*BOSS LEVEL* 😈 Fretboard Challenge?!

Often it’s the little things that make a really good bass player. And they’re things you can work on, too. In today’s video, we’re going to show you something that often separates GREAT bass players from everybody else. And it’s one of the simplest steps you can take to really elevate your bass playing.

Scott, my dude, congratulations, but don't feel bad Ian, that was pretty hard anyway.

[carpediemarts]

Pastorius played a similar game on tourbusses.

this is fun tbh i was practicing with my bass and this showed up to me surprising i played along with you guys and i messed up so bad hahaha btw thanks for giving me a new practice lesson.

Is the objective here just to play the same note in different positions every time?

[ottolehikoinen]

Used to check the tuning of my guitar by playing an e and a on every string. For extra points, use only index finger then middle etc.

What a nice practice lesson gotta try this!

[joshuamonk]

This is awesome.. I’m going to get my students on this I think

[Cavemanfbs]

I had to watch it a few times so far I understood what was going on

[pickledcottoncandy]

As someone who's poorly played guitar for 25 years, I have no idea what's going on.

This video just made me understand the circle of fifths for the first time

A game for texting and improving your knowledge of the fretboard is f-ing genius. My mind is blown. It’s stuff like that’s self taught musicians like myself miss out on. It makes me kind of sad and frustrated.

That's some Solid Snake-level death scream.

[twosnakse]

I’m pretty sure that this is also the progression from Snarky Puppy - Lingus!

[jacobhorn]

The circle of fifths is like THE key to writing most music on guitar and bass. Remember it boys remember it!

[Matt_bechillin]

Fastest way to learn the fretboard is treating this like a game

[marksipple]

I love this one, but my students always hate it 😂

[whendowedie]

This is just my exercise to memorize the fretboard...

[judowrestlerka]

I think I've actually completed this 3 or 4 times in my life.

I feel like Scott messed up cos he wanted to play that half diminished, which typically breaks the circle of fifths in standards,
