Jazz guitar - walking bass

[Robert]

Here's a good lesson on how to play walking bass lines.

This is a great lesson. I like to experiment with these kinds of things.
Is that an L5 that he is playing? Cool guitar, and expensive too, but it sounds great.

This is a very good lesson. He does go a little fast for me, but I plan on watching it many times over.

That really is a terrific lesson. I believe I follow mostly what he said, but to be able to execute is another matter.

I've actually been spending a little time here and there trying to learn how to play jazz by learning how to play the ii-V-I progression in different chord voicings, but I have not been able to incorporate melody playing into the mix. This should help if I spend enough time on this video. How I wish I have him for a guitar teacher!

A few week ago I put flatwound strings on my Heritage H535 to get it to give me more of a jazz sound. This lesson would be a good incentive to spend more time playing guitar.

Very cool! Will probably take me a long while to get it up to speed but seems a great skill to add to the quiver.
