Have you always thought that "Giant Step" by the great Coltrane was too difficult a song to accompany ?! Right! it is a difficult piece ... but it can also be accompanied in a simple way. In this Practice Along, we will only use the first 4 frets + open strings, and the chord tones. It is divided into 2 parts ... the first part "listen & repeat" and the second part will be the walking bass all in a row. We will do 2 Choruses and, the second Chorus, will have "the inversion of the notes", let me explain: if the first bar has B-D # Re-F #, we will invert the notes on each chord, so it will be D # - B and F # -D ... in this very simple way, we get a second bass line, without effort 😉

Whoa!! My jazz bass brain just exploded! That one lesson helped me understand how jazz bassists move around the chords! OMG!!! Thank you so much!

[@dragolov]

This Giant Steps bass lesson is unique! Deep respect, Federico Malaman! Be happy!

[@FedericoMalamanBass]

Thanks a lot!

[@SimulacronX]

Genius! Thanks so much for helping is so efficiently, egregio maestro🙏

[@alexanderrawlinson8864]

This exercise is good on so many levels:
1) reading: I am a poor reader (like a lot of bass players!) so I just focus on reading the notes aloud while playing. The “repeat the line” as well as the speed increments makes his an amazing exercise
2) Use of open strings: as an electric bass player I hardly ever use open strings, this is a great way to start using them to minimise hand movement, an other string to my bow!
3) Harmonic knowledge: I do the exercise saying the first note of the chord (while playing) then I say the scale number of the note relative to the root of that chord. This gives me a strong sense of the harmony while learning the chord structure and understanding how this bass line goes from one chord to the other. This is also great for fretboard knowledge since there are a few inversions
4) And of course, learning to memorise and play this particularly difficult standard
Thank you Frederico!

grande walking , se chiudi gli occhi sembrerebbe che viaggi per la tastiera e invece sei sempre sui primi 4 tasti mi viene in mente Jeff Berlin che dice che deve ancora esplorare solo il 4 corde passivo perche' c'e' ancora tanto di inesplorato.......ovviamente mi riferisco al fatto che sembra incredibile quanto si possa fare solo con 4 tasti ...figurati se ci aggiungi anche gli altri.....

[@FedericoMalamanBass]

Esatto! Jeff Berlin e Massimo Moriconi, sono dei Guru in questo :-)

[@alexanderrawlinson8864]

And just one more thing to add to my previous comment below, read the notes if you want to learn properly! not the tabs :-) i have played in many bands where I get a chart, never ever ever have I been given tabs

[@FedericoMalamanBass]

Thanks
