#63 - My Favourite Fingerstyle Pentatonic Exercise (Patreon)

Hello my fellow bass players!

I think we can all agree that some people overuse the pentatonic scale. But love it or hate it, the pentatonic scale is a great sound that you can use in solos, compositions, bass lines and more! 

And in fact, one of the reasons people look down on the pentatonic scale is because of the way people use it... A lot of musicians know a few pentatonic shapes or licks and play them over and over again in every solo.

This exercise is designed to help you break out of that. You'll play through every "mode" of the pentatonic scale in a very efficient way. Do this exercise on a regular basis and you'll find it easier to play many variations of the pentatonic scale during your practising, performances or recordings!

Thanks for coming here and practising with me! As always, let me know if you have any questions or feedback, and I'll see you in the next lesson!
