Fingerboard Mapping by Dr. Mark Morton - Click Here
A quick course for mastering the “grid” of the lowest octave of the Fingerboard. This is critical knowledge necessary before studying Simandl-Plus. Morton's simple and straightforward etudes will familiarize bassists with all available pitches across the four strings in any given position. This fundamental knowledge is critical for bassists to improve their playing beyond the beginning level by allowing many more fingering choices other than first and half positions and open strings.
