Q: Hey bill! I'm, as a bassits, having trouble to learn how to make walking basslines. Got any tips to help stuff walk?
A: there's 2 things i can recommend, separately. first, just try to let yourself know, whenever you think you hear someone doing it really good. you'll feel yourself instinctively saying "oh yeah.... yes, this feels really good, i'm enjoying this". just make a brief mental note of when you are feeling this. just be aware of that feeling, what it felt like, and what it seemed to sound like. Then, besides that, just spend a lot of time playing along to recordings where walking should happen. try some things, .... and you may notice it may feel a little uncomfortable if what you're doing does not give you the same "oh yeah" feeling that you got before, but, if you keep playing along with those songs, eventually you're gonna find it. you'd have to. it's like a rat finding cheese in a maze
