IntroductionTheory really did change my life. I started playing in bandswhen I was 11 and my technique and ear were decent butmy knowledge was not at the same level. As soon as Istarted to understand music and my bass guitar a littlebetter, my confidence soared as did my ability to play indifferent musical situations.This only really happened years after I started, just as Istarted out as a professional musician. When I really tookthe responsibility to learn my craft (for me understandingtheory above all else) I could just .play better. Improvising, jamming, last minutegigs and composing all became easier too.What follows in this short ebook is a series of diagrams designed to get you tounderstand your fretboard a little better as well as present a few really importanttheory concepts.If you haven’t already signed up for the free course at w ww.onlinebasscourses.commake sure you do!

You’ll also get notified of any new blogposts; all of which I write to try and give you as many fun and useful things to playand to think about.Make sure you study what’s in this ebook and if you have any questions, I’d love tohear from you: dan@onlinebasscourses.com .DanNOTE : There is no explanation in this ebook, just the diagrams.
