Introduction
Theory really did change my life. I started playing in bands when I was 11 and my technique and ear were decent but my knowledge was not at the same level. As soon as I started to understand music and my bass guitar a little better, my confidence soared as did my ability to play in different musical situations. This only really happened years after I started, just as I started out as a professional musician. When I really took the responsibility to learn my craft (for me understanding theory above all else) I could just…...play better. Improvising, jamming, last minute gigs and composing all became easier too. What follows in this short ebook is a series of diagrams designed to get you to understand your fretboard a little better as well as present a few really important theory concepts. If you haven’t already signed up for the free course at www.onlinebasscourses.com make sure you do! I go through how to use a lot of these ideas in video lessons with downloadable PDFs and backing tracks. You’ll also get notified of any new blog posts; all of which I write to try and give you as many fun and useful things to play and to think about. Make sure you study what’s in this ebook and if you have any questions, I’d love to hear from you: [email protected]. Dan NOTE: There is no explanation in this ebook, just the diagrams. Some of these diagrams come from a free video lesson or blog post and are indicated accordingly.
