Summary: Geddy Lee did not become a great bass player overnight, no matter what you may hear from Canadian mythologists. Don’t believe that he was raised by a pack of rock-and-roll wolves who had secret teaching techniques developed in dark caves over long winters. No, Geddy had to practice just like everyone else, including Charlie Hayden, Bootsy Collins and Robby Shakespeare. Make the bass your life and these scales part of your daily routine if you really aspire to get better. And of course you do or you wouldn’t be getting ready to watch these videos…

In this series of free music instruction videos, our rock and jazz guitar expert shows you how to play scales on the electric bass. From major to minor to triad, learning these scales will help improve your dexterity as well as your confidence as a bass player. Drawing from his experience teaching daily lessons, Casey Cormier talks you through each clip, all crucial steps to the mastery you are sure to achieve if you stick with Expert Village.
