Playing freely up and down the fingerboard and been able to visualise your available notes within any given key can be a real challenge - especially for bass players, as a lot of the time we're playing the money notes in the lower register of the instrument, i.e. the notes we get payed to play! ;) This means that when we venture up into the higher register of the fingerboard, things can get scary - fast!
In this lesson I'm going to show you a great way to start visualising your scales upon the fingerboard - in a way that organises everything into 3 easy to learn patterns, and once learned can be linked up into multiple combinations to achieve total freedom when playing over the entire fingerboard.
As always, see you in the shed...
Scott :)

I'm a guitar player who`s starting to play bass and I just have one thing to say: Best online teacher EVER!
Cheers, dude!
This is one of the most important lessons of them all. Showing how to use the whole fretboard for a scale. Once I realized that it opened up the instrument. Now I am all over the place.
YOU are seriously a god send to sooo many bass players... There really are very few people in the world that have a true understanding of the instrument itself and more importantly (for us) the ability to genuinley TEACH us what you know! thanks!
Hi Scott, love your channel, I've been playing bass for over 25 years. I've been watching your channel for the past few days, as I can say it never hurts for anybody that has been playing as long as I have to go back to basics and review what you are doing as such as I am. Sometimes in life we forget the basics in life and your teachings are fabulous. Keep it up!
I wish I have you as my teacher from the beginning of my bass playing, I have to start from the scratch. I love you Scott Devine
You have enabled expressivity, shall I say, in me and other bassplayers!! Thank You.
I've not been watching you for like a half of a year, and I watched this video today. I've to say that your improvisation becomes MUCH better!
Awesome Miroslav! Groove on! :)
Hey Scott, Just a line to let you know how much your lessons have helped me. About a year and a half ago I had a stroke. As I recovered I discovered that some forty five years of bass playing was somewhat hindered. I needed a way to recall/relearn what I'd lost. I had a fellow bassist point out your site and BANG!...It's all coming back...not just the theory but how to approach scales and modes...Wow! I'm finally back on track and almost ready to get out and perform. I will be better than I was technically speaking. What a great lift. I've adviced dozens of my friends and they're all in. Thank you man. You're the best bass teacher ever.
Best lesson ever! Easy to understand and the most critical technique that all bassists should master. Thanks!
Cheers Romeo! :)
Heads up peeps... brand new bass lesson alert!

Nice one there man!
Great Scott. I wish someone could have explained this to me back in the 70's when I first started playing the bass. Just trying to get back into it after a 35 year break. :)
keep it up :)
Great class !
Not only the content, but the nice clear way you teach it.
A great way to simplify going up and down the scale !
Greetings from Brazil !
Great lesson on the Cmaj Scale and how to know it up and down the finger board.
I always spread the word to all of my Bass player friends. Thank you.
Cheers John! :)
You are by far the greatest/easiest to understand bass teacher ever. Thank you for all your videos.
As always Scott, you teach a bomb lesson, never really thought about expanding my scales in this way, but now I see clearly, options exist, so one isn't just stuck doing a one dimensional thing, nice shifting and great way of teaching it..:)
This was absolutely the best lesson I've ever watched. It was a breakthrough lesson for me. Now...off to practice.
Thanks Scott. Intermediate third year player here. Been watching you for a long time and you are the master at using the entire fretboard. Thanks for this great lesson in allowing me to open up a little bit and get higher than the 5th fret!! This is one of your greatest lessons. Very well put together and I can tell you are enjoying yourself. We all thank you for that love!!
You're a legend Scott! Thanks for the lessons!
Hey Scott that intro Major Progression C Mg to G sharp Mg would be an excellent lesson
Oh, man, this is going to unlock my playing style like nobody's business. Thanks so much! :D
Piece a cake! :)
You're a fantastic teacher.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH SCOTT..YOU TOOK ME TO THE NEXT LEVEL...WOW...ITS A VERY SIMPLE TECHNIC ANT MY TEACHER DIDN'T TOLD OR MENTION THAT TECHNIC . . FROM PUERTO RICO...THANKS !
I'm trying not to watch your tutorial but honestly once I'm on it I'm hooked till late night. That what had happened to me since 2012. Keep it up. Keep on grooving. Thank you so much.
excellent Scott..Ive learned so much watching you thanks for sharing your knowledge...I have been playing 4 yrs now funny thing when I play the scales any I hear do ra me fa so la te do....anyone else remember sound of music..lol
Incredibly powerful lesson. Thanks Scott. You've taken my playing further than I thought imaginable. For real, not hyperbole.
