Learn ALL the Notes on Your 6-String Bass with This EASY Exercise

Подробнее о видео

This Skill Builder is one of my favorite exercises: "All Notes." I’m going to challenge you with the simple request of playing all of the natural notes on your 6-string bass from frets 0-4. I’ll talk about why this exercise is important, what I want you to get out of it, and how you can make changes to fit your own goals and needs. This is a great exercise for breaking out of your normal patterns while learning or reviewing the notes on your fretboard.

🧑 ABOUT ME

My name is Alex, and my passion is teaching music online. I’m a bass player and composer by training and trade, but what I really love to do is teach. I make my living teaching private lessons on Bass, Guitar, Piano, and Ukulele. My favorite thing to teach is theory - helping the students understand the “why” behind the music and empowering them to make better and more informed musical choices. I’m very adamant about teaching technique. This is how you gain power and control over your instrument and ultimately raise the ceiling on where your limits are and where they will be in the future.

I appreciate you participating in learning music with me, either for free through my videos or in private lessons in my virtual studio. Players of all abilities and backgrounds are welcome! There’s no music lesson I don’t love.
