walking bass
A hands-on rhythmic practice that introduces two related bebop ‘rhythmic words’ to practice against a walking bass using half-note pulse.
This lesson walks you through two connected rhythmic motifs (words) and shows how to apply them against a steady half-note walking bass so you can lock your right‑hand rhythms to the left‑hand downbeats. You’ll learn starting and ending placements, a pickup‑note variation, and how to shape phrases with small leaps to connect to chord targets. The video demonstrates applying the words to the A section of "Afternoon in Paris" and emphasizes steady bass rhythm over speed. A downloadable PDF of the exercise is provided for members.
