This exercise made me think of the bass line in Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon." The technique that you demonstrated is well-suited to playing this song.
yes. that song based on the cycle of 4ths and the 2-5-1 progression.
As a somewhat better than intermediate level player( my opinion), I'm always up for shift drills. Thanks James !
You're welcome, mate! :-)
As always, great practical and usable advice!
Thanks for the wonderful feedback... Cheers!
Excellent practical technique exercise lesson, Thanks for sharing this James, you ROCK!
Glad you like it! All the best!
I'll try this. I usually play simandl due to old, worn and damaged hands and wrists not to mention an alien short pinky so anything that may help my fretting is welcome. After I commit the notes to muscle memory I put the backing track into Transcribe at 60%. I usually get up to 80-90% quite quickly, but that last hop to 100% is always a struggle. Some days making 80% is all my hands can do. When shifting remember to take your thumb with your hand. This little exercise will be "interesting" for me.
Great share! Glad you find it interesting!
Great topic & demonstration🎶 TY!
My pleasure! :-)
Great stuff! Thank you for the drills!
Glad you like them!
Great as always. In spots such as at 11:25 you show using the 10th fret of the D string but I don't see your fingers going there. Is there an error in the tab or am I missing something?
I’ll look into that. Use the fingering I explain in the video. The notes stay the same…
interesting technique, thank you for share this amazing exercise James
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent exercise, James. Sadly, as ever, despite filling in my email address I never get the free PDF sent to me. I don't what it is but it never works for me. I thought I'd try again after a long hiatus, but the technical problem remains. Never mind, keep up the great work.
Hi David
Please can you contact my team support@ebassguitar.com and ask them to look in to it?
Also, you can get all the free pdfs in side our membership… so it should be easy to hunt down.
Hey James, thanks. What strings are you using for this video?
On this bass I use elixers….
The link to Download the Free PDF is not working.
Not for me either
We’re fixing it!
@@ebassguitar Working now :) Thanks for fixing it.
link for pdf
Should be sorted now!
I am a one finger per fret advocate so I don't really like ring & middle finger going in the same fret but this will be good exercise for many.
This is a one finger per fret exercise with position shifting!
OK. So, what's the problem with the way the bass guitar is built? I note you have a Sadowsky in your hands. I'm sure Roger would like to be let in on the problem and how to re-design the bass.
I explain it all in the video…
