In this video, I’m going to show you 5 essential bass arpeggios that will help you stop playing robotic scales and start creating musical bass lines. If you are tired of running up and down the fretboard without knowing what to play, mastering these specific bass guitar shapes is the key to unlocking the fretboard.

Most players get stuck in "scale mode," but professional bassists think in chord tones. By learning the Major 7, Dominant 7, Minor 7, m7b5, and the "Connector" shape, you will be able to handle almost any chord progression in Jazz, Funk, or Rock.
