Description
In this lesson, Steve Bailey explores one of the less glamorous but most rewarding parts of bass playing: shifting. Rather than relying on speed alone, the exercise focuses on developing confidence when moving across the fingerboard, building accuracy, control, and a stronger connection between positions. It's a straightforward concept that pays off every time larger intervals become part of a groove, a fill, or a solo.
Using a series of increasingly demanding shifts, Steve demonstrates how technical exercises can become musical ideas instead of repetitive drills. The goal isn't simply to reach the next note, but to do it with consistent intonation, relaxed movement, and enough control to make wide stretches feel natural over time. Whether you're refining your technique or looking for new practice material, this lesson offers a practical exercise that can become part of your daily routine.
