How to really learn your fretboard! Pentatonic series #4 with Scott Devine

[devine]

Hey guys,

I used to ask myself this question ALL the time... 'How do the great bassists move up and down the neck so seamlessly throughout the same tonality, groove or solo pattern without getting lost and wondering where the hell they are???

Well for my next lesson in my series of pentatonic tutorials I wanted to cover how to get this happening in your playing. Tip - It's about memorizing multiple positions for each tonality... sound tough but it's easier than you think.

In this next tutorial I talk about how to start getting this down within your pentatonic scales... but this can applied to so much more. - Scales, arpeggios etc etc...

The outcome.... You start to 'see' all of the options available over your entire fretboard.

Check this tutorial out and find out what I'm talking about...

These lesson are fantastic, and in conjunction with seeing a teacher, are an invaluable resource. Amazed there is no discussion here. And no..I'm not affiliated with Mr Devine in any way!

Can this be an option?
In G:
Index finger plays G on the E string.
Slide index finger to play A on the E string.
Pinky finger plays B on the E string.
Index finger plays D on the A string.
Pinky finger plays E on the A string.
Index finger plays G on the D string.
Slide index finger to play A on the D string.
Pinky finger plays B on the D string.
Index finger plays D on the G string.
Pinky finger plays E on the G string.
Nice, compact, quick up or down (even the down slide is easy, especially on flatwounds), easy hammer ons and offs, without excessive finger stretching.

Just wondering your opinion.
