UNDERSTANDING THE BASS GUITAR FRETBOARD

1. Know Your Tuning

Standard 4-string bass tuning (low to high):
• E (4th string – lowest)
• A (3rd string)
• D (2nd string)
• G (1st string – highest)

Each string is tuned a perfect fourth apart (5 frets).

2. Learn the Notes on Each String

Start with natural notes (A to G) on each string up to the 12th fret (after that, notes repeat an octave higher).

Example (E string):

Open – E
1st – F
3rd – G
5th – A
7th – B
8th – C
10th – D
12th – E (octave)

Do this for all four strings. Memorize these anchor points first:
• Open
• 5th fret (same as the next string open)
• 7th fret
• 12th fret (octave)

3. Understand the Fretboard Pattern

The bass fretboard has patterns and shapes. Notes repeat every 12 frets. Use this to your advantage:
• Same note appears 5 frets higher on the string below (e.g., 5th fret on E = open A).
• One string and two frets higher = same note (e.g., 5th fret E = 7th fret A).

4. Use Octave Shapes

Octaves are easy on bass:
• Two strings up and two frets over = octave up
(e.g., 3rd fret E string = 5th fret D string = G)

5. Practice with Fretboard Exercises
• Name every note out loud as you play.
• Use flashcards or apps like Fret Trainer.
• Practice one string per day, then mix.
• Try scale patterns (major, minor, blues) and say the note names.

6. Apply it Musically
• Learn simple bass lines and figure out the notes.
• Try transposing songs to different keys.
• Write your own bass riffs using notes you know.

Note
• Repetition is key — do a little every day.
• Patterns help: recognize octave and scale shapes.
• Play with others or a backing track to test your knowledge in context.
