Major-Minor Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 The Major's Bass Boot Camp Sight Reading in 5th Position (for Bass Guitar) Three exercises, all in 5th position. Although, as usual, you can finger these pieces in other ways, the whole point here is to become totally familiar with the 5th position ie the first finger plays the 5th fret, and it's one finger per fret. To be honest, although the 5th is the first position I use the one finger per fret method, even here it is quite a stretch (assuming you are using the correct technique) and I find these pieces quite tiring. Good practice though.
