In this video I'm going to teach you the secret to unlocking the bass fretboard. And guess what? It's really obvious.
Many bass players want to learn how to play fluently all around the bass guitar fretboard. This usually mean working outside of the common one octave fretboard patterns we all learn when getting started. So today we'll look at a few exercises that should help with playing lines over the entire fretboard. You'll improve your position shifting, your technique and your knowledge of keys.

This exercise is taken from the new TalkingBass book The Cyborg Bassist Volume 1: Scale Mastery For Electric Bass which you can find here:
