It is quite possible to go through a bassline in a song in your mind only and explore alternate ways of playing a certain passage. To do this we must be able concentrate and stop our mind from wandering. One of the ways that helps, is to have a clear mental image of the fretboard.

Start out with the fretboard in front of you and visualize how you play scales while looking at the fretboard. Next close your eyes and visualize the fretboard and do the same thing. Extreme! Yes! I have found you can actually exercise virtually this way, while riding a bus or when laying down sick. But, don’t do it while driving your car!
