Questions & AnswersSo now that we have some voicing?s down and we understand some simple walking bass, or techniques, what we're going to do is we're going to walk some more advanced bass lines, and I'm going to go and make some chords in my left hand and maybe solo in my left hand a little, and all of this is really good practice. If you do this in every key you'll have so many chords down. And again it takes sixteen minutes to go through one of these lessons, and then you'll go do it in another key and you'll already have most of the basic information. You just got to really get the scale down, and even then just get the scale down, and then run that information through the same information. It's all the same information, again and again. So don't get discouraged when you see twelve keys, all this stuff. It's really all the same lesson plan, and you're just applying it to twelve simple and easy scales. So we're going to take our E flat minor and we're going to just start getting our jazz chops together, so we got E flat minor, A flat, D flat, our three major chords, again, I'm already really used to comping in these chords, but the more you do this the more you'll get a feel of what to do and what to do, not to do. Like an E flat minor I don't want to ... I want to stick more to these notes on E flat minor, and these notes, and these notes. So you want to try to outline the shell voicing?s even though I keep the root out. Most of the one, three, five and seven are usually in there. Putting crunches in your chords is cool too. So go through and practice and if you want to look up some different scales for D flat major, you can use your D flat major blues, you can use your E flat major blues, you can use your A flat blues, and all these different scales to go over and start soloing as well, and you can put some of those nice textures in your comping if you would like, as well.
