For years I've been wandering how to master the double-thumb technique. I never "grab" it, never got how to make it work from the mechanic point of view, how to set up my thumb, how to pop the string without scraping the nail away. With this video, I swear, it took me 3 seconds to make it. Thank you Ian and Scott.

Unfortunately, Rutger Gunnarsson passed away a few years ago. Great player and a driving force behind a large part of ABBA’s sound. He did a few of the arrangements as well. I grew up with ABBA and just love his bass lines.

09:12 This is easier than you think. He's correct: start with ONE NOTE to get the thumb motion and find the groove. (Maybe start with quarter or eighth notes instead of 16s.) Then add a note on the same string. Then and a note on a string above or below. Now you're moving it around and you didn't even know it. (Now you've got it.)

I am currently on this course in SBL, I am absolutely inspired in his track with Joey Verskotzi - Blind. The massive tone and the sub bass. You cats who are not yet SBL members, youre missing so much. Edit: I also got a lot of vocabulary from this guy. Here in KZfaq, they show the tabs but in the SBL course, its on a music sheet, which is way better than tabs.

I ended up gravitating towards something more resembling Alain Caron's variation of the double thumb, which commits more of a slap in pop out mechanic, compared to Victor Wooten's slap down pop up. The difference is the plane of motion. The AC approach would move into then out away from the fingerboard, and to what greater or lesser degree being in between perpendicular and oblique to the fingerboard and resting on the fingerboard at the inward motion. The VW approach would more or less move parallel to the finger board or strings, resting on what string is below at the downward motion.
