Master Jazz Bass Lines with the Expert Help of Jazz Midi Files
Jazz bass refers to the use of double bass or bass guitar to compose and perform extemporaneously and solos in a jazz or jazz fusion style. The tenor and sound of the double bass are discrete from that of a usual guitar. The bass guitar creates a different sound than the double bass, since bass guitars typically have a Solid Wood Body, owing to which the sound is generated by electronic amplification of the tremor of the strings. The double bass the tone is of its hollow body. This difference in resonance is quite evident if one listens to double bass on jazz midi files.
The double bass first came to be used in the 1890s to render the low-pitched walking bass lines which sketched out the synchronization of the music. Timbered resonance of the double bass has characterized everything from Swing and big band era, all the way through Bebop and Hard Bop period, to the 1960s ‘free jazz’ movement. In the 1970s, few of the jazz fusion bands started to surrogate the electric bass guitar for the double bass.
Learn Jazz Bass Lines Online
Like the rest of the jazz music, jazz bass is also characteristically spontaneous in nature. Strictly, practice jazz bass lines to become an expert from being a mere lover of jazz. One gets tremendous practice by working with Jazz MIDI files which are easily available online. After all one does not need striking notes to sound good. You need control over the basic notes.
The beginners often want to improvise - they need new concepts and material to make their lines more exciting and trendy. The truth is one should know the basics first. Therefore, I will suggest just practice jazz bass lines along with the jazz midi files. Listening and playing in this manner will also improve one’s musical ear.
One may initially play simple chords rather than 7th chord. The evolution will work with easy triads (3 note chords). For example, instead of playing Fmaj7, just play an F chord.
Once one has mastered a set of pitches, only then will he or she will be able to create or improvise with this material. Shortly one will be able to craft unruffled chord progressions. Furthermore, soon one will sound considerably inspired and original.

How do I tune my hollow Body Jazz Guitar without breaking my strings?
I have an Old Hollow Body Jazz Guitar with a floating bridge. When trying to tune it to E flat, the strings break. Its the right octave because the strings practically fall off the neck when I have it in the octave below.
I think it has something to do with the way my bridge is placed. Any ideas?
Hi, I have a Gretsch with a floating bridge. Are you sure you're at the right pitch? In standard tuning, play the 12th fret on the high E string. If it matches the harmonic at the same fret, you're in correct pitch.
It could be a problem with your gauge. Most hollow bodies with floating bridges should be strung with heavier strings, like .11s or .12s.
