    Exercise 19

    Swinging your quarter note


    Your quarter notes should be long, even and consistent. They should swing on their own, before you add skips
    and fills. Make sure you’ve practiced the open string sound exercises in chapter one.
    To lock in your feel, practice playing your walking bass lines while counting eighth note triplets (Exercise 19.1)
    and also try playing them in 6/4 as the 4 against it (Exercise 19.2). At faster tempos you may wish to subdivide
    (in your head) with swung eighth notes. You should be comfortable with the metronome on 2 and 4, but never
    accent on 2 and 4! Again, the best results come from playing along with records and emulating the masters.
