Background:
I got to thinking a few months back what might be missing in my bass playing portfolio and I realized that a walking bass line was missing. So I embarked on a little side collab journey and found it wasn’t so "little". This is perhaps the most difficult bass line I’ve ever worked on, because blues really isn’t my favorite genre and a walking line is constant motion. Nonetheless, I’m glad I tackled it. When I’m too old to play anymore it should be satisfying to look back on what I attempted.

I’m not sure I’d call this a “song” per-se, it’s more the result of learning and self-study; a demo exercise if you will. Comments are always welcome.

From a BiaB perspective, this song is why I asked about custom endings in this thread. Post 812776

I never could get BiaB to do this classic blues ending so I did my best on my keyboard and on my bass.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
