LESSON DESCRIPTION:
Say you want to play jazz guitar walking bass lines plus chords at the same time.
And say the tune you're playing has just one chord for sixteen measures.
Or eight measures. Or four. Or even two.
How do you keep the walking bass line moving over a single chord?
And how do you find correct jazz chord voicings to play on top?
This second lesson of my 4-part series on how to play jazz guitar walking bass lines plus chords at the same time covers how to tackle single chord vamps in jazz progressions.
I love this stuff!

Thanks - as an acoustic player but not in jazz, your method of teaching is appreciated to us novices/ intermediate level players.
That's great to hear, thanks so much! :)
Every lesson pulls knowledge from previous lessons and enhances it. That detail about being able to play a rootless version of the chord a third above and have it sound like the previous chord links both a lesson from way earlier in the chord series (the degrees) to one near the end (rootless voicings). I'm stlill a bit confused on how the diminished vhords work, I assume it's playing the leading diminished chord beneath each note of the scale (like before the ii chord it's ii/vii*, before the iii chord is a iii/vii* chord)
I was always searching 'walking bass over static chords' and never found much but with perseverance found this 'single chord vamps' video. its exactly what i was after. Thanks so much. I'm also interested in adding passing chord stabs on beats 2 and 4 where you play a single bass note. Cheers
Right on! Glad to help! Thanks ~~ Jared
I don't like jazz to be honest !
But I played that stuff, it's super relaxing to play.
Thanks!
Nice! I find it very relaxing as well :)
Theory theory theory! Love it! I’ve just started jazz guitar (another notch in my belt). Thank you Jared.
A theory nerd says what? What?😅
Nice!! Welcome to jazz :) Thanks for watching!
You are fabulous
YOU ARE :)
Thanks Jared , another great lesson and stretches me out a wee bit further 😄
Great to hear!
Really well done Jared. I guess I'm coming along because I understood what you were going to do, in terms of the chord-stabs, walking up to the third. That is, without having intentionally built the chord off of the third or used a chord inversion myself while playing around with a walking bass line.
So I had my a-ha moment
Yay, I love to hear about those aha moments! Thanks for sharing :)
14:45 I believe that D9 chord diagram pertains to the 9th fret instead of the 8th
Btw, LOVE THIS SERIES!
Wow, you're right! My mistake. Good catch! And thanks for pointing that out. No one else has mentioned noticing that yet. :) Glad you're liking the series, Nate! Thanks for watching
Seriously love your videos. I have a question though on inversions. I'm wanting to exercise different inversion shapes. I see some videos with some inversions but is there a way you can point me in a direction if you have a video on it or make a video sometime about inversions and maybe like inversion exercises? I want to play chords everywhere on the neck but I'm limited to root positions most of the time.
Thanks.
Very nice. Any particular reason you didn't include walking down to the relative vi chord vs. only up to the relative iii chord? Seems like the natural "next step".
Good question! I do that when passing through to get to another chord, but not so much when just trying to tread water on a chord vamp like in this video. That's because the 6 isn't as strong of a chord tone as 3 is and it ends up sounding more like actually going to the vi chord instead of an inversion. It's totally fine to do that though and still sounds good. I use the 6-in-the-bass like that in the next video where it's a full arrangement of walking bass with chords through fly me to the moon. Hope that answers the question okay! -Jared
What are a few good standards for the beginner jazz player to do walking bass line like this?
Man, the only thing I’m still kinda in the dark about is the diminished and dominant flat nine. I’ve spent a handful of hours switching from flat nine to sharp nine with one chord, flat nine is awkward and I sucked at it. I always find out something new about the relationship between dominant and diminished. For example, I recently I discovered you can use diminished 7 arpeggios over the appropriate dominant. Diminished chords are shady characters, if they were people I wouldn’t trust them. It’s just a matter of time before I grasp and understand their relationship with dominant.
haha, yeah diminished chords are so shady! :) It is amazing how connected they are with dominant 7 chords. One way to think of the bridge between them is like this: If you take any dominant 7th chord and raise the root up a half step then it's a diminished 7th chord. And if you take any diminished 7 chord and lower ANY of the four notes in it by a half step then it becomes a different dominant 7th chord each time. So one single diminished 7th chord is only one-note being one half step away from FOUR different dominant 7th chords. Also you can think of there being a diminished 7th chord "off of" the b9, 3, 5, and b7 of any dominant 7th chord. Hope that helps a little! Sounds like you're on the right track to unlocking those connections. Definiltey just a matter of time like you said! :) -Jared
@@soundguitar I’m writing this down haha, thank you so much.
@@markgoodwin5306 Nice!! You're very welcome :)
Great lesson man. I enjoy checking out how you teach these concepts and how you approach them differently than I do. I’m just curious, what kind of microphone do you use? I can’t ever get my voice to sound good in a video while playing simultaneously so I usually avoid playing and talking at the same time so I can cut out my vocal mic and just hear the guitar mic. Cheers!
Hey Adam! I'm using an SM81 pointing to my mouth just above where the cam can see it. It picks up the whole room, but then I also mic the guitar amp with an SM57, and mix them together.
@@soundguitar Thanks man! It sounds really good, and also I really love all the upgrades you've been doing to the graphics and so on! Really cool to see your channel growing!
@@Jamsville Thanks so much Adam! likewise!
Hey, I love the lesson. you kind a lost me on the Dom7(b9) but I understand the dim7. So, will definetly go back and figure it out. Your videos are great. I just got a new Jazzmaster guitar. I know they didn't really catch on for jazz but I'm going to play this stuff on my new jazzmaster guitar anyway. The 2 things I feel you could do to make these video's more digestible is to shorten them or break them into a number of bite size videos in a series. This video could have been a series in it self. Like the dom7b9 and dim7 part should be it's very own video. Then you could spend more time explaining and demonstrating the theory and how we can apply it. That's not a complaint but good critique. And one more thing that could help is more on screen tabs. I had to slow down the video a number of times and rewind to figure out which fret the approach notes were on. If there was an on screen tab it would make it would make it much more enjoyable. Please keep making awesome videos like this I'm learning a lot. I would like to see some more examples of taking songs from the fake book and show us how to play over it and more ideas we could use for that. Maybe show us how we can make our own jazz jam tracks. Show us how and what we could do to make all the different parts that stack up to make good jazz songs. Thanks,
Thanks so much for the feedback! I really appreciate it. I totally hear you on splitting this one up - I should have done that. I will definiltey be trying to split big topics into smaller segments in the future. I find it hard to do for some reason, but I'll keep trying and reaching for doing the best job I can. I agree on the tabs too and will try to provide them as much as I can. also... ooh, I love the jazzmaster guitars! I hope you're enjoying it :) -Jared
