The point of using slashes is to leave room for personal interpretation and improvisation.

Hmmm...guess I'd have to learn more theory before I can use these things properly, then.

Yeah - I've got loads of charts like this - these are the most fun to play. But you need to know how to construct a walking bass line from the chord symbols. There have been loads of threads on this around here - or basically you need to pick up a book like Ed Friedland's "Constructing walking bass lines" - it's not something you can pick up overnight or explain in one post - I see it as a lifetime's study and something that very few people totally master - like Paul Chambers.
