Fretboard Domination Exercise 1

A bass player can easily start to feel “stuck” in one spot on the fretboard if they aren’t sure where exactly a pattern of notes are somewhere else on the fretboard. This is a good exercise for just going through and systematically memorizing where every note is on the fretboard. It’s a good little drill to run through when you feel it’s time to really conquer the fretboard.

Running through the tones in time with a metronome is the best bet for getting the most out of this exercise. This is just a memorization exercise, not a musical one. Don’t worry about tone, just be able to play each note in time.

Knowing where the notes are gives you the ability to jump/leap/walkup to specific notes in time, with good feel and confidence. People definitely notice that stuff and it separates you from the pack!
