HOW TO MEMORISE the Bass FRETBOARD (In 4 Steps)

Thanks for this. At 49, after decades of dreaming about learning the bass, I'm finally getting one. This video is a godsend. Subbed. Thanks very much, wish me luck. Hopefully I'll be jamming along with Trevor Dunn in no time.

Picked up the bass 2 months ago and was struggling the entire time to map out the fretboard. Saw this vid and had the first 4 frets mapped out in minutes. Thank you SO MUCH for this. It's time to become absolutely unstoppable at this instrument now xD

I’m 62, I was sent this clip by my son who is an awesome musician he can play everything, very well too….. I have played sax, but a medical episode which has the left side of my mouth partially paralyzed is temporarily preventing me from blowing in it effectively, anyways….. this clip is going to help me learn the fret board so much easier. It is a good step by step process to help memorize frets and fingers to use…. Thanks to my son and to you for this lesson on fret board memorization

The random note finder is really cool. Never seen anyone else with that !! It's like learning the keyboard or typewriter.

Im a 48 year old woman who just received a bass guitar for Christmas from my husband! This video really helped me with the basics. Thank you! 😊

52 years old, and just started learning bass... this video is a godsend! Thanks!

Enjoyed this video. I’m a deaf bassist so the visuals really help a lot.

Heyy! I'm so glad that I ran across this video. I'm a bass player, but I literally just "play around" with it. I'm here to LEARN more. My family and I are a Gospel Bluegrass group, and we're going to have our first album recorded pretty soon, so I'm having to learn a few new originals! I have a hunch that your videos are going to help me a lot. Thanks so much! I'm going to start practicing using this video today!!

The most clear fretboard explanation I've gotten! Thanks bro!!

This video change my mind from giving up bass to there is a still chance that i can learn.

Music is infinite! And you're never to old to learn to play an instrument. I started learning the guitarlele harmonica , tenor ukulele and at 56 the baritone ukulele , at 58 the acoustic guitar and at 59 the bass guitar. Music is funtastic, it helps me be more creative, write songs be inspired and inspiring. Thank you for this awesome pattern. Bass, please! We be jamming all over the fret board ! Ps. It all started for me when I was 11 taking organ lessons and then playing organ and piano at a Baptist church when I was 15 until I was 25. Let the Music play! Let your music play! Always all ways 🎶

Just connected the octaves of a note to the knight on a chessboard!!!!! YAY!!!! Thanks for showing this to me. In public schools, this is called "differentiating". Students can relate other things in life to the objective to make learning easier and more accessible. If it weren't for your teaching of the octave placement of notes, 2 down and 2 over I wouldn't have connected it to chess (although for the knight it's 1 over 2 down or some variation). So, now, I understand completely! :) So, in the future, you (teachers) can mention this kind of thing to your students if you think they need it (visual learners). There are hundreds of other ways to differentiate, and this is one thing the internet is good for. We can find videos to suit our needs. Thanks for being in the right place at the right time!!!

This is most helpful video I've found for learning the fret board for absolute beginners! Thanks so much!

I m soon to be 41, and got a Bass for an early bday gift. Been hooked on tutorials." Bass is the instrument to the soul. " - Daniel Oiyageh

Thank you Tom. This really helps! God Bless you

This is an incredibly well explained video. Thanks alot. Will be practicing til I memorize the entire fretboard.

I was looking for a note randomizer to practice for a couple of days now, lucky that I've ran into your video. Thank you so much for all the information!

Awesome concepts and fingerboard cheats to learn as a beginner. Learning these tips really help get the "feel" of the bass. I've been trying to do that on my own for over a year now, and with instruction from other online bass instructors. Appreciate these concepts better than most lessons so far! I subscribed!

This is probably the most helpful video on the matter I have seen up until now. Thanks a lot man!
