This is an extension of my first “Walking Bass” tutorial where I discuss the basics of walking a bass. This time I use the same concepts in a pop context in order to expand on the principles.

1st example

Progression: A – E – F#m – D

Rhythmic Motive: (1) (2) (3) + 4 +

2nd example

Progression: Em – C – G – D

Rhythmic Motive: (1) (2) (3) + a 4 e + a

Thank you!
