Talking Technique: Drills for Fills 

you are a great teacher, Arianne! Hammer !

Cool! From slow and difficult to clearer and easy to fun and fast. This will help me a lot!

Ariana, you are great. Thank you.

How easy and smooth you go about teaching theory with efficiency! So Well done!

great exercise and the teacher is amazing.

thanks for the videos. they're very helpful. mostly, i enjoy your brevity-as with your playing-no wasted effort!

Etudes for bass guitar! Yay!💯❤️

great exercise very helpful thanks Arianne.

Gotta' shred those scales! Gotta' play them slow and thoughtfully too. Also that orange shirt goes great with the turquoise bass, couldn't help but notice.

genius!!!!! there i got 2 years worth of future practice , ! see u on 20 19 , ready lol

thank you my teacher

If you watch closely you will notice one of the reason she gets such a solid clear string-note tone and sound is her finger placement is similar to playing fretless bass which is as close to the fretted bar as she can get (playing fretless is played on fretted bar). This allows superb clean notes on string reducing any extraneous string noise when noted. Yes playing anywhere in fret will give the associated note but will also allow unwanted noises (poor finger pressure) and inconsistencies in note-sound quality. You can tell Ari, from 1000s of hours of playing has very strong and accurate finger dexterity-placement and technic quality when she plays.I love watching her relaxed and isolated playing! She knows where she's going before going there!

Great lesson thank you

You are Genious👌

Love these lessons any advice for my 6 string bass journey

your pinkie lands in the middle of the fret in your finger per fret playing here. I struggle with this on a fretless(painted frets) because finger in the middle sounds out of tune. My hands are bigger than average, what would you suggest?

Amazing teacher. Qestion: if we do the same exercise ascending and descending in 2th, 4th, 5th....13th it will contain the digitation of any existing baseline?

I'm in love

How do you go from these drills to a fill in a musical context?

What is the Right hand technique you use for this exercise and generally? If you could break it down that would be a plus because most youtubers forget about the right hand completely in their lessons. Great lesson by the way.

Thanks I need this note nic

Can you give a lesson applying this to fills in songs?

Anybody know if Ariana talks about her signal chain at all? Her tone is always deliciously full but clear. Probably some DI signal blended in but I need to know!

saying notes out loud...while you're at, SING them before you play them. It will boost your ears tremendously. (just make sure there's no one around if you're a terrible singer...like me)

Ich liebe diese Übungen!...willst du meine Frau werden?! Du bist echt klasse. ???? Hey, war nicht so ernst gemeint!!

Wow, you just managed to take all the fun out of playing Bass.

Marry me?

When she adjusts her glasses it drives me wild

Too fast for me and no tabs,!
