This comes from Rufus Reid's fantastic jazz bass book, "The Evolving Bassist". Reid recommends writing out your bass lines BY HAND using a pencil and music paper. As you go, play what you've written and ask yourself if you like how it sounds. If the answer is yes, keep writing. If the answer is no, erase and change it. It's by no means a revolutionary method, but it's surprisingly effective. You'll internalize walking bass vocabulary more easily and improve your music literacy skills too. You can download the finished walking bass line typed up in MuseScore PDF format from my Patreon page. https://www.patreon.com/jaredplane Credits: "Take The 'A' Train" backing track by Jamey Aebersold from Volume 66 - "Billy Strayhorn" #taketheatrain #walkingbass #jazzbass
