Building Jazz Bass Lines - Expl. 40

Pedal: A harmonic "pedal" can be created by staying on one bass note over a series of chords. The most common pedals are on the tonic (root) or the dominant (fifth) of a given key center. They are a great way of building harmonic tension. Listen to this bass line with the chords "over top" of the pedals. It uses both a tonic and a dominant pedal in the key of F.
