bass lesson - Am pentatonic exercise

Am pentatonic exercise using all 5 positions of the minor pentatonic scale, but in 4 note groupings and only using the top 2 strings (G and D).The exercise is played 4 times, 2 x starting on the root/octave, 1 x on the minor third and 1 x on the root again.

Can of course be played over C major too - after all the Am pentatonic scale share exactly the same notes as the C major pentatonic scale.

Can't register to your site because those stupid "guess the numbers I'm trying to show you then guess the answer to this math problem I'm showing with a white font on a white background" never work.

Use a forum that checks your e-mail by sending a validation e-mail instead. Way less frustrating.

@Endureth Most people with this problem has forgotten to put a check mark in the "accept conditions" check box, but still got the "math" error

@beattielol It is one of the essentials, yes. This goes for any instrument, especially if you intend to compose your own pieces.

[beattielol]

to come a good bass player do you have to know all your scales?

[skinheadcurbstomp]

@riseandshine1804 Hey, a bass lesson doesn't have to be so detailed. If you're a beginner who doesn't know a thing, then go to a lesson which are teaching you what notes are played at which fret. But if you want to learn how to improvise, and look for useful exercises, this is a great video. Read the title, A minor pentatonic exercise. And MarloweDK's lessons are way better than most lessons out there on youtube. Many people benefit from them, so if you don't like it, then don't watch them.

@saphero17 It was divided up into 4's instead. That's perfectly legal.
