Talking Technique: Walk This Way To Great Bass Technique

Walk right this way to great technique! The chorus of “Walk This Way” by Aerosmith features a cool pentatonic riff with slides that we can build on for cool-sounding variations.

Then, we practice a fill-in-the-guitar solo all across the fretboard.

Buckle up for fretboard fitness, finger acrobatics, and rocking riffs!

I have a folder full of jam tracks and PDFs for you, too!
