In the Black Church, you gotta really know how to walk, man.

They can get up there in those tempos.
So, _ learn this one note for note.
Memorize it.
That way it won't hang you up.
It'll be in your head and you'll be able to concentrate on the tempo.
It's in G and it has a very specific bassline.
So, the sooner you start memorizing it,
the sooner you'll be able to play it at that tempo.
Let me go ahead and do it for you. _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ [C] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _

[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ This is a gospel tune at a very fast tempo,
utilizing one note per beat,
also known as walking bass.
I'm using one finger on the right hand to pluck
because I felt like you should know how to do that.
[G#] Everybody should know how to do [G] _
playing.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ It's a good thing.
I play a [G] lot with one finger only. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ Okay, so, anyway,
so this gospel tune,
the form is eight bars long
and it repeats four times [G] in this one minute snippet
for a total of 32 bars.
It ends on a whole note _
[B] on the D string.
_ Memorize every note and play it up to speed
to build endurance and use your one finger to pluck.
You can turn your hand at an angle [G] like this.
[F] _ [G] _ _ _ I don't know if you can see that,
but _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ [G] _ _ kind of like upright bass playing.
_ _ [G] _ _ [F#] _ [G] _ _
_ _ [C] _ [A#] _ [C] _ _ _ _
[D] _ [F] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ [G] _ Get as much skin on the note as you can. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
[F] _ [G] _ _ It's a nice thing to know how to [F] do
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ because the one digit [C] sounds different
_ [Am] than different from two notes,
two fingers playing.
[G] Like if you go like_ _ _ _
Two [F] _ [G] _ [F] [G] different [F] _ [F#] _
[G] _ [F] _ [F#] _ [G] _ [F] _ [F#] _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ sounds.
You need to have that in your arsenal,
playing with one finger. _ _
And also, try and play on top of the beat
and play legato and keep everybody chasing you.
Don't rush.
Don't make it uncomfortably far ahead,
but there's a fine line in playing a little on top
and not rushing.
But definitely push forward in the pocket
and keep driving.
_ _ There are many well-used bass lines
that you really should know presented here
in this one song.
[D] _
[F] _ [F#] _ [G] That's one. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Here's another [A#] one.
[B] _ [C] _ _ _ [F#] _ [G] _ [B] _ [C] _
[E] Another one.
[F] _ [F#] _ [G] _ That's a big one.
[C#] _ [E] _ [F#] _ [G] One finger per [F] fret.
_ _ [F#] Try and play right on the fret. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ I play right on the fret. _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ [N] You gotta get that together.
Very important lick.
_ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[C#] _ [E] _ [F#] _ [G] _ _ Enjoy. _