Brilliant stuff Scot . I don't have big hands and this is helpful even after 30 years of playing. Thanks for posting.
scott!! much respects for what you do,,, I cannot express how much it helps,, these lessons you share,, They are all foundations to where you can create your own style,,and create original pieces,,your a great professor of your craft,,,,cheers!
I’ve just started playing bass about 3 weeks ago. I feel so blessed that I found you (also a friend of mine who is a pro suggested you) so I can learn from you initially. I feel like I’m learning so much and progressing well due to your great teaching. I joined SBL and can’t wait to see where I will be in a few months. This lesson is 😮🔥. I can’t wait to get to my bass tonight and work on this!!! THANK YOU!!!
Scott I'm a fan and have watched many of your videos. This video in particular has changed everything for me in my bass playing, I did musically theory on a course and have researched how major scales relate to the fretboard as up to this point I was stuck in the one spot clueless and hopeless, I just couldn't figure it out. But you have just explained this all so easily and I know what I'm doing now. You sir are the chief! I can't thank you enough, keep up the good work :)
Most important lesson for me!! Love it! :) thanks a bunch! Please do something like this for the minor scales!!
I love that Overwater bass!
This is life changing. Thank you Scott. :-)
i dont really know how i can thank you for giving me all these tips!you just made me a different bass player!Much love to you buddy you are the best,keep it up and continue making people loving this instument
awsome! Just realized I was wating for this lesson for years.
Lol... I'm glad I filmed it for you then! Thanks for watching man :)
Very good Dude! Fantastic Lesson. Hello from Brazil!
got no bass yet but every time I watch your tutorial it makes me excited to get one :)
I actually apply your ideas in my acoustic guitar ....
Thanks Scott!
Got no regrets in subscribing you man!
Keep it up!
Jez from Philippines!
Best Scott video I've seen so far. Like someone else who commented. It's a breakthrough for me as well. Thanks man. Now on with this through the cycle of 4ths.
thank you that was EXATCTLY what I needed!
This was absolutely awesome. Thank you for the key
Sweet lesson!!! Thanks Scott!!
Such a helpful video! You're the best Scott! Thanks!
really great lesson Scott!
awesome lesson Scott. Thank u!
Scott I’ve noticed that you more often than not play on a 4 string (which I feel is a better visual learning experience) , my question is “ do you do this for desire or for your students to learn easier “? Anyways as a full time musician in my opinion you’re the “GOAT “ in internet bass lessons!!!
Amazing lesson
It's Really Really POWERFUL lesson!!!
Thank you so much
teacher!!
Great Scott !!! Scott is Awesome
Scott,s you just the best friend ever
yu are awesome scott, rily enjoy ur lessons.
very thank you, simple,but very important lesson
Great lesson thank you!
awesome lesson
That was good, Scott. Off to practice i go now.
Men, i am looking for a long time for a tutorial like this, so I can learn the fretboard. Much thanks...
#badass. Thank you so much for the tips. One note on the D10 is that the scale on goes dow to the 5th. Probably a cool shifting technique in another video to make this should good.
On the issue of legato/staccato playing of scales, I'd say, (as I've gone back to basics) if you have the time, practice both especially for improvisation purposes, along with loud/soft. Freakin great lesson, as always. You d'man, bro!
hahabass o
I have bought quite a few books hoping to find the information explained in this video. I guess I've been buying the wrong books. Great lesson, again.
Thanks for your usefull lessons!
My pleasure Vladimir! :)
great lesson
awesome lesson its a beast
I LOVE YOU, MAN!!
Great video tutorial mate!
Cheers Alessandro! :)
THANK YOU!
Hello Scott, I would love all your videos to be subtitled, since I speak Spanish and I still have trouble understanding without reading. :)
Postdarta: I think that if you subtitled in Spanish you would open to a big market.
regards!
Muito bom! Parabéns pela didática utilizada em seus videos.
Thank you so much!!!!
What a nice chap
Hey Scott, your “wave” technique is super relatable for everything with a finger/fret board, kudos on that practice technique. Im coming from the upright world, and have been taught to utilize open strings from everywhere on the fret board. Do you avoid them out of pattern simplicity?
great tutorial video (y)
Another fine tutorial
Thanks for sharing
Thank you Thank you
Cheers Grampz! :)
You are the Professor X of bass!

