Over the years I’ve tried hundreds of different exercises to try and change the way I move around the bass neck, but it’s only been in the past few years (of a 20+ year playing career!) that I’ve really made big improvements in getting my fingers to move the way I want them to!
In today’s new video I’m going to show you 3 specific exercises that I practice every time I pick up the bass. Incorporate these 3 things into your own routine and you’ll make massive strides with your bass playing. It’s a really powerful way of tricking your hands into action!
As always, see you in the shed…
Scott :)

I wish that SBL and the internet had existed back in the 80’s. I cannot imagine where my abilities would be now if they had been around back then. SBL is a game changer for bass players, and I hope that today’s aspiring players (and veterans) recognize what this means for the overall artistry. I am not affiliated with SBL in any way, and recently bumped up to a lifetime member as I believe in it that much.

Only 1 issue for me . . I’m a fairly accomplished reader & never bothered to get my head around the dreaded TAB; it’s a bit of a pain that the majority of the transcription is in the ‘other’ format. Never understood why, when there’s already a system of notating music, that there’s a need to re-invent one . .& don’t bother to convert me with . .yeah, but what about the great help with fret positioning & fingering . .cause I’ll just counter with, what about the need to modify the damn thing to eventually document timing . .set in my ways at this point, time-honoured, I’m afraid.

Love the upgraded video techniques with the notations along the neck. Also, Scott, these lessons of essential building blocks are great. Too often a teacher gives us the what ("practice scales") without the why ("because these elements are the building blocks of everything you will play").

@wippi7071 2 жыл бұрын

right? I've honestly slept on these types of exercises a lot forgetting the importance of practicing them since almost everything played in music and bass is based around scales, arpeggios and intervalic sequences.

I feel bad because I'm to cheap to sign up for your online classes, but I've been watching you sense you started your channel. You took me from being a boring run of the mill 8th note punk bassist to one of the best. I'm not trying to boost my skills, but I have people stop in any guitar shop I hit and start to jam and they are amazed and complementing me. I owe it all to you, and thank you for what you're doing for our bass community.

This is the most practical and applicable lesson since completing your fretboard accelerator course. Especially as far visualizing the fretboard as a whole opposed to just a position. I've been playing 40 years and continue to learn. Thanks

@christopherdiaz6176 Жыл бұрын

I’ve been doing the ascending/descending linear line every time I pick up my bass and it has not only helped improve my fretting hand but MASSIVELY improved my right plucking hand. I came from playing guitar and started playing bass about 2-3 months ago and plucking has been my Achilles heel. I feel comfortable already with a pick but I don’t want to be one dimensional when playing. Thank you for these lessons and keep it up!

I used to hate theory when I was in school... I started playing bass last year and I've been working on the SBL players path. Got to level 6 and needed to do more improvised parts and walking bass lines so I started focusing more on theory, working every day on scales, modes and arpeggios. I got a fretless bass too which I find just perfect for working on this stuff and I'm just loving it; I'm totally hooked! Looking forward to adding the intervals to my practice now too.

Thank you, Scott. You've done more for bass players around the world than any recording artist or teacher I can think of. You're the absolute top bass banana. Even with the best will in the world, family, life, job etc have to take precedence over playing bass sometimes, but these suggestions and directions that you continue to selflessly share help me to focus the practise so it really pays off with progression. Thanks man!

Thank you for this segment, Scott. I had recently completed the Functional Theory for Bassist lectures (I have a sub to your site), had worked out the arpeggios for C Major myself and was practicing them ascending the entire way and defending the entire way. This segment showed me more extensive exercises around it's use and was the perfect follow up for me.

Fantastic. When I was gigging for a living my practice routine was to do the routine Scott shows for a major key, followed by a blues in that key, maybe Rhythm Changes in that key, and then in the relative minor, using the Jazz Melodic Minor to get all the cool altered stuff, and a minor blues. That would take 1 to 2 hours depending on how motivated I was. Then I’d work some jazz standards, some Bach, and whatever else I needed to do for upcoming gigs. Can confirm: you follow the advice in this video, and it will pay huge dividends. 👍
