Memorizing the notes on a 5-string bass
Memorizing notes on a 5 string bass is fairly straightforward.
Memorize all of the natural notes, one bass string at a time. Practice these notes out loud, and play them as you say them.
Next, practice saying the sharp and flat notes out loud. You’ll recognize their locations easily since they are simply the sharp or flat versions of the natural notes you already know.
And that’s it! Do this every day for 5 minutes, and you’ll have the 5 string bass notes memorized within 1 or 2 weeks.
