    INTRODUCTION

    "Walking Bass" refers to the quarter note lines playedby the jazz bassist. These bass lines are constructedusing scales, arpeggios, chromatic alterations and modes.The fundamental principle of a walking bass line is toestablish a harmonic and steady rhythmic foundation forthe jazz ensemble. This rhythmic foundation creates apulselike.that of &heart beat, pumping renewed life intothe rhythm of the music. It also allows the other musiciansto float along with the rhythmic undercurrent it creates.

    In order to make the traditional quarter note walkingbass line more interesting rhythmically, it is necessary tointroduce various rhythmic elements such as skips, slurs,triplets, ties and syncopated rhythms. These are executedwith various combinations of right and left hand finger-ings. These added 'rhythmic devices punctuate the bassline and enhance the groove. It should be noted that whilethese figures create more percussive effects, the overallfeel of the line should be smooth and even. These devicesmust be used at the proper tempos because if played outof context they will disturb the rhythmic flow and upsetthe forward motion of the line.

    As we apply the various rhythmic embellishments tothe walking bass line itis most important that the modernswing feel is maintained. Rhythms such asnhouldbe felt and played J~j) which is in keeping withthe triplet swing feel this book emphasizes.

    GH()ST SKIPSGhost skips are rhythmically played like skips but do nothave a definite pitch. They have a very crisp sound of asnap or a click, creating a very percussive effect.When the ghost skip is played on the samestring or on thestring above the following note, the left hand appliesslight pressure (tl"">'3eft hand does not press the stringcompletely to the fingerboard) to the open (ghost) stringwith the same finger to be used on the followi'-'d note.The ghost skip is marked with an "X" on the staff forthe open string that is ghosted. In the followingexamples the left hand fingering for the ghost skip ismarked inside a circle. Right hand fingerings for theghost skip are the sameasfor the skip.This example demonstrates the ghost skip on the samestring as the following note.The 2nd finger of the left hand applies slight pressure tothe 0 string before fingering the E on the same string.

    PULL-OFF SKIPS

    A pull-off skip is a note picked with the left hand only.Oneway to executea pull-off is by picking the sixteenthnote (openstring) after fingering the dotted eighth noteon the same string. After the pull-off, the following note(thesameopenstring) ispickedwith the right hand.

    The puff-oft is most commonly used on the G string butit is also possible on the 0 and A strings. Pull-ofts are notused on the E string because it is difficult to achieve theproper clarity due to the thickness of the string.The l st, 2nd, and 4th fingers of the left hand are used forpull-ofts, but only the tips of the fingers are used on theD and A strings to avoid hitting the adjacent strings.Pull-efts from the 0 and A strings are executed with thesame left and right hand movements as the pull-oft onthe G string.The following pictures demonstrate other positions of theleft hand when pulling-off on the same string.

    SLURRED SKlPSA slur indicates when tones are connected srnoothlvwithout a break. A slurred skip is a skip that is slurredto the following note.

    When the same finger on the left hand is marked overnotes connected by a slur, they are played by pickingthe sixteenth note with the right hand and then slidingthe sixteenth note with the left hand to the followingnote without picking it with the right hand.In this examp e, the 2nd finger of the left hand slidesfrom the Bb tc the Be.
