    You’re in for a fun time this lesson. I’ve got a killer bass workout to show you that’s pretty epic! It’s just as useful for rank beginning bass players as it is for seasoned pros - there’s a version of this exercise that will work for everyone.
    And if you want a seriously monstrous bass workout or even a killer bass warmup, you can go through every different version of the exercise.
    The thing I like most about this bass exercise is that it gets you playing all over your fretboard in different ways as well as helping you work on mastering one of the building blocks of music - the major chord scale.
    Not only that, you can use these exercises to bolster your technique, work on your hand coordination, string-crossing, general hand strength and dexterity - the uses for this bass workout are only limited by your imagination.
    As far as how to practice these bass exercises, it’s up to you. Obviously, if you’re still a beginner, you’re probably not ready for the advanced level of the exercise - and that’s fine!
    Simply start with the first version and work from there. I’d recommend starting nice and slow - ideally using a metronome and making your notes as long and as beautiful as possible.
    Remember to stay relaxed as well! You don’t want tension to cause any physical issues for you.
    If you’re more of an intermediate or advanced player, you can still use the beginner level exercises. In fact, I encourage it! You can use the beginning levels as a bass warmup before sinking your teeth into the more complex versions of the exercise.
    All the same recommendations still apply though; use a metronome, nice long notes, and stay as relaxed as you can.
    If you want to get started with these exercises today, I’ve made it super easy for you. I’ve put the tabs and notation for all the exercises you saw on screen into one handy little PDF and you can download it for free right here:
    becomeabassist.com/killer-bas...
    Just fill out the form underneath the video and it’ll be sent straight to you. You can get started with this epic bass workout today!
    If you have any questions, just put them below in the comments and I’d be happy to help you out!
    Good luck with the exercises and happy playing!
    Cheers,
    Luke

      Nice Video! Excuse me for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you thought about - Riddleagan Skillful Playing Remedy (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a great one of a kind guide for learning complex guitar chords and become a pro minus the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my friend Sam got great success with it.

    Great vid! I've seen other bass channels recommend the same method yet, while I understood what they were saying to do musically, they didn't provide as much visual information in the vid and it was essentially up to you to stop, look up the notes and piece it together while you could practically play along with this one. Makes it much quicker to put into practice and start improving.

    That's a nice workout, I'll add the intermediate and advanced version to my practice routine, starting by going up the major scale and playing the chords from root to seventh, and after that going down the scale and from the seventh to the root. I guess that blends really well with the idea I had to start practicing scales more so that I can play more diversely. I like it!

    To quadruple value I sing every note and play to a metronome.

    This is just what I need to try to get the feeling back into my left (fretting) fingers after my small stroke during surgery in January. They’re numb and kind of clubby & lost, right now, and every time I try to just play songs, I end up just working on a couple of key licks.
    Maybe this exercise will help to get them re-familiar with the fretboard.
    Thank you.

    There's more than beginners and advanced players. There are people like me...... I learned kamikaze mushroom palace as my first song on the bass... and I hear things like evil vibrations by the rebirth and I know right then and there that I need technique. Not beginners tips. Like this video... it's perfect for a guitar player like me that after 20 years of playing, finally learned triads because Noone mentioned them till now to me. Thank u sir. This video is amazing. I'm so lucky to have found u finally.

Look for to seeing some of your other vids.

    and if you are just starting out, play them slow, slow enough that you are not making any mistakes and are playing clean and in time.
    I've been playing Guitar for 40 years, I learned wrong, the mistakes I made in Songs 30 Years ago I still make, and the riffs where my fingers get tangled up are still the same.
    Any mistakes you Learn will stay with you forever.

Great exercises. This is something I could do every day to improve my dexterity and fingerboard knowledge. I am glad to see that your site is growing. I am still practicing on a regular basis daily. Two to four hours daily. averaging nearly three hours daily Monday through Friday while the weekends vary. Blessings and keep up the good work. Howard Alexander

    This is amazing thank you so much. I consider myself intermediate and have been playing for years on and off but never went full on unfortunately (wish I did). But I’m picking it back up now since meeting a buddy who I jam out with. Your lessons are great. Question; so with these chords, you can kind of make up anything using these as a foundation? Like when it comes to fills and bass licks?

    • @BecomeABassist
      @BecomeABassist  4 года назад +2

      Good question @Ricky Raso - all the arpeggios in the exercise come from the chords of the major key, and you can definitely use them as a starting point if you want to play some fills, licks or solos. I'd recommend checking out this video as well if you want to start doing stuff like that: ruclips.net/video/ZXuRaC8ZjxY/видео.html

    • @BecomeABassist
      @BecomeABassist  2 года назад +3

      Good question @Акан Рахметуллин. What I'm playing in this video is all the chords that appear in the key of C major. None of the notes are outside the C major scale. You *could* just play this exercise with 'random' chords as well, but this way, you can also learn how a key is put together, plus it sounds a little more musical.

    Luke, new bassist here and absolutely love your channel! For the uninitiated, are these exercises strictly used for finger speed and dexterity, or does it help to know where all of these patterns are second nature?

    • @franklehouillier8865
      @franklehouillier8865 5 лет назад +12

      It is very valuable to have the entire major scale memorized and all the component triads and 7 chords. I would recommend practicing this while naming the triads and notes as Luke is doing here. A great exercise after that would be to change the order of the chords from C Dm Em F G Am Bdim C to C F Bdim Em Am Dm G C and go in fourths for example and then you are practically walking bass.

    • @BecomeABassist
      @BecomeABassist  5 лет назад +8

      +Durchii - Frank is absolutely right! I mention in the video that the exercise can actually help you understand music better and that's exactly what I was talking about. If you're wondering where all the chords and everything come from, check out my Ultimate Guide To The Modes - it'll clear everything up: becomeabassist.com/ug-modes/
      By the way +Frank LeHouillier - great variation on the exercise. That would be a real killer too. Thanks for sharing - I'll have to try that one out.

    • @christianboutot1316
      @christianboutot1316 5 лет назад +2

      hello,
      the exercices are based on the harmonisation of the C Major scale declined in forms of seven degrees...chords used are the harmonic extension of the C Major scale...it is not told in the vidéo but it is important to undetstand the "meaning" of that and be "conscius " of what you re playing...
      good vidéo nevertheless...
