When he said his middle finger was bad and that his pinky was the best i thought he was trolling, i legit thought everyone has their ring and pinky finger move together like mine😂

Hope it's useful! I have limited space for 1-2-1 Lessons here calendly.com/tom-w9a/one-hour-bass-lesson One really important thing with thumb position on the fretting hand, as it is the main cause for injuries. You can keep it somewhere around where the middle finger or index finger is, but make sure that is comfortable and not causing you any pain.

I’ve just started learning bass a few weeks ago. This was very helpful as getting my left hand to do anything is a pain. Middle finger is a little tight but my pinky was the worst. Will be using this exercise a lot!

My ring finger seems to be the one that is the weakest, and the hardest to control. I’ve been doing the scale walking exercises by alternating my fingering position ie. 1-2-3-4 to 1-3-4-2 etc. to try strengthening my fingers. Do you think this’ a helpful exercise to do? I just came across your channel. Thanks for your tutorial video. 👍🏾

Hi Tom, thanks for the lesson. I was wondering what kind of Fender bass are you planning in this video?

Is there any way I can compensate for my torn tendon on my pinky finger? I still want to learn but I just don’t have a lot of pressure. I won’t give up, enjoy your videos

when I started playing the bass, I taped my middle finger with the index finger (making them "one", sort of), in order to practice my ring finger to work properly...so with all honesty, I can play this reverse spider walk with decent speed.
