Man. You have just relieved years of confusion and stubbornness in just an hour and half. I am so impressed!”
— Michael Tor
Do you ever feel like—no matter how much you practice or try to play something fresh and creative—your fingers always go to the same, boring old patterns? Almost like they have a mind of their own?
Talk about frustrating. And sadly, this frustration plagues almost every bass student I talk to. So sleep easy, it’s not just you.
It turns out that mastering the fretboard is uniquely difficult, and here’s why. I like to call it...
THE
FRETBOARD
PARADOX
The trouble with patterns and shapes is that, on one hand, they are the foundation we use when learning how to play the bass. But on the other hand, using traditional patterns and shapes can leave you feeling trapped in a small area of the fretboard.
Where every time you want to play more fun and challenging bass parts, you end up feeling lost as you try to utilize the upper strings and frets. And you quickly give up and go back to playing the same-old patterns and shapes again.
This doesn't happen to great bass players.
Think of your favorite bass player, whether it's Jaco, Hadrien Feraud, Gary Willis, or Marcus Miller.
Notice anything? They don’t get “stuck” playing a small section of the fingerboard.
They weave their way up and down the fretboard — almost without thinking about it. And they connect all of those super-juicy bass lines together with ease.
So at this point, you’re probably thinking that all you have to do to master the fretboard is follow in the footsteps of your favorite bassist…
There’s just one problem with that...
After getting to know dozens of the world’s best bass players, I realized they ALL followed a different approach to mastering the fretboard. But however they did it, it required marathon practice sessions — with almost inhuman levels of focus.
So it would be almost impossible for an everyday bass player to master their fretboard by following in the footsteps of their favorite bass players.
Because few of us have the time to spend eight hours practicing every day. Plus even if you do, most people don’t have the same raw skill that it takes to master the fretboard by brute-force memorization and repetition.
So I started to wonder if there was a better way to master the fretboard, instead of relying solely on talent and time in the shed.
I wondered if I could find a systematic, “paint-by-numbers” approach that would allow anyone to improve their fretboard fluency — in a matter of weeks. Not years.
That way, anyone would be able to break free from the same-old patterns and blaze their way up and down the neck, just like their favorite bass players.
So I started looking high and low for clues. I poured over my old practice journals. I dug up my old exercise books. I even revisited lessons I took with my own mentors — like Gary Willis and Jeff Andrews.
And after months of tinkering, I finally found the clue I was looking for buried in the back of an old music theory textbook…
While I was looking for a way to demystify the fretboard, I remembered an age-old harmonic concept that I learned from one of my music teachers.
And after playing around with it for a bit, I realized this concept allows you to connect every fretboard pattern that you’ve ever learned…and you ever will learn…into just FOUR “master” patterns.
In fact, it’s physically impossible to play anything on the bass that does not fall into one of these four patterns. Which is why I call these master patterns the “source code” of the bass fretboard. Because they allow you to “see” the notes on the fretboard as a single, cohesive unit. Not fragmented, disconnected patterns.>
The only problem is, these master patterns are also MUCH more complex than typical patterns and shapes. Which is why no one ever thought to use this method to teach mastering the fretboard before.
So I knew if I was going to be the first person to crack the code, I would need some help…
And that’s when I called up Eric Wills — a 10-year veteran in creating music training programs, who has worked with everyone from Pearl Jam, to Billy Sheehan, to The Red Hot Chili Peppers. (He’s Head of Educational Content here at SBL — and a badass bass player!)
For four months, we experimented with different ways to teach these complex master patterns — looking for anything that might serve as a shortcut. A few times, we thought we had cracked the code…only to shake our heads in frustration when we realized we had actually just gone around in circles.
But then, after throwing out our first three or four versions, we finally figured out an accelerated approach to teach these master patterns that actually worked.
And from there, we were able to create the first and only step-by-step course for gaining complete control over the bass fretboard, in just a few weeks, by using these four master patterns.
Break free of your ruts, and get the proven, “paint-by-numbers” system that will unlock the fretboard in just 30 minutes-a-day.
The Fretboard Accelerator is 16-module course that will take you from repeating the same patterns over-and-over to creating your own original lines without even thinking about it, all in as little as 30 minutes-a-day.
The first system that can be used by any bass player to master the fretboard.
No need for marathon 9-hour practice sessions. See results in as little as 30 minutes a day.
It’s totally “paint-by-numbers”, so as long as you follow the system, you can’t fail.
This course is bringing my playing skills to a point I never thought I had. I have a teacher that I study with once a week and he even noticed a difference.” — Matthew Tavella
“My deepest thanks for this outstanding course. It has single handedly taken my playing to heretofore unheard heights. It is simply amazing to me just how much more comfortable, confident and fluent I feel I have become with my fretboard.” — Michael Callaghan
“[This] concept…is a game changer! I’ve been playing for 10+ years (as a hobbyist) and I’ve always struggled to learn the fretboard. Just with this week, I think I have improved more than the last 10 years.” — Antonio Baker
The “Triadic Harmony Concept” reveals that ALL western music falls into just four triads — the major, minor, augmented, and diminished. And that means everything you play on the bass can also be broken down into just four “master patterns” — which align with these four triad types.
The problem is, these four master patterns are also much harder to learn than traditional patterns and shapes. So in order to increase your fretboard fluency, you can’t just learn these master patterns on paper or practice them in random order.
You need to follow a system that breaks these complex master patterns down into simple, step-by-step exercises — until you can “see” the entire fretboard and your fingers have intuitive control of the entire neck…
Which is exactly what we’ve built with The Fretboard Accelerator program.
