That’s just the first line, have to try the other two lines on your chart today.
Piece of cake man, the other lines are super repetitive and SLIGHTLY different.
LOL YEA MAN!!!!!! I love it! 🤣 so awesome and she’s adorable man. Thats exactly how its done, repetitions! just make sure when your’e starting off the scale that you shift with your 4th finger instead of your third….if that makes sense. Great job man, told you so! I knew you would get it
Haha thanks man, she’s awesome and always an encouragement! I don’t know what you mean by shifting, I was shifting with my pointer finger up the fretboard.
Ahh, my typo. Meant to say you shirt with your 4th instead of your 1st. The first 4 notes should be (fingering) 1- 3 -4 -shift4
Got it!
Finally finished the semester and now I’m able to get back on this bass. Here’s my take on the challenge…decided to freak it a lil and add the minor scale to it.

ladies and gentleman…we have another challenge! lol KILLED IT. Love the twist man. great job on the transition between the keys and also the fingerings for the arpeggios. Are you tuned down? Im actually going to try and tackle the way you did it here!
Thanks, Man! And please do jump on in there. Yeah, I tune down to Eb (thank you church training lol).
I figured! lol all good man! give me about a week and I’ll be able to figure it out lol🤟🏾
30 bpm and working. What is the chord/harmonic that you end the exercise with. It sounds great but I cannot recreate it.
Hey I’ll show that in a video, pretty tough to explain in words. It’s actually pretty simple!
Up to 45 bpm. The extended scale kills my intonation at speed. I am on an old fretless.
45bpm is a perfect pace👌🏾 I know what you mean with that fretless, is it possible to be adjusted anymore?
I’m working on shifting with the 4th finger instead of the 1st also!
Nice man! There’s so many ways to alter this exercise as well as others. That’s the right mindset man💪🏾
