I'm just talking through the tune Peace. My 2 cents kind of thing!!!

Just talking about the tune and ways to play it. Come up with your version! 

The audio and the pdf is attached. 

I tried something new and talked through the piece. Is this helpful? 

Print out the pdf to not only practice but for notes with the video. 

This etude goes through the same chord changes as Blues for Alice. One thing to keep in mind is that when playing this etude with the additional ii-V-I's, figure out all the other tunes you can use these lines on. Also, try it in different keys!

Here's another dampening etude. We change keys here, Bb, another very common blues key. Some of these lines actually work great not just as bass lines, but solo lines! You can hear players like Hank Mobley occasionally playing these bass type lines.

In this etude, the quarter note remains consistent like an actual walking bass line. The challenge in this exercise is to keep the pedal down and the dampening smooth, making sure no notes ring together. Work on getting a really nice legato sound!

I did this solo for a student today. 

It's quantized so it will sound a little stiff on the recording. 

I wanted to show playing through the changes. using the scales. 

Might be helpful to some of you.

here's a link to the import file for ireal pro. It's an html file, just double click on it.

I learned so much from watching this. This will benefit so many of you guys I think! Let me know what you think. You want more of these? 

Check out the attached PDF!

Cool lesson. It turns into an etude once you get the chords down. Spend some time on this!
