- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- In this video, we learn a few chromatic transitions that can be applied to a blues progression. This is a great way to add interest and improvisation to your blues bass line!
While this video features a walking bass line, you can apply the same patterns to blues shuffles, country blues, rumbas, you name it! Get these transitions under your fingers and try applying them to other feels and keys.

![Learn SEVEN 12 Bar Blues Bass Patterns [SUPER USEFUL]](/img/n.gif)
Not only a great musician but a great teacher on how she explains the chromatic walkups into the higher and lower octave and when to use them ! Like Ryan says...Practice those moves over and over again and you will sound like a seasoned blues player like she does. Great stuff Ryan...THANK YOU !!!
Love how you simplistically you teach.I'm a fan.
Ryan, absolutely love your teaching style!! Great job. I watch a lot of instructional videos yours are the best.. I am 74 years old don’t really play out anymore but love the instrument and always looking to learn. Thank you.
A most excellent lesson 👍👍👍👍👍
I love playing chromatics. They are one of the main identities to my style of playing in any genre. Super groovy lesson.
This took a bit of work but I now see what you’re doing-great lesson.
Great content and delivery! The way you articulate and illustrate the concept is very useful to me. Thanks!
Hey Ryan, I just discovered your channel. I'm really enjoying the videos. Like someone else said I can see which frets you are playing and you explain everything so well.
I like this version the best.
Love that p-bass tone.
Excellent tutorial on voice leading in walking bass. Thank you!
Great jazz sound
Cool 🙂 Thanks!
You're the perfect Bass teacher, you explain and play everything so well! I've just Subscribed to you fabulous Channel. Thanks!
Wow, thanks!
lovely left hand technique!
Thank you!
We need to get you more subs. Loved that root -6th at the end.
I liked that also, I play root, 3rd, 5th above/5th below, octave a lot, but i never get around to the 6th...
I'm very impressed with this video. I have been looking for something like this for quite some time. I like how you tie it in with the standard blues pattern everybody uses. Thanks to this video, I can take my playing to the next level. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
This was so helpful, and you're an exceptional bass player. tysm
Wow. Best explanation I’ve heard. Thx
Glad it was helpful!
Nice Ryan ... Keepin’ the blues groovy 😎Hope all is well your way ! Best wishes from LA.
I found you from watching Guthrie Trapps "Blackwater", where you were sitting in the pocket and not getting out of there :D I was absolutely amazed, am a viewer since, keep the cool stuff coming!
Thank you Ryan, very easy to learn (because it's well explained) and useful
Glad it was helpful!
Great lesson!

Excellent video instruction on blues chromatics. I subscribed for more videos. Thanks for your excellent presentation.
Thanks so much, Gary!
You’re awesome, thank you for sharing your knowledge
This is really helpful. Thank you. Love your approach 🎸🎼👍
good explanation....thanks.
Excellent lesson - thank you - subscribed
Great presentation, and your love for the bass is much more than infectious. TY Liked & subscribed. (I'll be bach)
awesome!
Ryan, one of the things I like about watching your instructions (especially when you are using the O.F.O.F method) is that I can actually see what note you are fretting clearly!
Some instructors like Stu Hamm and Brad Carlton (that I also like) can be very subtle when fretting and unless they are telling you the note when they are playing it is hard to tell.
Thanks!
Thank you! I'm glad this method of instruction is helpful and that you're able to clearly see what is happening on the fretboard!
@@RyanMadoraMusic If you are ever short on ideas for a new course, there is a shortage of material on "2 hand tapping" and "Bass Arrangements" for well known songs (and anything to do with the Baritone Guitar, if you play that).
It's nice to hear a real Bassist, as opposed to a guitarist attempting to play bass. Very few guitarists can play with the Bassist,s emphasis and feel. The notes are correct but played the wrong way by guitarists in general. This is real bass playing here.
Awesome lesson! Took me about an hour to go through and write the notation (very badly) but that helps to keep it straight, so I can come back to it and work it out at my own pace. Very well-explained as well. I did notice an alternating pattern of one bar of 1-3-5-6- pattern and then a bar of walk-up. Is this by design of just fluke?
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge - you have a new subscriber!
Glad you enjoyed the lesson! There a lot of different ways to approach playing a blues and integrating these patterns, so be prepared to learn these variations and be flexible with using a combination of patterns + transitions (such as walk-ups) when it feels right to do so. Usually, you'll play the transition the bar before you land on the downbeat of the next chord in the progression.
Walking the blues is the starting point for walking anything else.
Beautiful combination of 12 bar blues, chromatics and walking bass feel. Thanks a lot for sharing!
Beautifully taught.
Thanks so much, Bob!
@@RyanMadoraMusic My pleasure. Well deserved.
Muy buena lección
Hi Ryan, I love your lessons and have subscribed , also have joined the Truefire club but can't find. the tabs department. Help.
Hi Michael, if you join my channel, 'Bass Cafe,' go to this video. A good portion of the video content is free, but if you subscribe at any level, you'll get the TABs--they'll appear under each video lesson.
@@RyanMadoraMusic Brilliant, I've got it and thank you so much. I'm glad I found you.
someone should know...what is the significance of "the bitter brew your drinking", in this song.? this a historical American song.
