Playing a walking bassline is one of the coolest things EVER! And lucky for us, once you have some basic rules down, it’s not all that difficult. In fact, in today’s lesson I’m going to teach you how to create your own walking bassline in less than 5 minutes!

In this lesson you’re going to learn:
- Why it’s a good idea to always start with the root note.
- How to use (and apply) different chord tones to navigate the fingerboard.
- Why chromatic approach notes can be super important.
- How to give your basslines more melodic direction.
- And much more!

As always, see you in the shed…

Scott :)
