   1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &

Play walking Bass notes G G# A as quarter notes, all other notes are
eighth including chords.  Play Bb Bb with a shuffle feel - giving the
first note 3/4 of the time and the second note 1/4 of the time.  Vary the
chord timing, don't play the same thing twice in a row - but keep the
walking Bass line rigid.  Sometimes I like to drop or add a note to the
chord or skip it altogether - whatever sounds good works.

   1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &

All chords get full value - that is until next chord is sounded.  Vary by
playing the bass then the 2 fourths - short long short long a backward
shuffle in a way.
