Bass Lesson: Music Theory Step 1 – Learning The Fretboard


First long form lesson I’m posting on YouTube. I have a lot of students asking about learning Music Theory. Step 1 is learning the fretboard. This Exercise covers 3 main areas: The Fretboard, Left Hand Technique and Right Hand Technique.

I dive into connecting notes on the fretboard with “Octave Finder” and “The 5 Fret Rule.”

I get caught in some rants and Ted talks along the way, so hope it’s not too long winded. There’s lots of good stuff here and chapters so you can skip to the good stuff.

Chapters:
0:00 Introduction
1:54 **Exercise** (105 BPM)
2:38 Explanation
4:30 Exercise (slow)
9:15 Left Hand
12:00 Right Hand
15:20 Music Theory Ted Talk
18:45 “5 Fret Rule”
21:35 Octave Finder
