Today Vintage 4-String Bass 90 Mins

Scales, Arpeggios, and Theory

Focused heavily on minor 7th arpeggios across the entire fretboard. Locked in with a metronome at 90bpm. I noticed significant improvement in my alternate plucking consistency and right-hand stamina. The key was keeping the wrist loose.

Yesterday Fretless 5-String 45 Mins

Intonation and Ear Training

Worked intensely on sliding into notes and holding perfect pitch against drone tracks in C minor. Fretless requires constant, active listening. Spent the last 15 minutes just playing slow, melodic lines trying to get that classic "mwah" sound.

3 Days Ago Modern 5-String Bass 120 Mins

Slap Technique & Repertoire

Dug into some classic Victor Wooten lines. Worked on the double thumb technique. It's still a bit muddy at higher tempos, but the mechanics are starting to feel natural. Finished the session by reviewing the setlist for the upcoming jam session.
