Introduction

Greetings and I hope you enjoy checking out how to use walking bass lines for
fingerstyle guitar

The youtube lesson can be found here: https://youtu.be/8gA23eknfpo

Play-Along Download Instructions

In the email I sent, you got links for this PDF and the MP3’s.

Just in case you can’t find that email one day, you can always CLICK HERE to re-
download the play along /practice tracks.

Save the .zip file to your desktop, and double click it to expand the file. After doing
that, you should see a folder with the PDF and mp3’s in it.

You’ll find the following files to play along with:

• walk-bass-example.mp3 - for listening - I play the bass line on guitar as a

reference
• walk-bass-play-along.mp3 - only piano & drum, extra long so you can practice
the bass line

By playing along with the practice track you “wire” your ears, hands, body and soul
together - so use them!

Mere intellectual learning is not enough!

Groove on & enjoy!
