Love how the way he beaks it down step by step with the scales and technique. Think it's so important.

I like how you can see the numbers on fret board for the scale being played. Because if you go up(descending) or down(ascending) on fret board, you’ll find the same note certain frets apart from each other.

Great bro, i can't stetch as im used to hand shifts from playing cello. But i try. The number nashville system is what i use for worship bass

Love this video! I always thought I knew the number system this really helps how you lay out the notes across the neck!

I love the demonstration, easy to understand. Is there a program in which I could see the same thing on the computer with the staff and the overlay for the neck? Thanks PEACE!

Good stuff short fingers to i tend not to use the pinky and just shift. Yeah i know its slower but it doesnt hurt lol.

Great video!
I know you use MIDIculius for this, but how do you get the notes to show up in black on the fretboard? I’ve tried this with guitar but all the notes on the fretboard show up with the letter name in the note

[Jeangabi]

Wow very well explained ! Keep doing more please😊

[fundymentalism]

A cunning choice to make the superimposed numbers the same colour as the fret board.

[tocateur]

The fretboard illustration shows reversed. Or am i wrong?

[marcoslo]

I don’t know how my brain is wired but I find the numbers system harder to adapt to

[garethde-witt]

I have a hard enough time remembering scales without adding numbers to the mix

[omarloera]

Lmao dude tries to teach beginners scales… uses a 5 string bass and says “we won’t even use this string”

[MythixMusic]

This was very difficult to watch and follow.

[theaspiephotographer]

Way too confusing. I couldn’t even finish watching the video I got so frustrated.
