Stu Hamm's Fretboard Fitness digs deep into bass guitar fretboard navigation, finger agility and the theoretical knowledge necessary to play all styles of music. If you consider yourself an intermediate bass guitar player, Stu Hamm's Fretboard Fitness is the bass boot camp you need to take your skills to the next level.

Stu Hamm first came to prominence after playing on Steve Vai's Flex-Able disc. Going on to become the bassist of choice to lay down the low-end for virtuoso guitarists like Frank Gambale, Joe Satriani and many others on the stage and in the studio. Fortunately for students of bass guitar, Stu's teaching skills match his musicianship providing a rare opportunity to learn bass guitar from one of the very best on the planet.

"These are the bass guitar lessons I wish I had when I was coming up. I've distilled the curriculum in Fretboard Fitness to the essential nuts and bolts of playing bass guitar; navigating the fretboard, building hand strength, and understanding the essential principles of music theory and harmony. All of the video bass guitar lessons, exercises and workouts that I've included in Fretboard Fitness are designed to form a strong bond between your hands, ears and mind."

The best quality of this course is how you work with it; you'll play your way through Fretboard Fitness. No tedious, boring routines or theoretical math here. Stu designed each workout to provide equal measures of applied theory, fretboard navigation and hand strength. This 3-in-1 approach gives you more of a musical perspective and makes working out more fun.

  • this sounds so sick. i cant wait to get a bass

  • This exercise is really working out the stretching on my fingers! Although I do need to work on keeping my fingers as close to fret as I can, I have a problem with a pinky. I kind of broke it long time ago and sometimes when i fret a note with my pinky, my bone cracks a bit. Should I go see a doctor about this before I get into the bass more seriously?

  • looks like a good exercise

  • my fingers are too short and only cover 3 frets instead of 4 like his -_- also my marriage finger and my little finger are just flimsy :L i need practice...

  • Incredible, i'm gonna improvisate that!

  • i really like ur tutorials but man, what about the 5 cord basses :S 

  • @umbrellaboots Fingers yes, idk about the wrist. Mine never hurt when I started to play. Check where your hands are placed and stretch a bit before and after you play, or just whenever. You'll play faster and everything,

  • I took 15 minutes just trying to get my fingers to stay on the right frets

  • @TheKratnoff you r not the only 1

  • I am just like wait WHAT ARE YOU DOING
