Hi all! This week I'm looking at walking bass lines on the guitar. This is a really useful accompaniment style in jazz, but I also hope the video will be of some interest to non-jazzbos looking to try something new. 

Tab can be found below. I've written out exactly what I play at the top of the video and also the simplified version I play later on in the lesson. 

Hope you enjoy it. Next week I should probably do an Xmas-themed video. I have a few ideas already, but do let me know if there's anything in particular you'd like to see me do...

Hope everyone has a great week. Speak soon,

Adrian
