Thank you for all your free tutorials im like stupid broke they've fantastic and informative. Your more about the music than money and that's kool by the pool. Cheers.
Thank you Scott, this is another great exercise which I'll be working on. I've never really practiced scales on one string much, but I can see how it links up the entire fretboard now. I'll be expanding this exercise to include the major scale on every string in every position up the fretboard!
I think these are really good exercise techniques, and I think I will work on them right now!! Thanks for good advices every time Scott, I really enjoy your videos
Great lesson Scott! I find that shifting is often overlooked on bass guitar, while it is a focus point on many string instruments, for example good ol' double bass. good stuff Plus I had to transcribe that last lick cause it's just too cool
Absolutely agree about saying the alphabet backwards. Supposedly frequently used for sobriety testing, but I don't see how. I would fail stone sober every time.
The only context in which it would be used in a sobriety test is to attempt to trick the suspect into saying "but I couldn't even do that if I was sober," but the tendency to say that even when you ARE sober surely means that countless lawyers have long since demolished the validity of such a statement in court.
Scott bass lesson can you give me a quick tip about people who doesn't use their pinky finger alot, I have alot of trouble using my pinky to play, I only use the three fingers between my thumb and pinky, I want to learn to use my pink for this excercise
You can say the alphabet backwards relatively easily by adapting your visualization lesson. For playing bass, you look at the next position while playing the current note(s). For the alphabet, as you say "Z", think "Y". As you say "Y", think "X". Do I get bonus bonus points?
Wow Scott, finally got time to watch a bass lesson on the day it's published!! Will be a nice little warm up exercise at this weekend's gigs! Hi to the family. Cheers as always x
@@Spooky.Boogie.xj0461 Some people today on TH-cam have cameras with low quality. I meant it in a sense that he had invested a lot into his production value early on into his TH-cam career. But thanks for pointing that out I had no idea lol.
I would actually like a tutorial on "feeling" or "sensing" the distance to move. Scott is a big proponent of "looking" at the fingerboard and "seeing" his patterns and shifts. Why be mentally tied (distracted) with that when you should be moving up and down based on pitch changes or when the chord progression demands? For example - the music requires a shift from position 3 on the A string (C note) up to a F on the same string, a major third interval. I would like tips on how to improve that accuracy. When reading a fast tempo score one doesn't have much time to look at the fingerboard. I'll probably look at what double bassists do.
Hola buenos dias, soy sucriptor de tu pagina hace mucho tiempo, pero no se mucho ingles, cuando haces ejemplos con el bajo entiendo, pero cuando hablas no, me gustaria que me recomendaras una pagina o un profesor igual que tu, pero que hable en español, muchas gracias por tus videos Un abrazo
+Diego Chaur Saludos Diego, Scott es tremendo y un excelente maestro, pero si buscas algo en español existe un portal llamado Bajissimo y también tienen algunos vídeos en TH-cam. Creo que son de Costa Rica. Es más o menos la misma idea, tal vez pueda servirte. Suerte.
I have a really short little finger and small hands in general so find it hard to reach across the fretboard towards where the neck meets body. I also can't keep my thumb on the back of the neck when trying to reach the e string even with my index finger! Any suggestions for a work around? Thanks
Been able to recite the alphabet backwards for years, since I was a small child, but these bass lessons are beating me down!! Ha ha!! Thanks for all the info.
So when moving down the neck, do you try to have all four fingers pressing on each fret and then lift them one at a time (pinky, ring, middle, index), or do you just apply pressure on the specific fret being played?
Where's the tab and notation to this lesson ? Put the link here pls. :) Great lesson Scott ! Btw Scott what are you think about Carol Kaye and her bass learning method ? I'm just curious ;) Cheers !
Great lesson Scott, though I'm thinking that an unlined fretless is not the best bass for me to use for it. It does however work as an EXCELLENT fretless intonation exercise as well. I should to go get my fretted from the rehearsal room, my brain is getting fried.
3 stars for the video. 1. you have to master it first. 2. you have to figure out why uther (yes uther) people can't do it. 3. you have to figure out how to teach it. I do this type of playing a lot, just did an hour and a half of bathroom practice. You are sorta with me in the bathroom, sorry 'bout that,) thinking of tips that stuck. This tip is like a boxer looking at his own right-hand hammer while he punches... I bought my used Ibanez bass for £90, best thing I ever did 𝄢𝄢𝄢
Eineaj Ern Ha - I haven't seen that movie yet, but it's on my list of stuff to watch... when you have kids, getting down the cinema is like solving a rubix cube - blindfolded, lol ;)
This video came on autoplay and I swear I was practicing the exact same thing so me and the video sync'd up for 6 or 7 notes till I freaked out and stopt playing...geezzz
Alphabet backwards...same tune as on the way forward: zyx,wv...uts,rqp...onm, lkj...ihg...fedbca Learned this as a kid...how do I collect my 3 points???
michael tomazou A fun thing with this kind of stuff is, if you never tried it but get to do it in a steady flow on the first try without stumbling and you get 10 million if you succeed.) grrm.
Hi I just got a bass guitar brand new and it sounds like shit on open string, it looks like the strings are touching the neck and yes it is tuned but I need to know if its the truss rod or something else.
It probably is the truss rod if the strong is touching the fretboard. You should try adjusting it and see if it helps. If it doesn't help, get it checked out.
You know how stupid I felt watching you follow your finger up the fret board and realizing that's what I do lol. That explanation for dummies is peak, although the demonstration would've been enough for me.
Finally showed me something to solve flying fingers!
Thank you for all your free tutorials im like stupid broke they've fantastic and informative.
Your more about the music than money and that's kool by the pool.

