If your walking bass lines feel clunky, repetitive, or stuck bouncing between roots and random notes, this lesson clears things up fast. Scott and Ian break walking bass down into four simple, plug-and-play formulas that help you move smoothly from chord to chord and actually sound musical. Using the A section of Autumn Leaves as the example, you’ll learn how to build confident walking lines without overthinking every note.
