Hello my fellow bass players!!

Here's a tapping warmup I do before many of my practice sessions. It's a great way to ease yourself into practising tapping in a musical way!

Notice that it's almost the same pattern moved around the fretboard a little bit. There are some subtle variations but each two bar phrase is very similar and that will make it feel much easier!

Let me know if you have any questions or feedback, thanks so much for coming here and practising with me and I'll see you in the next lesson!

Whenever I mess around with tapping it was just having fun hitting different notes to make different noises. I never realized you're spelling chords this whole time until this exercise. For example with your fretting hand you're playing ROOT-5TH-OCTAVE for the 1st chord of the exercise & with your tapping hand you're tapping the 3RD & MAJOR 7TH, this in turn becomes an Fmaj7 chord with the tapped notes. This opens up a whole new world so I tried to take all the notes 2 measures at a time to figure out what chords you're spelling & this is what I came up with, hopefully it's right or pretty close. [: Fmaj7 | % | Cmaj7 | % | Fmaj7 | G6 | % | Am9 | % | G6 | % | Fmaj7 | % | Fm7 | % | Cmaj7 | % | Bbmaj7 | C :] I wanted to ask you Charles if there is anyway you could add the names of the chords to the top of your tab & notation so we know what chords we're about to spell. I think it would make learning & memorizing the notes on our fretboards more efficient & chords in general would become easier to understand? You rock Charles, keep doing your thing

Thanks for the suggestion! That's a good idea, I'll make sure to incorporate that in future exercises where it applies! And yes you got all those chords right 😊
