Bass Lessons - Eight Fingers Warming Up (all Styles) bass tab

This is a great way to warm up before a gig.

Just start at an average pace and graduately build up speed as you go

------------------------1-2-3-4-2-3-4-5-------------------------

----------------1-2-3-4-----------------2-3-4-5-----------------

--------1-2-3-4---------------------------------2-3-4-5---------

1-2-3-4-------------------------------------------------2-3-4-5-

------------------------3-4-5-6-4-5-6-7-------------------------

----------------3-4-5-6-----------------4-5-6-7-----------------

--------3-4-5-6---------------------------------4-5-6-7---------

3-4-5-6-------------------------------------------------4-5-6-7-

keep going as far as your fretboard goes and then back down again.

Try to sync your left and right-hand fingers, ie play both index-fingers

together, then both middle, both ring and both pinkies together.

(unless you play with a pick ofcourse :-D)

You can also add some variation to this theme like skipping one

finger on each hand, skipping a string or even alternate between

strings:

-------------------------1---3---2---4---------------------------

-----------------1---3-----2---4---1---3-4---2-------------------

---2---4---1---3---2---4-------------------3---1-2---4-----3---1-

-1---3---2---4-------------------------------------1---3-4---2---

etc, etc...

you can make it as easy or as hard as you want, but always try to

keep all fingers on both hands in sync.

Have fun......
