Thank you to those of you who have read the articles and taken the time to leave you're comments, if you're viewing the article for the first time, take the time to read Parts 1, 2 & 3 of the article and view the written out bass examples.
It is advised to apply the principles of the Blues progressions in each article to the previous keys
Compose and write out your bass lines, develop your own bass line melodies using the triad. This will enable you to develop your own voice as a bassist .
Being able to walk the Blues or any tune for that matter, in the lower register of the instrument using the triad is a great skill to have and not as easy as some may think.
Those of you who have already done it or continue to practice it are aware of the obvious benefits.
Pt 4 Continues on from the previous examples of the triads exercises using new walking bass line devices.
Apply the previous triadic devices from Pt 3. to the Blues in Eb, writing out your own bass line melodies.
The written out exercises of the Blues and modes and arpeggios for Pt.4 can be viewed at