Hi Scott,
your lessons helped me so much! I've learned the Cmaj scale and arpeggios perfectly from every position on the neck. But when I improvise to your static Cmaj7 backing track,it just sound like playing the scale/arpeggios up and down. It would really help me if u could make more tutorials on licks! Thanks for everything! Cheers :-)
Hi Scott, I've been checking out your vids and thanks for all your detailed tutorials!
Could you tell me the name of the song in the intro portion of the video?
Thanks!
Hey Scott, thank you very much!! It has been very useful tutorial for me!! But don't you think that the second pattern could be done easier with open strings??
cheers for sharing!!
This is really one of the most useful tricks I have ever seen, thanks man!
Also, a little suggestion: maybe you could give a short summary of the key concepts at the beginning of your lessons? -because your videos can become quite lengthy sometimes :)
Great idea! Thanks for watching :)
Oh My God, Scott. am really in love with your bass tutor. But the big problem here is that am still a kindergarten in bass. Most of the things you are saying, are jumping over my hair. Once again, I like your bass skill and I enjoy watching you play.
cool stuff
excellent
Bonjour Scotts, je suis tes cours très souvent sur UA-cam , c'est très interagissant ce que tu expliques ,et je te félicite et t'encourage, n'est pas possible de faire un translate en français pour les francophone
cool stuff...
Awesome Scott! As ever thanks very much man.
Quick question, how would you suggest going about learning this in all keys?
Maybe running it through the circle of fifths or fourths?
Yeah - circle of 5ths would be great! :)
yeah Jake - the circle of 5ths would be great for this!
I would some help to decide what bass to buy if I want to play Salsa, jazz, or Latin Jazz?
Please help!
Excelente!
Cheers Nelson! :)
Hi Scott, Have you seen the the 'Improvise for real' ideas by David Reed? If not, check it out. The idea is this: 1 - 2 - 34 - 5 - 6 - 71. The major scale embedded in the chromatic scale ( - = chromatic note). Anyway, this visual/aural tool moves away from the finger patterns big time. Every time you play a not you should be able to visualise/auralise where you are on the map relative to the chord/melody you are playing over (including if you start on an 'out' note). In some ways complimentary and in some ways divergent from what you bring to the table here. Cheers JR
Hey Jonathan - thanks for the tip man, i'll defo check that stuff out! Groove on man :)
Actually, when you play an out note you will no idea where it sits relative to the major scale - only when you hit a scale tone/chord tone!
Could anoyone tell me if these positions work with G major? I've been trying to fit them in but i can't quite wrap my head around it.
Does this backing track link not work anymore or is it just on my end?
Do you have a video of ultra low pitches?
It's probably a personal thing, but I've never had any problems with *not* moving my wrist withinin one position and stretching my fingers.
How do I download the musical instrumentals sir cos I can't get it
What kind of bass is that? It just looks and sounds amazing!
Oh yeah!! I'm spreading the love... :-)
Lol, thanks Joe! :)
OMG! master.
The link for the free bass lessons doesn't work dude. :)
Hey Scott. I'm digging your lessons. I always find something useful in them. However, I'm not wild about your second pattern. There's a whole lot of shifting going on which makes it hard to get a really clean note, even at the relatively slow tempo you're playing it here. It's also not a particularly efficient fingering, i.e. you play one note (C) then a small shift, play 2 notes (D, E) then make a really big jump back down to play one note (F) before another small shift. I think that there are more efficient ways of playing the scale so there's less shifting, i.e. you get more notes under your fingers per shift, if that makes sense...
I see the value in the method your teaching and especially in being able to play a multiple octave scale in multiple fingerings. I would just need to tweak a little to feel better for me. :-)
Anyhow, keep up the great lessons! Your videos are a great supplement to my regular lessons with my teacher here in Cali!
could you create a similar video except for minor scales
Great!!!!!!! :) Another my problem - just cant memorize scales. I mean that I can play them (M, m, dorian, lydian and others) from a note, but i don't "see" all the scale on the fingerboard :(((((
P.S. Ah, I've got a confusion :)))) When you were saying "C" (which is "Do", the note, you know) I was thinking about "Si" (which is "B") and I couldn't understand why you are playing the Do-major scale, and talkink about "Si-major" :)
whats up with the glove ?
basss guru
Lol, cheers dude :)
Intro song?
