Product Description
Book Description
A walking bass line is the most common approach to jazz bass playing, but it is also used in rock music, blues, rockabilly, R&B, gospel, Latin, country and many other types of music. The term 'walking' is used to describe the moving feeling that quarter notes create in the bass part. The specific goal of this book is to familiarize players with the techniques used to build walking bass lines and to make them aware of how the process works. Through the use of 90-minutes' worth of recorded rhythm tracks, players will have the opportunity to put the new learning directly into action. This book literally gives bassists the tools they need to build their own walking bass lines.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book overall!,
By vince arizzi (Crown Point, IN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Building Walking Bass Lines (Paperback)
Being a musician already, I like this book because it doesn't move to slow through the beginning. It gives a few pages of introduction to music, but it doesn't overkill. The progression through the material is excellent as well. The pace is good, and explanations helps to make these exercises worthwhile.I would highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to expand on their prior bass knowledge, and get into some jazz and blues. I have taken big leaps in my playing, and I haven't had it for very long.

It's easy to start "walking",
By L. Graca "lmgraca" (Portugal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Building Walking Bass Lines (Paperback)
It's a very interesting book, with lots of good exercices. I particularly liked the way how Ed Friedland introduce the reader in the way how to construct your own bass lines. He gives you space for you to do your own bass line, for you to express your own imagination. If you are a starter in this walking bass business, I recomend you to buy this book, you won't be deceived.

walk this way...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Building Walking Bass Lines (Paperback)
This book delivers the goods. You'll be playing good bass lines right away, and steadily adding more elements as you progress. The book gets five stars, butI didn't give the package five stars because the CD sounds fairly dull. All the tracks are recorded at slow tempi without much feeling. A few alternate takes with with faster tempi and more complex accompaniments would have been a big plus. A nice complement to this book is Epstein's "Blues Bass Handbook", which has the good grooves minus most of the music theory.
