Just Listening to Biffy Clyro "Only Revolutions"

Good Album 4 out of 5

Good quick exercise for you bass players out there today, a scale exercise to help with the left hand and fingers.

As this is my first post containing tab just a quick heads up on how to read, its fairly straight forward, however please do contact me if you have any questions at all.

The very bottom line is your thick E string and the very top string is the thin G string.
The numbers on the line represent the numbers of frets up the fret board from the headstock or tuning machine heads of the bass. For example on a typical right handed bass you would count 5 frets left to right.

Finally as a little extra i have added in bold the fingers your should be using, in the exercise below you need to use all 4 with 1 being your index finger and 4 being the pinkie.

Apologies some of you probably already know how to read tab however just wanted to cover it for everyone.
