[makabarett]

good excersise but dave marks says its not good for beginers to start 1234 exercsise on 1st or bottom end frets-start somewhere about 8th fret and biuld strenghth from there to avoid injury

[Igastopheles]

Makabarett is right. Seriously everybody with any interest in bass, go watch Dave Marks' Bad Habits for Bass. He'll show you why starting on the first four frets with this exercise is a bad idea.

[EqualityRevolt]

@Igastopheles - Absolutely right. Carol Kaye also has some great articles online about this issue. Also, if you ever move on to playing fretless, you will NEVER play in tune using a 1-finger-per-"fret" method. Beginners should know that a majority of books and "instructional" materials out there are often misguided and just plain wrong.

good exercise, but can you do it a lttle bit slowly, it's hard to understand for non english speaker, mostly if he is a begginer

[zirgelis]

just watch on his hands, thats all, no slowed down video is not necessary.
