EXAMPLES Many Boogie-woogie Bass lines are walking bass lines: Walking bass often moves in Step wise motion to successive Chord Root s, such as often in Country Music : In this example the last two quarter notes, D and E of the second measure "walk" up from the first quarter note in that measure, C, to the first note of the third measure, F, C and F being the roots of the chords in the first through second and third through fourth measures, respectively. In both cases "walking" refers both to the steady duple rhythm (one step after the other) and to the strong directional motion created (ibid). In the examples above, from C to F and back in the second, and from root to seventh and back in the first. SEE ALSO SOURCE
