#93 - 3 Basslines That Fixed My Fingerstyle Technique (Patreon)

My fellow bassists!

The winner of this month's poll was fingerstyle technique, so here's your fingerstyle technique lesson!

Many of you are already familiar with basic fingerstyle technique (if not, watch this video) and so I decided that the best way to help you refine your technique is to show you three famous bass lines that helped me out a lot, and extract the lessons we can take from each one.

In this lesson you'll learn how to play fast octaves, a gallop bass line, how to build fingerstyle speed and stamina as well as how to use note lengths to build anticipation.

Once you've watched this video, head over to video #93.1 so you can practise a 5-minute fingerstyle workout I designed that uses elements of all of these bass lines for your convenience. As always, remember the golden rule of bass technique while you practise: economy of motion!

Thanks so much for coming here and practising with me, have a great weekend and I'll see you in the next lesson!
