This course is 13 MINUTES long and contains the following videos, each of which can be selected from the video player above:

1. Basic Notes on the E-string

This short video will introduce you to two notes on the E-string – F# and G. In addition to the open E-string, these notes will then be put to use in a simple bassline.

2. Exercise #18

This exercise uses the open E-string and the two new notes: F# and G. This is a continuous quarter note line, meaning that a note is played on every beat.

3. Exercise #19

This exercise again uses the three notes that have been covered so far on this course. This time, some half note rhythms have also been used.

4. Exercise #20

This exercise introduces the quarter note rest, meaning that you won’t be playing on every beat. Remember that a rest should be completely silent.

5. Exercise #21

This final exercise also features the quarter note rest. Remember to use the counting guide written beneath the stave for guidance if needed.
