I’ll never forget jamming with Wynton Marsalis in his New York City home.

I asked him to play the standard “All of You,” which he said he didn’t really know, but let’s try it.

After a short time, he stopped and said “man, I can’t really hear the changes from your walking line.”

I was deeply embarrassed, and vowed to be clearer in my walking bass lines from then on.

You may also feel confused or intimidated by learning how to play a walking bass line, but in 8 weeks you can actually go from your first quarter note to the jam session stage.

Your friends and musical peers will quickly learn to rely on the clarity and support in your accompaniment, and you’ll feel a sense of flow and connection to the music that you love so much.

By building concepts step-by-step, you’ll have a clear path to understanding and improvising your own lines.

You learn:

• Chord Tones
• Approaches Like “Dominant Magnets” and “Target Hugs”
• Higher View Concepts
• Ornaments
• Decision-Making Perspectives

With call-and-response, analysis of the masters, and multiple appendices to reference, your path to the jam session is focused, clear, and enjoyable.
