Bass Lessons - Andrews Finger Speed Warmup bass tab

This is something that i do for about half an hour a day to warmup

my fingers for speed.

it just helps you coordinate your finger movements while listening

to omething else.

when i learned this i was still playing a four string fender jazz

bass with medium frets,

but know im playing a five string with jumbo frets so as you can

imagine it got much more

difficult for me to do. anyway here it is.

the tuning doesnt matter at all, you're just playing a note on

each fret and it's excatly the same on a five or six string

|----------------1234---------------------------------2345

|------------1234----4321-------------------------2345----5432

|--------1234------------4321-----------------2345------------5432

|----1234--------------------4321---------2345--------------------5432

|1234----------------------------4321-2345----------------------------5432

hopefully you get the pattern by now all you do is just start on

the first fret and then play til fourth fret on each string

and then reverse it. you can go all the way down to the end of your

fretfoard or you can stop at the twelfh fret

after you do that whole long exercise to really practice your

finger speed play this

|--------------------------------------------------------1-3-5-7-9h12

|------------------------------------------1-3-5-7-9h12--------------

|----------------------------1-3-5-7-9h12----------------------------

|--------------1-3-5-7-9h12------------------------------------------

|1-3-5-7-9h12--------------------------------------------------------

if you can play that extremely fast then i will actually shine

your your shoes everyday fo free because

this is just that difficult

and for beginners the small (h) means hammer-on to do this just

play the note before the small (h)

and then place your finger on the note after it, it's just like

a slur when your reading music
