    Sorry Trooperduck, that is one octave lower than Middle C. The third fret of the A string is C3 of the piano. C4 (middle C) is on the fifth fret of the G, 10th fret of the D, 15th of the A and 20th of the E if you have that many frets.

    well… indeed it’s too fast. just try to imagine that you’re a complet beginer… than you’ve got basic questions to answer.. first did you explained why is this important to know? and you just showed the notes, but for a begginer it’s also important to know where is it for real… so also you sould tell us that is the C is on the 3rd fret on the A string… and some other major thing (haha bad pun) is the sliding….
    for a begginer nothing is evident.
    try to remember how did YOU learnt this…

    Excuse me for being retarded but isn’t this the 12 bar blues scale or something :S

    Depends on who …
    Depends on who taught you or if you taught yourself, where you change position and what you consider a starting point. 4 fingers is correct but sometimes comfort doesn’t hurt tone and quality.

    i have years of music experience with many kinds of instruments, just picked up a bass today and this lesson didnt have such good detail, but it was a good starting position and now i can play the C scale and I havent looked at anything related to bass other than this video. I dont do it the way he shows, i found that you can use a lot less effort than from the way he does it. There are two open strings you can use instead of fingering for them, etc. Anyways, i can play C scale now. Thanks.
