Articulations in Walking Bass Style
Alright, now let's talk about some articulations with walking bass style.
Pull Off
The first articulation is the pull off. A pull off is when you pull the note with your finger; it could be any finger, index, second, third, or fourth.
- It works best on the G string, although you could do it on the D string too.
How to Execute a Pull Off
The usual way it's done is in a triplet rhythm:
- Play the G.
- Hit it again.
- Pull it off and hit G again.
- Then maybe walk down the scale: One, two, three, four.
Example:
- G, open A, pull it off, hit the G again, then walk down.
Now, continue to practice:
- Keep pulling off and hitting it again.
- Use the D string in between.
You can even hit another note, like a B, and so on.
Muting Technique
Next, there's a muting technique where you play notes on the G string (or another string) and hit a dead note on the string below.
Example of Muting
It would sound something like this.
Other Articulations
There are all kinds of articulations you can explore:
- Dead notes
- Pull offs
- Double pull offs
- Hammer ons
- Pull offs
There's a lot of fancy stuff you can do!
Final Tip:
Just sit down with your instrument and try some different things. You'll come up with some great ideas!
