With the chording following the running bass lines, using the I, III, and V (bass) notes up and down the fret board of the chords in the progression as a bass player might do but adding in in inversions from them.. . which, of course, means scampering up and down a fair bit.
Knowing where the inversions and substitutions are (kinda like "CAGED") helps a whole lot.
Here is the great Whit Smith working really hard to explain all this far meter than I can ('cos I'm still strugglng with it)
