For day 1 of your 5 day Bass Walk Challenge you’ll be looking at a bass transition between two chords that takes up, as you may have guessed, two beats. This transition is a classic one that you can put in any situation. In fact, once you know the equation you can create a bass transition to any chord you want to go to as long as you have two beats to get there. Think of this less as playing along with the video and more like understanding how to create a bass transition of your own.

the Bass Walk sounds cool, will have to practice….. I have it at the speed that tony has it on the video
BTW my fingers are calloused now so they don’t hurt anymore -
Let’s keep on Trucking!
-
Always wanted to know this. Thanks.
-
G to C and C to G and D to G was good. win, had some problems going from G to D
-
I had fun with this. I notice that my finding the right string has improved. I’m not looking as often. Plus I stayed with the 60 bpm. Have to work on my speed, in time.
-
very enjoyable good one for the memory book
-
I hope all is well with everyone after this storm! We are lucky here, only 15 inches of snow and bitter cold.
-
Got it at slow speed!
-
I’m calling a win today – first time I’ve played at 1x speed right off the bat. Huzzah.
-
Not doing too bad on this one. My strumming is definitely improving but I still need to work on chord progression.
-
Looks like we are starting a new challenge on the same week as another. I see they unlocked all other meant for this week’s challenge if you hit the back button.
But now see we are starting day one of a new challenge stating today. I guess it is all good, still have access to both challenges just have to double up on practice different techniques this week -
There seem to be some questions regarding today’s challenge. Odd transition from yesterday.
Tried both fingerpicking and flatpicking. -
Had a great time doing this bass run. Happy with my progress. Thanks Tony
-
Spicing up the rythym ! Nice
-
I LUV BASS WALKS. Great lesson as I have been working on these. Thanks Tony.
-
I liked the challenge and it was very doable for me. Anything I can do to make my music sound cooler, I’m all for! I’m curious to see what tomorrow’s challenge will cuz today’s doesn’t seem to tie into yesterday’s challenge.
-
Seemed to deviate quite a bit from the fingerstyle blues lick he said was coming yesterday. Guess we’ll see if it ties in later.
-
Not the right challenge for today. I’ve tried contacting tech support, but just a i response.
-
This doesn’t seem to follow on from yesterday’s theme in my mind? Is something wrong?
-
I have the same question as WAMGOC
-
-
Reflection unrelated to today’s lesson: I have been doing this for a long time. I have received good value for my investments of money and time in the course. However, I don’t think I have seen anything new from Tony for two or three years. It would be good to get something fresh occasionally, or at least to know that Tony is still alive and well. It’s a business, I get it. Cheers to all.
-
Thanks for the insight!
-
-
are we supposed to do bass walk this week or next week?
-
This course is just what I’ve needed, trying to do one everyday.I think chord transitions are the hard ones. My finger picking is getting better,as well as my counting time.hey great program loving it thanks Tony.
-
This is definitely a good exercise for aiming your pick to the right strings. I think it will pay big dividends.
-
What a great feeling to actually get this. Thank you.
-
This was fun. Still not getting it done with good rythm. This will be one I can practice anytime…
Congratulations, !
Challenge complete
Come back tomorrow for your next challenge