Love the phrasing in this mehnnn, your tuffff frfr🔥🔥🔥

Chris Edwards Awesome Chris! practising scales on one string is a great exercise.
Hey Scott, just want to say thank you very much!
Damn, it's incredible to see how little I know about bass playing... one simple excersise and it takes ages to learn... thanks for sharing!!
Your videos have been very helpful. Thank you very much.
what a GREAT lesson... you rock Scott
Wow. This lesson created a breakthrough for me!
Awesome! Makes total sense. Thank you for the explanation, much appreciated.
I think these are really good exercise techniques, and I think I will work on them right now!! Thanks for good advices every time Scott, I really enjoy your videos
Scott's the man, greetings from NYC!!!
Carlos Diaz Carlos - NYC - great place! Groove on man :)
Reminds me of an advanced driving course I took - one lesson was all about looking in the right place at the right time.
Nice excercise, remembering a similar lesson by Pebber Brown on Guitar.
Thank you for your video!!!

I give you 10 points for this video!😂
Thanks a lot, Scott.😘
thanks it great!
alfabet backwords is one of DUI tests here in US if you are drunk lol,cant even say that sober,nice shifting btw

Playing Simandl with his 3 finger technique helped me a lot with not having my eyes glued to the bass
i usually keep gazin at where my last note was at. still contemplating it even tho ive moved on up the fretboard
going to be in london in a few weeks.... any great bass spots i should check out?
Greetings from Chicago. Home of the blues and pizza
I LIKE IT. :)
16:50 you are great mate. you make me laugh so i clapped at pc. you are great :)

Hey Scott, is there a way I could buy the Vanderklay bass amp and have them ship here.
So when moving down the neck, do you try to have all four fingers pressing on each fret and then lift them one at a time (pinky, ring, middle, index), or do you just apply pressure on the specific fret being played?
Pity you didn't get a reply. I'm curious too. It gets recommended but I find it works as an exercise then goes out the window when I play for real.
yes, I can actually do the alphabet backwards, I had a girlfriend that challenged me to learn it that way, it always blows people away.
HA! That’s my glove from high school! Where the hell did you find that thing!
When i play notes my thumb (behind the fretboard) gets all bent and weird. is this normal?
i sing it:
zyxwvut, srq, then comes p, onm, lkj ihgf, EDCBA (like lmnop)
I learned because i saw a song on it, its called CBA's
what happened to this bass, scott? it sounds so good
Where's the tab and notation to this lesson ? Put the link here pls. :) Great lesson Scott ! Btw Scott what are you think about Carol Kaye and her bass learning method ? I'm just curious ;) Cheers !

I like how you always check your English as if English was your second language. 😄

Score what’s the point of the glove now that there’s no fingers on the glove. 🤣
love how u socialize with jour wife ..so respectfull.even when youre accually at work....lol.
The note back up is (C D E F G A B C)
I learned to say the alphabet backwards when I was a kid. I've had it as a stupid human trick ever since.
I can definitely say the alphabet backwards. Fairly quickly, I might add.
I always look ahead but I don't do frets...
I can say my alphabet backwards but I worked at a library for years so I kinda had to get good with my alphabet because everything was alphabetical
it is possible to practise this with a pick?
i can say the alphabet backwards... thanks for the lesson.
I can't keep my index down while playing my pinky
So look where we going first? Like chess??
"the alphabet backwards."
hey dude, why the gloves?
If you go on his website, it actually explains that he has a medical condition which messes up his nerves,
And the glove is there
Why alweys wearing gloves
Try using the Russian Alphabet...
I am that horrible person that can do the alphabet backwards. Sorry! Love the videos though
отличный урок, душевный))
this a classical bass exercise also
