“Walking Bass Lines for Jazz Guitar” by Stephan Badreau is a step by step guide to harmonizing bass lines on the guitar. The book will show the musician how to connect familiar chord shapes with the appropriate bass notes. It is full of ideas, examples, chord voicings and substitutions, as well as short chord progressions for you to try your new learned skills. All examples are played on the accompanying CD at both slow and normal speed, as well as a “drums only” version for play along purposes. Stephan has been using this approach with many of his music students to great effect.

a little dissampointed,
By k2 (Estonia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Walking Bass Lines for Jazz Guitar book/audio CD (Paperback)
I was really looking forward to receiving that book, because walking bass lines are such an essential part of jazz guitar comping and reviews for this book were promising.. so i expected more of this book. it really only involves some basic concepts, such as chromatic approach to roots and some very basic introduction to using chord tones and modes and substitutions. the material could fit in 1-2 pages, no need for a whole book.
I was actually expecting some real lines... and some more advanced/interesting/varied voicings. that book really doesn't go that far if you want to play some cool walking bass.. in my opinion, that is. But still, that book will get you started and it is a real good book just for that.

A Great Buy,
By Tim (Cypress,Tx) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Walking Bass Lines for Jazz Guitar book/audio CD (Paperback)
This is a great book. I would recomend it to anyone who is looking to learn some real jazz. It moves at a good pace and with the cd accompanyment you are able work through all the pieces and examples that might give you any trouble. It has a really good step by step approach and also gives you the opportunity try out the methods with your own progressions. I highly recomend this book to anyone trying to expand their playing.
