The Circle of 5ths + ZONES = The SECRET to Fretboard MASTERY

Fretboard exercises can be found all over the internet and in almost any bass learning methodology book. Sometimes it's scales, sometimes it's specific patterns and almost in all instances they can definitely be useful. Today, however, we want to talk about how you can break your fingerboard down into segments - or zones - to allow for a more focused learning experience. We'll cover the basic first step to getting these zones under your fingers, and then how to up-level from there so every single part of the fretboard will feel accessible and 'known' to you, no matter what key you're in.
