Bass stuff

 

Bass exercises, sheet music of some of my songs and anything else I get the idea of sharing ;)

First a gymnastic streching exercise for your left (fretting) hand.

Play really slow and feel the tension disappear. Try to keep as many fingers as possible in contact with the fingerboard and make smooth transitions.

An old favourite of mine. 16ths, jumping across the fingerboard in a steady flow. The key here is smooth flow and using altering righthand fingers, no double strokes even though you skip strings.

Concentration warm up exercises. Just what it says.

An exersice I find interesting and challenging. It’s basically the same phrase musically spelled with different minor chord/scales as material. Practices a lot of different things at the same time, last but not least, the brain ;)

The sheet music for a song of mine, Without a trace.

From the duo CD Vibes & Bass
