Is that a Yamaha bass? It strikes me that compared to their electric guitars, the Yamaha basses are very well represented on the pro level scene. Many of the best bass guitar players in the world are Yamaha players.

I like to use Economy Picking for arpeggios on guitar. Essentially using the follow-through motion of your pick to play the next string. 2 notes played using the attack of 1.

I play 98% of the time with a pick. You are clearly overthinking, finger/thumb/slap/pick are just way of expression if it's not natural for you, skip this technique.
@KYLETEACHESBASSYT6 күн бұрын
Your advice above is empty. But to be fair, I'll address your points. I have practiced what's in this video for a week now. I can't tell you how much I've already improved (which is why I'm sharing it). Isolating a technical detail is the most efficient way to (and in this case, for me, the only way) go from "I can't do this" to "I can do this." It's not a gimmick, and it's not overthinking. This is good practice. 11 years of teaching band and privately to beginners and advanced students alike has shown me over, and over again that this is how you go from something that is seemingly, as you say, "unnatural," to something that feels natural and expressive. Talk to me in a year and I'll tell you how much I should have given up practicing with a pick.

Laughing, I played flamenco guitar way before I took up bass, so I'm used to using my fingers as a pick, just as Bernard Edwards used to; he obviously transferred it from flamenco players. Try it, it's a muted tone that's more pleasant to this bassist's and flamenco players' ears. Picks sound too high pitched for me. 😂

Ha...well...I love the sound and I think it's quintessential to certain styles on this instrument. But I hear you, certain sounds aren't for everyone!

Howdy Kyle, look at the Dweezil Zappa and Rick short about holding a pick with your thumb and second finger, not the index. Try that, muting's way easier and it's flamenco style. Then, remove pick and just use the fingers, you'll have even more mute, tone, and plucking control but with a muted tone (that I prefer). Pick or not, just drop the index finger and, voila', a new skill. 👌 show the troops, too. Eric from Texas.

@@bradami1234 I'm not going to tell you either way, but here's what I suggest. My lesson email is in the description. Email me a short video of you playing to a song or a metronome. I don't care what. Let me take a look and at least give you a suggestion of what might be the thing holding you back. In my experience, it is usually a very simple, but very important musical concept (almost always rhythm related) that is holding someone back from being able to play this instrument. The kicker is, you might not even be aware of it. This isn't a "business solicitation." I genuinely think taking a look at your technique might give you some important insight. I remember you commenting about Rob deleo a while back. Obviously this instrument, and great music inspires you. I'd hate to see you just hang it up! All the best!
