Here is a Jazz track if anybody wants to try out different styles and chord voicing’s.
| F7 | Bb7 | F7 | F7 |
| Bb7 | Bb7 | F7 | F7 |
| Gm7 | C7 | F7 D7 | Gm7 C7|
Time 4/4
BPM: 90

Notes:
The lead chart is from exercise 11 in Ed Friedlands "Building Walking Bass lines" instructional book.
The Drums are a royalty free drum loop
I’m playing the Walking bass line.
Everybody is welcome to do “whatever” talent NOT required at all. Feel free to start a ‘new’ version or add on to somebody else’s. No rules.

Sounds like its time for some jazz!!!Have any ideas for the guitars??

Rigel42 · June 27th, 2009, 01:09 PM

To make this a little more tempting I added some piano. Towards the end it’s still just bass and drums

An F Dorian mode scale works well. F root with 3 flats, Eb, Ab, Bb.

Offshore Angler · June 27th, 2009, 03:40 PM

I'm just not hearing that Ab in my head working with that bass piano.

Rigel42 · June 27th, 2009, 11:13 PM

Well, let it be known I’m a self-taught musical hack and just anything I say could be wrong

. So, by all means use a scale\mode that works.
I do have an Ab in the Bb7 chord voicing (Bb - Ab, C, D, F). I also used an Ab in the D7 part of the bass line.

I like the piano,,,,I`ve been slackin on the music lately,,busy,,busy,,,thought of any guitar stuff for it yet!

Rigel42 · July 3rd, 2009, 10:29 AM

Not a guitar, but I did wipe the dust off my sax this morning and took a turn. It picks the beat up and makes the tune a little less mellow.

Added in a bass sole this morning

bowhunter · July 6th, 2009, 07:07 PM

Hey like the sax,,I have the track loaded on to my software,,Just trying to think of something cool that will fit,,,,

Rigel42 · July 7th, 2009, 08:10 PM

Yea, I tried to put down some guitar tracks and I’m not hearing it ether.

I’m going to take a step back and work on mixing in the bass guitar. Read up on some recording faqs and get that process down. The bass sounds "Crisp and Clear" at my house, but still weak on normal computer speakers.
