Walking bass turns your left hand into a groove engine — this jazz piano lesson takes you from the basics to advanced lines. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music teaches walking bass technique while you play melody and chords with your right hand, exploring an original E minor hybrid composition that uses both Dorian and harmonic minor scales. You'll build hand independence, swing feel and chromatic passing tones that connect chord changes smoothly, learning bass lines that can be even catchier than the melody itself. The lesson covers A7, C9 and B7♯9 voicings, ascending and descending bass movement, and when to play with the pulse versus the chord hits without losing the groove. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance 00:18 - Introduction & Walking Bass Preview 🎹 00:40 - What Makes Bass Lines Catchy? 00:56 - E Minor Hybrid Scale Explained 02:12 - Jazz Chords Intro 02:43 - Right Hand Melody Pattern 04:56 - Swing Feel vs Straight Time 08:39 - Left Hand Root Notes Only 09:14 - Left Hand Root Notes Only 09:51 - Adding Pulse vs Hit Points 10:30 - Hand Independence Basics 11:19 - Adding Pulse vs Hit Points 12:35 - More than normal Swing 13:51 - First Walking Bass Pattern 14:58 - Chromatic Approach Notes ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining ============================= 🎓 Learn Music with Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac ➡️ https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) by skill level, topic & genre ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com ============================= 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 +91 77604 56847 (Mobile & WhatsApp) 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #WalkingBass #JazzPiano #HandIndependence
