Hello my fellow bassists!

3 of the most common mistakes I see bass players making are:

Big, inefficient left hand movements

Never using the left-hand pinky

Not playing in time (usually rushing or playing "ahead of the beat")

I'm giving you three exercises that will overcome each of these problems! Practise the chromatic and pinky exercises while always focusing on keeping your movements as small and efficient as possible. When practising the timing exercise, your main focus should of course be on playing in time as well as you can.

Thanks for coming here and practising with me, see you in the next lesson!

Thanks Charles. You inspired me to try getting back into music school and these exercises will definitely help with the audition :P
