How to Play a Bebop Walk on Bass in Eb7

So now we have E flat and we have it down and we numbered it. We got everything down. We're just going to keep walking and we're going to do as many lines as we can coming back to this E flat doing a little Bebop. Then if you want we can get a little crazy and go up to this high E flat right here. We'll see if we can walk up there. It's a good, fun exercise to practice. I didn't really hit it that time, but that's okay. You got to practice. There it is. So you can move all over the bass and play but you really want to focus on coming back to this E flat at first and keep it nice and simple.
