Bass String Skipping: Octaves Playing Exercise
Take a look at the next bass tab and sheet music exercise. It shows a simple octave riff played over a rock drum rhythm. The great thing about octave riffs is that the bass can really create the main rhythm accents, and not just the snare drum used in this rock rhythm.
If you have a lot of time on your hands try playing each exercise, or else just play 5 or 10 and move on the next exercises and lessons. The main objective of this exercise is to try and improve your right hand playing. Because you have to move your hand a lot while skipping a string you will feel slowed down while playing. Try to move as little as you can, and stay as close as possible to the strings.
