How to Find the 3rd & 4th Frets on Bass

Video Transcript

"So now that we have our first two frets and we've marked them off, we can find our next two frets and we use the same process. So I move my first finger down to where we marked off that second fret right here, right, and then I find the octave with my pinky. Again you're going to have to find to it... and then you want to mark that off, and then you can cut that in half. And those are your first four frets. And now that we have that we can practice. A good technique to practice is open, one, two, four, one, and then you go open again, so you got one, two, four, one, open, one, two, four, one, open, one, two, four, one, open, one, two, four, one. And that's your chromatic scale. And you can go through back and forth, up and down the bass, and that really helps to move from open position, yeah, first position into second, and gets your hands moving. And that's our first four frets."
