Lessons - *THIS SITE IS NOT FINISHED* (loads of info/pages missing etc) - but i thought i'd let you have a look at it so you can let me know if there's any problems loading it up etc.
When it's finished in a few weeks it will be transferred over to Scottsbasslessons which is where my old lessons site is at the moment.
As always, if you've got any questions fire away!
Easy,

Slower tempos, like the above video lesson, are closer to 'triplets', but as the tempo accelerates, the eights become straighter.
Swing is really passed on aurally - listen, listen, listen.
Very good video! |

For writing and reading I like to use straight eigths with "swing" at the top of the page. 12/8 and 6/8 gets hard to read, I think. But, I agree that swing is basically triplets eigths, but can vary a tad, depending on various factors.

| | | | Hey Scott, do you think that you could do an extension on your arpeggio videos to enclosing chord tones etc.
Cheers
Chris

| | | | It's using a note above and below a chord tone to enclose it. |

Or is there more to this "enclosing" concept to learn?

| | Registered User | | | | Yup... there's more to learn 
It's like anything, the concept is super easy... putting it into practice... not so easy LOL! The problem on bass is the actual fingering of the left hand can be quite awkward when your playing quite fast. There is a way round it though which will be in the next tutorial that covers chromatic enclosures.
