Program Description:
This program was originally written in order to help young bassists to learn the notes and simple scales on the bass. I soon got requests from more advanced bassists requesting features to help them extend their knowledge of the fingerboard. With each version, I strive to maintain a program that a bassist can use as a beginner and continue to use as they grow to professional levels.
