Tabs and Backing Tracks - Two-Octave Major Scales (Patreon)

My fellow bassists,

One-octave major scales are definitely a great thing to know in all keys. What I would say is even more useful is knowing two-octave major scales!

Practising two-octave major scales in all keys will give you a great intuitive knowledge of the fretboard in both the high and low registers, and will allow you to connect the two registers seamlessly.

If you haven't practised two-octave major scales much, or you've had trouble with it in the past, I'd strongly recommend following the fingering in the notation. That's the thing that causes most trip-ups, and if you use consistent fingering and shifting it makes it much easier to move the pattern around to whatever key you want.

As always, let me know if you have any questions and I'll make sure to respond ASAP!

Thanks for coming here and practising with me, have a great weekend and I'll see you in the next lesson!

Charles
