  • This may be your favorite bass warmup exercise to add into your practice routine.
    An excellent exercise to run a few times right before playing at home or at a gig.
    This exercise is inspired by Wilton Felder's bassline from the breakdown/bridge section of "I want you back" by the Jackson 5.
    It's a groove that will help warm up the fingers and put us in a musical mindset.
    Technique
    Running minor and major chord arpeggios with a syncopated rhythm in a 4 fret "box" position.
    We will use all 4 fretting fingers and play with alternate fingering on the plucking hand.
    Theory:
    How to arpeggiate both minor and major triads.
    The Progression is a vi iii IV I progression in key of Ab (Fm Cm Db Ab)
    Rhythm:
    Syncopation: The Chords change on the "weak"/"up" beats.
    We will count the pattern as a 2 measure 8th/quarter note pattern, AND as a 1 measure 16th/8th note pattern.
    Play Alongs at half tempo, 3/4 tempo, and full tempo.
    I personally need to improve at full tempo.

      @@DavidConnorsMusic I tried it out this weekend. This is a really great exercise. I found a lot of my weaknesses. I need some serious practice with minor triads. This will be added to my warm-up routine for a while. Once I get it down smoothly, I will make a video. Thanks for this exercise.

      ​@@saltydog_bassThis is one of 3 main ways to play root-b3rd-5th minor triads. (Root inversion).
      1) Root & b3rd on one string, 5th on the next string towards the ground. (Example in this exercise)
      2) Root, b3rd, and 5th across 3 strings, one note per string.
      3) Root on one string, b3rd & 5th on the next string towards the ground.
      You can also play all 3 notes on the same string. Not as efficient as the other 3 patterns, but it can be useful.

      ​@@DavidConnorsMusic​Thanks for that advice. I will try out the different patterns to see which is easiest under my fingers. Thanks again.
