The ONE Technique That Changed EVERYTHING


What connects great bass players like Jaco, John Patitucci and Billy Sheehan? For me, it’s their ability to move effortlessly around the fretboard without ever losing control.

When I see students jump to a different position on the neck, it’s often pretty easy to tell that something ‘difficult’ has just happened. A tricky shift can completely derail us. In this video I’m going to show you a technique that will help you to move up and down the fretboard super fast and without getting lost.

As always, see you in the shed…

Scott 🙂

  • Dunno if I'm missing something here, but I can think of numerous points in our current set where this seems problematic.

    For example – we do a cover of Foghat's Slow Ride, where the bass comes in on pretty quick (at least for me!) sixteenths with a move from the 10th fret to the 8th (so theoretically leading with the first finger if I understand correctly) – followed immediately by a note on the 6th. I've been leading the move down with my ring finger, to have my first finger ready for the 6th – and my ring finger ready for the following two notes on the 8th. (All on different strings for interest)

    Hitting that first 8th fret with my first finger seems to make the quick run that follows far more difficult – or am I missing something?

  • Hey Scott, when ever I go on your website, my laptop fan is cranking up. Have you heard other experiences like that? Maybe my laptop is just junk.

  • Is it just me, or does the downward traversal (at 5:21-ish) start on the 14th fret and the first four notes are 14-12-11 (shift) 9, instead of 12-11(shift) 9, 12 (D string as shown in the tab) etc.? Asking for a friend …

  • Billy Shehan, in 1984, the reason I wanted to play bass.
    Scott Devine, in 2021, the reason I actually bought another bass to learn again.

  • excellent video through my sbl studies (lifetime member) I play with the scales sliding up and down and popping up and down the scale at different points to help solidify where all the patterns are… I love this slide technique and can't wait to try it.. 🙂
