In fact the only notes I 'see' easily as flats are Bb and Eb. Stupid bloody brain I've got! Nope. I'm the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 It's learned. I don't think I was ever in a band that wrote songs with a Gb or a Db in the chord structure. However F#m cropped up all the time and Bb and Eb often came up too. A, D, G all the time. Heck, I only just discover B# and Cb aren't made up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToolOfIgnorance Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 A new course for bass guitar has gone onto Zoltan's Bass Lounge now, and this is free as well along with everything else on there at the moment. It covers the major scales and has sections for both 4 string and 5 string which is really cool. Another good one to check out, which is where I will be going shortly to get properly stuck in! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Just signed up. I'm very much a "pick up my bass and noodle for a bit" so hopefully I can get a bit more structure in my practice with this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewine Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I'm isolated, however because. I'm retired, under normal circumstances all I do with my time is practice. I really miss gigging ,being around people and the energy we get from gigging. Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammed with some guys online had video chats with one of my bands, but nothing scratches that itch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Thanks for doing this @Zoltan Dekany I reckon to know my scales but I'm finding your position shift options really useful. Thanks also for not promoting 1-finger-per-fret - that's a recipe for tendonitis! (EDIT - I meant particularly at the headstock end of the fretboard.)
