Octaves are one of the cornerstones of bass playing. In this session, George Urbaszek of www.creativebasslessons.com shows you techniques and gives you tips on how to integrate octaves into your bass lines.
Techniques include smears and scalar fills, plus exercises for right and left hand co-ordination.
The Disco-style backing track was made with Band-in-a-Box from www.pgmusic.com
You can even play along with the backing track.
Enjoy!

is it better to use the left hand with the index and the ring finger, or with the index and the little finger?

Using the index and little finger (as I do in this video) keeps the hand relaxed without any stretches and strains. When using the index and ring finger there is usually a strain at the root of the little finger. This could lead to RSI, especially when using the same shape repetitively such as playing octaves. My policy is to not stretch if you don't have to. I hope this answer helps :)
