Has anyone attempted to tackle this? Starting with a lead sheet with the chords/changes, generate a "classic" walking bass (e.g. "Ray Brown").

The problem I run into is that a beat/bar approach lacks directionality/voice-leading across phrases.

Curious as to whether this is something that your coach/club touches upon, and whether or not it is something that you have worked upon.

Seems especially important in saber where you're both reading what your opponent is doing and also trying to fool your opponent during the precious "open eyes" window in the box...
