This is the way I naturally found my way with bass. Coming from a background playing guitar, it came much more easily to me to play with a more “thumb heavy” right hand. I was getting a bit conscious that I wasnt playing in the traditional way, so this vid is very relieving!!

Rich! You are THE MAN! JUST yesterday I was having a conversation with my guitar instructor ( "you are my bass instructor :-D" ) about learning finger style plucking for the guitar because I lose the "physical connection" when I use a pick to play the guitar. And then today I stumble across this video where your form and technique very much resembles the "Travis Finger Plucking" style used to play the guitar. You may have just opened the portal door to a new universe for me! Thank you so much!

Good Morning : I am learning to Pick Bass and its all new to me but really loving it. I got a New Bass last Friday and hadn't played for many many years. So I've been watching you play with your Thumb & Fingers and you make it look so easy but I was amazed at hard it really is but after a few days now. Starting to pick some of it up. Love you videos and a big help. If there is anything or advice you have about playing like this. Let me know. Its appreciated. Your site is one of my very favorites. Thanks Terry :)

I learned to play acoustic guitar first, then when I started learning base I found out this technique came so naturally for me, and I always felt I was doing something wrong.

Very progressive use of the plucking hand, a style i was unaware of until viewing this video therefore that i have already integrated into my own playing style. Like with the plectrum i am not such a fan of the tone it generates. It is, however a style that should be added to the bassist style and repertoire as one shouldn't limit themselves to basic finger picking and percussive slapping which seems to be omnipresent. Well done on another very informative and educational video. Keep up your excellent work

This is what I use more or less exclusively, I have a lot of trouble just doing finger walking, so when I can play the bottom string with my thumb and use my other three for the top three strings I can assign one per. Way more comfortable

I only started playing the bass a couple of months ago and prety much imediatly this felt more logic and natural for me to play using 2 or 3 fingers combined with my thumb. Especially when shifting to a lower string or when alternating between octaves. The thumb is already there. Why not use it.

I always rest my thumb and pluck the E string with it, the other strings i pluck with my index, middle, and ring finger. Is this okay?
