Permutation bass technique drills give you a yawn? Then put them in the context of songs. Permutations are an enormously useful technique drill on the bass. Here is a direct application - the original is in F and has an embellishment on beat 2 that I left out in this 1 minute short. For the full scoop get yourself on the list at arisbassblog.com
00:00 Introduction - Zig Zag Permutations
00:26 1-2-4-3 with a metronome
00:45 Application: Peter Gunn
Transcription
There's a drill that I call zigzag permutations: one two four three.
One two four three on one string, then go up a fret and up a string, and then you keep that up until you get to the end of the fretboard, whereas you turn around and go down.
And try a tempo that's challenging but not too fast. Make it sound good as if it were beautiful music. Relax, don't over grip. You can also change the direction.
[ 🎵🎵🎵 Ari plays in the opposite direction 🎵🎵🎵 ]
Don't look at the fretboard, just feel it.
Looking for an application of this thing? one, two, four, three - one, two, four, three.
[ 🎵🎵🎵 Ari plays Peter Gunn riff 🎵🎵🎵 ]
