Very useful concepts!
Additions to basic 5th walk etc.
Great intro to walking bas
Can’t wait for a full course!!!
Game Changer!
Feels like acquiring an exponential "bag of tricks". Caution: get each simple pattern in your hands before combining them with others so you don't confuse yourself. What a difference in the way one sounds with so many options.

lots of fun. some really useful l material. very motivating
Huge fun learning the walking jazz bass lines.
Jonny does it again! What initially seems a complicated and confusing concept made clear, logical and lots of fun. After clearing up an initial confusion over the rootless chords, it was bang on all the way. And, mixing them all up, I feel I’ve got an endless amount of jazz bass lines to walk now. And I’m an ex-pro bass player.
