What Fingerings Should I Use for the Modes?
Q: I’m beginning to learn the modes on bass, but I don’t know where to put my fingers. I can’t seem to find anything online that explains which fingers you start with when playing the second through seventh modes. Can you help?
A: This week I decided to answer with a video to play through some examples. We’ll go over fingerings, but more importantly, we’ll process the relationships of the modes on our bass.
