arpeggios

I'm in a rut with my playing, which means it's time to get back to bassics and hit those scales and arpeggios with the metronome. Well, running scales and arpeggios with a metronome (or a simple drum machine) is a little boring, which is why I tend to move right into playing songs, which then...

Hey guys, i was wondering if there are any comprehensive studies to really efficiently learn the fingerboard, i have been practicing my scales and arpeggios buti think i need some new ways to look at the fingerboard, i also struggle with intonation in general and the middle and upper register.

Ok, so the chorus for this song is in Amaj, easy enough. However, during the verse (basically C#m7 and Dmaj7) I'm kinda confused as to what the key is. I know I can play around those two chords using their arpeggios/chord tones, but when it comes to throwing a fill in at the end of the Dmaj7...

Hello all, It shouldn't be, but my music theory is a bit flaky, so hoping my betters here can confirm or expand on this... I think I've been a bit duped by a questionable (and in some cases plain wrong) "bass theory" poster I bought online. I've seen a few different iterations of it online...

Looking for the book: Dr Morton's miraculous arpeggios fingering for the double bass. Thanks

I've made some good basslines in the past but a lot of the time I end up sitting down and thinking ok chord tones got it, now scales got it. But when I try putting them together it sounds either random or very repetitive as if I'm just playing scales or arpeggios. Also, it's hard but I can't...

So, I got a groovy, sexy, new exercise for you all. Take the fourth tone out of all your modes and shed that six note scale with all your standard standard scale/arpeggio practice patterns. Enter the "6/9 Sextatonic Scales"! (trademark pending)

Hello again. If you are interested in developing your technique using stuff you already may know then this is the video for you. Aimed at newer players, but also at more experienced bassists who want to learn alternative ways around the neck, this video provides an easy bite sized portion of...

The website Musicopedia seems to be down, and I was wondering if anyone knows of any other similar resources. It allowed you to select an instrument, number of strings, to select arpeggios or scales, etc. and then map out what you wanted on the fretboard, a pretty incredible tool. Feel free to...

Hello again bassists! Here’s a lesson on introducing more complex scales such as the melodic ‘jazz’ minor scale. This is a great scale for learning to understand different ways around the bass and certainly for getting your head and fingers around more not-so-common chords. Please subscribe...

Hi fellow Bassists, Here’s another episode from Darren on using scales to create cool licks. This video demonstrates the simplicity of the diminished scale, and after, it’s application. I hope you find this insightful and useful. Please try to subscribe to the channel for many more new videos.

I've been trying to incorporate more arpeggios into my playing, both lines and solos. But, just focusing on lines for the moment, going through my transcriptions I find RB likes to drop from TP to the nut with an arpeggio in the middle of the drop and I have a few others but I'm having trouble...
