[G] _ _ [C] _ Hi, and welcome to my tutorial
_ _ 1625 Jazz Easy [E] Walking Bass Lines
In this lesson we're using a four string bass
and the notes are tuned E, [A] A, [D] D, [G] G
or standard tuning _
We're going to play 1625 by simply playing [C] this
[A] Those _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [C] notes are C, _
_ _ [A] A, _ [D] D, _ [G] and G
_ We're playing in the key of C major
and the C major scale is C, D, E, F, G, A, B _
The 1625 notes in that key are C, [C] which is 1
_ [A] A, 6, _ _ [D] D is the second note, _ [G] and G is the fifth _
_ Now we can play this [C] in any key by just moving it up and down the fretboard
referencing the root note
C is the root note in this key
_ [D] D would be the root note in the key of D
and you play it this [Bm] way
_ [E] _ [A]
So we're just playing this little box
[Db] D flat, _ _
[Ab] _ _ [C] and so on
So we can play this in any key on any two strings
We could play it down here _
[G] _ _ _ _ or [Bb] [G] the middle strings
[D] _ _ [B] or wherever we want to play it
_ Now we're going to start this very simply by playing half notes
Half notes are going to be counted [E] this way
_ [C] 1, 2, [A] 3, [D] 4
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ Let's crank up our band in a box backing track and see how that [C] sounds
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [C] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ [C] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[G] _ Next, we're going to jazz it up a little bit by adding some leading tones
These leading tones for this one are going to be the note [Gb] before the note that we're going [C] to
or a half step before it
Say for instance we were going to C _
We go to C [Db] sharp first [C] and then play that note
[A] If we go to an A, we'll play the note [Bb] before it
And [A] _ if we go to [D] _
the D, we're going to play the note [Eb] before that one
[D] _
Like that
[B] So we're going to play it this way
[C] C, _ _ the note before [Bb] A, [A] and then A
_ _ _ _ [E] The note before [Eb] D, and [D] then D
_ _ _ When we go to [Ab] G, we'll play the note before G
or one fret [G] ahead of it
Like that, it'll sound this [C] way
[Bb] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Db] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [C] _
_ Let's check and see what that sounds like with our backing track
For _ _ [D] _ _ [F] _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ [Db] _
_ [C] _ _ _ our next line, we're going to lead in ahead of the note Like this
[Ab] So _ [A] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Gb] _ _
[G] _ [B] _ _ [C] _ _ _ what we're doing there is going to our C
And then we'll go [Ab] to A flat, and then [A] A
D [Db] flat, and then [D] D
_ _ [Gb] G flat, and [G] then G
It's [C] going to sound like this _
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ [Gb] _ _ _
[B] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
Let's check that out with our track
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ [C] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ [D] _ _
[B] _ _ [C] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
[Em] _ _ [C] _ _ [A] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ Alright, for our last line, we're going to mix the previous lines
So what we'll do is we'll go to C
_ And then we might [Bb] go above the next note
_ [A] Come down
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [D] And then this time around, we're going to go below the [Gb] note
[G] And _ [B] _
_ [Cm] _ [Ab] then mix it
[A] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Db] _ _ _
[Bb] _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Db] _ _ [C] _ _ And so we can come up with endless variations on that
Let's see what that sounds like with our track _
[Bm] _ _ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _
[A] _ _ [Gbm] _ _ [B] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [E] _ _
[Eb] _ _ [D] _ Well alright, _ that's 1625 _ Jazz Easy Walking Bass Lines
