#128 - 10-Minute Fingerstyle Workout
🕑 Added 2024-11-10 00:05:17 +0000 UTCMy fellow bassists,
The top two choices for this month's poll were - 10-20 minute practice sessions and cool licks you can throw in any bass line. So while I work on the cool licks you can throw in any bass line lesson, here's a 10-minute fingerstyle workout!
This workout covers rapid string-crossing, octaves, arpeggios and pentatonics. Do this at the start of your practice sessions and you'll be warmed up and ready for pretty much anything!
As always, let me know if you have any questions or comments and I'll make sure to respond ASAP!
Thanks for coming here and learning with me, have a great weekend and I'll see you in the next lesson!
Charles

Hey Charles ,what effects do you use in Elevated?
Shane Alleman
Totally see it man. Thanks
Charles Berthoud
Hi Shane, welcome to BassCamp! Can you see the attachments below the video description? The ones that end in pdf are the sheet music. This video is a combination of three exercises which is why the sheet music is in three separate files!
Shane Alleman
Hey Charles, it’s a pleasure meeting you here. I just noticed your email so I’m literally brand new here. I noticed the sheet music for this exercise along with the backing track but I don’t see the sheet music anymore. I’m I missing something?
Charles Berthoud
There'll definitely be more fingerstyle etudes in the future!
Benjamin Vance
Charles, I love this! That being said I am humbly requesting that you post another fingerstyle etude. I really liked the previous fingerstyle etudes, they were clever and helpful!
Charles Berthoud
The biggest piece of advice is to do it in small chunks so you don't get overwhelmed. The longer you do it, the better you'll get! Also, consider getting moises.ai - It's a pretty amazing software that turns any song into multitracks so you can hear each instrument individually. If you want the challenge, you can still transcribe from the full arrangement and use moises to check your work, or you can just transcribe from the isolated tracks
Ralyks
Unrelated, but while you're online...any tips for transcription? I did my first one recently and posted in the Progress thread. Some criticism and/tips would be much appreciated. I haven't been through music school and unfortunately don't have the opportunity to do so
Ralyks
Thx, I'll work on that.
Charles Berthoud
Since it’s mostly two notes per string, I usually alternate throughout that whole section
Ralyks
I remember this... On that E7 we play in the beginning...77 99 77...Should I be playing with strict alternating plucking? Or should I be raking down strings for efficiency sake when coming down from the G to the D string? I have a hard time maintaining strict alternate plucking at that speed, but I get tripped up raking as well. I'd like to know which technique will be most immediately useful.
