Developing your bass playing by changing notes
Now that you know where the notes of A and G are, we need to start to develop your
ability to change between them. Music is often made up of many different notes and
we need to be fluent at changing between them.
Below are three more exercises that require you to change between the notes of A
and G at different times. These will help you practise your changes.
Underneath each note we have noted the beat the notes are on, so that you can count
and change to the next note on the right part of the bar. We have also provided
play-along media files, so that you can set your BassXtractor to play the music
at a comfortable pace and cycle around and around to give you lots of practise.
Remember that there are video files for each exercise if you are at all unsure as
to what you are doing.
Exercise 4. One bar of A and a bar of G
Exercise 5. Two beats of A and two beats of G
Exercise 6. Three beats of A and one beat of G
