Waking bass lines appeared at bopland.org http://bopland.org/find-lick.html?time=4%2F4&changes=Fm7&search.x=0&search.y=0&is_ext=1&page=1&quest_id=40&items_per_page=10 I guess it's more interesting for bass players, but some lines there are cool for guitar too if supplemented with proper chord...

WELCOME, Monkfish!!! :beer: I played classical guitar too for a while... Came to jazz after all.

Sorry for those mistakes, I meant walking bass chord comping: see from 1:50 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE5ZhBHy6Rs Try the same comping on 2and & 4and instead of 1and & 3and. Sometimes sounds better imho. The best practice is to combine both approaches. Yet it far away from you question...

There were not exactly to the point. Chomping with bass is usually played like this | bass chord bass bass chord bass | ... Try chord | bass bass chord bass bass | ... instead

A good practice is to emphasize upstrokes preceding 2 & 4 (sometimes even 1 & 3) Try these patterns d U - u d U - u d u d U - U - - d - d u d - d U - U - - d - d - This is also true for chomping with bass. Usually one plays bass 1 2 3 4 and chords on 1and & 3and. But try chomp on 2and &...

resembles gypsy music a little, or am I smth missing?

In most cases it works for playing alone too as long as you keep 3rd or 7th in the bass. Play Fmaj instead of Dm7 and some guitarists will envy you.

Discovered this trick: When play with bass I often omit the roots of chords delegating this function to a bassist and play 3rd or 7th instead. E.g. instead of standard changes over | A7 | Dm7 | A7(+5) Dm7(9) ----------- -6-------5- -6-------5- -5-------3- ---------5- -5--------- I often...

Oh, I see you are a big fan of Joe Pass too :) Thank everybody!

Hi all, I am almost 30 and I've been playing guitar for 16 years. At first I tried to play rock on Hamer-like strat. It wasn't actually a piece of that brand, just a fake but the sound was quite pleasant and the mahogany fret was very convenient to play so I enjoyed playing it. Then I spent...
