EBS Lesson Five Developing finger control
EBS Lesson Five Developing finger control
In Lesson 1 we learned how to build a rock groove using quarter notes on the bass.
This lesson applies the same process for building new grooves, but uses quarter and eighth notes, combining them together to create more rock grooves.
Our first exercise develops our ability to play quarter notes and eighth notes on the bass, in preparation for the groove exercises that follow. Up until now, we have only played subdivisions using one finger of the left hand. Look at our first example. You will see that we use two fingers to play this exercise.
Go through each of the following exercises and use the multimedia files to play along with.
The fingers of the fretting hand (the hand that plays the frets) are numbered from 1 to 4, with the index finger being number 1 through to the little finger being number 4. The Thumb has no number and is referred to as the Thumb (T).
