I'm really excited to finally present my system for playing two octave bass scales. This is something I've been teaching my private students for years, and I find it's a really helpful way to demystify playing in a larger range on the neck without getting lost. By keeping the skeletal structure of my two octave framework intact, you can start making sense of shifting and finding your way around the scale in a systematic way.

I cover two octave scales in major detail in my new ebook which is out now!!! Electric Bass Scales And Arpeggios is over 160 pages, packed full of my best knowledge on scales, modes, arpeggios, finding notes on the neck, improv, ear training, chords, and more.

$Improve Your Groove with this Rhythm Subdivision Exercise BECOME A BASS BADASS: https://www.bassbuzz.com/lessons/beginner/?ref=2 If you’re struggling to play rhythmic patterns that incorporate multiple rhythms, it’s time to improve your groove! I learned this subdivision exercise in college many years ago, and it helped me to build the “muscle” of dividing a pulse accurately in various musical ways. Most of the rhythms people have a hard time with are “subdivisions,” meaning smaller than one beat. In order to play these rhythms accurately, you need to be able to feel different fractional divisions of the beat. The only way I know of to get this feel is to do it over and over! And this exercise is a great starting point for your practice. The basic exercise is as follows: Turn on a metronome, quarter note = 60 beats per minute. On an open string, play a bar of eighth notes (2 notes per beat), a bar of eighth note triplets (3 notes per beat), a bar of 16th notes (4 notes per beat), then back to triplets for a bar, and then back to eighth notes. Each subdivision should be EVENLY dividing the beat into however many components. Variations: - Spend less time on each subdivision. Switching faster makes it harder - Subdivide all the way from 16ths to pentuplets, sextuplets, septuplets, and 32nd notes. This is about as far as beats are ever subdivided in the music most of us listen to, so if you can nail this version of the exercise you’re doing great. - Try adding some notes instead of just playing an open string. This might help you contextualize what you learn more easily Have fun! http://patreon.com/joshfossgreen http://joshfossgreen.com/onlinebasslessons Josh Fossgreen is endorsed by TC Electronic and Hipshot http://tcelectronic.com/ http://www.hipshotproducts.com/$
