Lobematt, Great tune , Coltrane actually plays it, in C# min the sound is much darker. " Your Standard Chords are... C-7|%|%|%| F-7|%|C-7|%| Ab7|G9|C-7|%| What I've changed it too isn't massively different... C-7|%|%|C-7 F7| F-7|F-7 Bb7|BbM|C-7 F7| Eb-7 Ab7|D-7 G9|C-7|C-7 F7 " |C-7 F7| is a II V to Bbmaj not Fmin7 F-7 Bb7 is a II V to Ebmaj My response you might want to check this out also try changing the Min7 chords to Min6 Cmin7/ Cmin7/Cmin7/ // Calt Fmin7/Fmin7/ Cmin7/ // Cmin7/Bb Ab7#11/ G7alt/ Cmin7 / Dmin7b5 Galt The minor II V in C min is Dmin7b5 G7b9 The Ab7 #11 is essentially a substitution for the Dmin7b5. If you wrote out the 2 scales you would see the similarities. To really get the feeling of the minor blues hang on the regular changes , e.g. the b VI 7 going down a half step to the V7 chord e.g. in Cmin Ab7#11 G7b9 and play solid foundational lines with good time, all the cats will want to play with you. Check out Jimmy Garrison or Wilbur Ware playing on a minor tune. you might also want to check out some of the examples shown here from the Constructing walking jazz bass lines series by steven mooney. http://constructingwalkingjazzbasslines.com/jazz-bass-books/the-blues-in-12-keys/ He shows examples of chord substitutions on the blues , rhythm changes and standards and bebop .

[quote name='jazz bass 2010' post='1270079' date='Jun 15 2011, 08:39 AM']Rob, thanks for sharing your thoughts on the books. As you delve into the material you will find that there are a lot of " questions " answered along the way. As you mentioned the books are great for working on your reading chops , and also excellent studies for working on the lower register positions. eg the fundamental bass register. Take advantage of the lesson videos on my website, most if not all of the complex walking bass rhythms covered in the books are shown in the free videos , with links to more on you tube. ( all videos are at a slow to medium tempo design as instructional material )[/quote] Thanks again to Rob for taking his time to share his opinion.

[quote name='Rob MacKillop' post='1238951' date='May 21 2011, 02:53 AM']I just bought these three books - Standard Lines, Blues and Rhythm Changes. If nothing else, they are brilliant for improving your sight reading, taking you through all 12 keys. But they are more than that, and I'm looking forward to getting more familiar with them. Thanks to Steven Mooney for writing them. I've only had them a week, but feel my walking lines have more structure and direction already. No sound files, though, or backing tracks, just notes, notes, notes, mastery of which will make you very popular on the jazz circuit. Not for the lazy student...[/quote] Rob, thanks for sharing your thoughts on the books. As you delve into the material you will find that there are a lot of " questions " answered along the way.
