[@kaymguitar]

Do you have any tips for right hand technique? Also lovely cover btw! ❤

[@ryejams]

thank you :)!! for right hand i don't really do anything special, just make sure to alternate fingers when plucking and don't strain your wrist!! it mostly comes down to preference (most people don't play as close as i do to the neck on j basses)- basically just figure out what tone you like and what feels more natural to you :)!

[@joanna-a]

Hi!! I was just wondering, what bass and amp is this? And how do you get this tone? Is it just plugged into an amp? What settings are there? I absolutely love your channel!!❤

[@ryejams]

hi!! so i actually plug my bass in through an interface (focusrite scarlett) and have the knobs at a setting where they just sound good to me, but I don't mess with them much tbh!! for this cover i also ran my sound through a pedal effect on logic (but i generally don't do that)!! hope this helped :)!!

[@joanna-a]

@@ryejams hi!! Tysm!!!! What bass is this?And what is logic? (I’m so sorry lol)

[@ryejams]

@@joanna-a no problem at all! the bass is a squier affinity jazz bass and logic is a DAW (digital audio workstation) which I use to record the audio from my bass!! it's similar to audacity which is a good alternative, haven't tried it myself but i've heard good things abt it too :)!

[@joanna-a]

@@ryejams thank you so much!!!!
