by Bass exercises are great for building strength, stamina, speed, precision – just about any aspect of your bass playing can be improved through a good exercise, and that’s absolutely true for your fretting hand.
Think about it: If you had a fretting hand that was twice as strong, twice as fast and twice as precise as it was right now, what could you do with it?
Could you:
- Play that fast bass line/lick that you haven’t been able to nail yet?
- Go for hours at a jam session without getting niggling pains in your hand?
- Have a pristine tone that sounds fantastic no matter what gear you play through?
You probably could, right?
Well to help you do exactly that, today I’m sharing 13 strength-building, speed-building and precision-refining exercises just for your fretting hand. These are absolutely killer exercises that isolate your fretting hand completely.
That means you’re not going to use your plucking hand at all.
It’s going to feel a bit weird at the start, but try these out. I think about it like having the strength of Arnold Schwarzenegger with the speed and precision of Bruce Lee – all in your fretting hand.
It’s a pretty great combo! Check out the lesson here:
