Walking Bass

[crilee]

Hi there Willie,

love your videos at your new site. They are goldmines!! You asked us to share our ideas for new lessons. Here is one: traditionell gospels with WALKING BASS. Songs like: Go and tell it on the mountains, Joshua fought the battle of Jerico etc, e.g songs with a strong 2&4 feeling which suites perfect with a walking bassline.

What about that?:confused:

I agree with crilee. I would like to see more traditional gospel songs. I suggest songs like: Down by the riverside, Swing Low, Soon And Very Soon

Will do, I'm on vacation next week but I'll work on these when I return.

I was already thinking Swing Low, Soon And Very Soon.

I also really like There is a Balm in Gilead and Were You There.

Soon and Very Soon by Andrea Crouch is an easy one!!! (At least it is one of the very first ones that I ever learned to play along with, "Jesus is the Answer".

This song has a REALLY STRONG bass line and y'all should be able to pick it up mostly by ear (Jesus Is Real by John P Kee):
