I'm not sure how much variation you'e looking for, but I'm hearing the drummer throw in different accents and fills, especially if you use a double-bar ending to a measure (as contrasted with a double-bar beginning in the next measure) or a repeat ending. That all also varies with the Style you...

And more for beginning to intermediate bassists. These are backing tracks for the examples and exercises in Jim Stinnett's book, "Creating Walking Bass Lines" (1988), which did not come with a CD. [REVISED: 2015-3-9] Jim Stinnett (19)

I'm not a programmer, so I have no idea what's tough to fix and what's easy. iReal Pro is amazing just as it is.

Yeah, and when you cycle three lines of it, it's the 3rd line that doesn't repeat. Pretty important for practice. Happens when you have two or more repeated sections on the same line, too. Whichever is the last repeat section in the Cycled zone doesn't repeat.

I don't get it. I don't seem to have any problem entering text without barlines. I do it a lot. (See below.) Did this just become available with the latest update, maybe? Text below 1 - Unknown Composer Blues Triads: C Major - Example & Exs- 1 - Bob Magnusson, The Art Of Walking Bass (1999)...

Tenorman, you probably don't need these after all this time, but here are a couple of ways to make 64-bar ABAC templates. There are other ways, depending on what you need. [They won't post here, too long. I posted them to the Forum in the Using the Forums / Templates thread, attention to you.]

Great job with that, Bob. Makes me wish I were a singer. That should be a sticky. Jack

Yep, that's the way. And if you have to edit the last line of a 13-line chart after it's completed, you cut one of the intermediate lines, store it somewhere else, go back and edit the last line of the chart, then retrieve the cut line and reinsert it.

Massimo, you guys are great. Thanks for all you put into this.

So, good, Keith88 noticed it, too. I thought I'd mention that I have several 13-line charts that, of course, also have this problem. But I don't really expect that your fix can accomodate them, right? Thanks, Niki. -Jack

Again for beginning to intermediate bassists: Backing tracks for Ed Fuqua's book, "Walking Bassics" (2007), including tracks for examples not on the CD. [REVISED: 2014-11-22: To remove listing of individual charts. Only bassists using this book would be interested in these charts, and they...

More for beginning to intermediate bassists: Additional backing tracks for Todd Coolman's book "The Bottom Line (1990), not on the accompanying CD. [REVISED: 2014-11-22: Todd Coolman (7)

Oh, oh, sorry. I completely misunderstood where you were coming from there. Your concern is fingering, not reading. I think you just learn your instrument and find out what works for you. Across the strings, up the strings, whatever. I've never heard of tabs for double bass, though. There are...

Oh, man! Do yourself a huge favor and forget tabs. Teach yourself to read music, i.e. standard notation. This book IS for jazz double bass players with standard notation throughout. I've seen Bob many times, and i've never seen him play anything but double bass. Jazz musicians use standarrd...

(Honest, I really did search for this and I couldn't find anything, even though I can't be the only user who's noticed this.) When iReal Pro scrolls during playback in LANDSCAPE mode, the scrolling doesn't keep up with the highlighted measure being played when you get near the bottom of a full...

I enjoy trying to stretch the limits of iReal Pro, too. Yours, here, is very interesting!

Thanks, Bobsax. If just one person finds these useful, then it's worthwhile. So thanks, again. Bob's book starts out simply, but if you really do everything, it advances quickly. I met Bob once and thanked him for his book. He pointed out that he did the whole book in quarter notes only, which...

For beginning to intermediate bassists: Backing tracks to Bob Magnusson's book, "The Art of Walking Bass" (1999). Includes new tracks supporting his examples, sequences and modes that are not on his excellent CD. [REVISED: 2014-11-22: Bob Magnusson (34)

Exactly what I do. Works fine for me.
