Truefire Brad Carlton's Guitar Lab: 100 Walking Blues Bass Line Formulas Vol.4 [TUTORiAL]

Even More Ways to Master Walking Blues: Quarter-Note Groove, Guide-Tone Craft, and Ear Training
Guitar Lab: 100 Walking Blues Bassline Formulas, Vol. 4 pushes your walking-bass playing even further, diving deep into one-bar and two-bar phrases that open up new rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic possibilities. This volume focuses on developing lines that do more than just walk - they outline chords, preview harmonic movement, and add expressive detail inspired by horn phrasing and comping ideas.

Brad Carlton breaks down how fingerings, rhythmic variation, and theoretical awareness work together to create bass lines that sound intentional and musical. You'll learn how to articulate chord extensions, shape forward motion, and make your lines feel connected across the bar line instead of locked into predictable patterns.

By the end of this course, you'll have a stronger command of walking-bass construction, a deeper understanding of harmony, and a collection of formulas you can adapt instantly on the bandstand. So grab your guitar, dig into the groove, and let's play some cool blues bass lines.
