THE #1 TECHNIQUE KILLER FOR BASS PLAYERS
Рет қаралды 403,039
6 жыл бұрынThere are many technique issues that can crop up from bass player to bass player - but there is one overriding bad habit that I call a "technique killer"...
As in, if you do this one thing it'll be almost impossible for you to move around the fingerboard with any dexterity or speed at all.
It'll be like driving with the brakes on.
In this lesson you're going to find out exactly what it is. You're going to see clips of Pino Palladino, Victor Wooten, Robert Truijio and Jaco Pastorious (and I'll be highlighting how they're not making this common mistake)...
Then, I'm going to show you how to fix it!
You ready?
As always, see you in the shed...
- Scott

As a rank beginner, this was a hugely valuable lesson. I also noticed that when the wrist is up, pure anatomy means that the spread between your pinky and index finger is reduced by about 50%. This wrist angle should be the first thing taught to bass players, because playing the bass is nearly impossible otherwise.

Think what Scott means is NOT to have the wrist UP or in other words, the palm bent back too much-which would be the case when your thumb is hooked around the neck and visible on the fingerboard. I think he's recommending the classical guitar position which might be problematic if you tried it with the bass slung low down to your crotch. if that's the way you wear the guitar, then there will be too severe a curve on the wrist and you'd be safer hooking the thumb around. Again classical guitar technique recommends adjusting the strap so the guitar is the same position standing as sitting. The airspace behind the thumb is the clue that you'll be able to stretch your hand easily across the frets. At any rate - it's good to stop playing if feeling strain or tension -shake the hand out and try resuming later keeping everything relaxed.

I think i have to thank YOU for this. When i was new at bass, i didn't go to any bass lessons. Instead i was watching one of your videos and in one of your videos you said: "One thing you should note is your thumb. Your thumb is very important. Instead of having it touch the neck entirely, you should make sure it's aligned with the rest of your fingers." Ever since i did that i found so much ease in trying to play even though i was only a beginner. If it wasn't for that video of yours, i would be suffering from this technique killer...

I'll chime in and concur with the fellow guitarists who are learning bass - thumb over the top of the neck is great for grabbing the bass notes on a bar chord but as Scott points out terrible for fluid bass lines. I just took a weekend long workshop with Hot Tuna bassist Jack Casady. The *very first* thing he spotted and coached me on was opening up my fretting hand. My thumb wasn't over the top of the neck, but I sure was gripping my bass the way I grip my Tele. Amazing difference when I got that wrist below the neck.
@joellebrodeur1015 5 жыл бұрын
It's hard to switch between the two considering I'm playing guitar for over 25 years and recently picked up bass. I use my thumb for muting the low E on guitar. I am not used to the hold he ia showing. I have small hands with short fingers, so I'm lucky I can play at all.

It's a Fender Custom Shop bass. You can tell because of the V logo on the back of the headstock. It's visible at 3:34. At least in the case of strats, matching color headstocks were common in the 1960's models, I think. Maybe only for the custom colors (i.e. those out of fenders reduced standard color selection). And yeah, it's a beautiful instrument.

Extremely helpful tip, Scott. I have been working on a rather fast and fluid triplet piece and really not hitting it right. I had a hard time moving up and down the fret board. I started really looking at my left hand after watching this video and saw I had a tendency to close my hand on the neck, especially as I moved down the the neck. While I still have some bend, it was not enough. I started to really focusing my wrist down and trying to keep it there. After working for about 15 minutes doing that, I had an incredible amount of improvement in my speed and sound. I was more accurate with my fingering. I was amazed at how much just focusing on that wrist position made. I am definitely going to continue getting thia into muscle memory, but wanted you to know how much this really helped my playing. THANKS, and keep up the great work.

THANK YOU. i had countless guitar teachers throughout my life tell me i should wrap my thumb around the neck (especially on classical guitar. idk if thats because the neck and frets are smaller? or chords?) i always felt more comfortable pirching on the thumb like you are showing. It puts more strain on your wrist and hand to play this way, but i feel like without the extra effort, you just cant fly. at the end of the day though, victor wooten said it best "dont look at what im doing and try to emulate that... play how you feel and see how YOU play and how YOU feel"

Have to disagree somewhat on this one. I personally tend to rotate my wrist position depending on where I am on the fretboard. When playing on the low string my wrist tends to be in the position you explain but as I get to the higher strings my wrist tends to rotate and my thumb starts to wrap. This feels natural and is just the way it works best for me. It also varies depending on how high I am up on the neck. I definitely would not try to keep my wrist in the same position all the time. Wrist position should come naturally and will develop over time.

the number one technique killer is really fingers only bass players, look at all the metal and rock bass players who cant lay down a clean isolated track, no ability to mute or control the notes, playing it like its a fucking upright is retarded. Leo fender designed the electric bass to played more like a guitar than an upright. Ive seen countless fingers only players who sounded outright horrible!!!!!! They use that fingers only technique or lack there of to look cool...… Now look at victor play, but look at tina warmouth, or carol kaye, or paul mcartney , those are solid normal bass players which is beyond 90percent of working bass players ability. Your right hand position is a after thought at best, and the fact that you think that is a big issue shows how out of touch with whats really goin on in bass world. Go to some jam nights, see some local bands play, then you will see the average bass player has way bigger issues then neck hand position...….

your right hand wrist position is irrelevant, when you cant play more than two or three notes without getting fret buzz , blaring inconsistent dynamics...…… Seriously this guy is not a good teacher. He never teaches much that would apply to a normal working band. Ive taught and coached bass players, and a couple went on to be amazing players. Focus on real world techniques dude. Like being able to play a straight eight note bass line, with no pick scrapes, fret noise, inconsistent dynamics or nonsensical blares. This is real world shit, What this channel is about is mostly bs , that dosent apply to 99 percent of players in the business. Teach basic muting techniques, teach them to be solid players.

If I tilt the neck upwards, pointing it more towards the ceiling, like a cello, I can have a straighter wrist and good grip while still having the thumb behind the neck. Better than horizontal. Pointing the neck down would be more like playing the violin, much more angle and strain. I think the point of the straighter wrist is less bend, less friction and stress in the tunnel the tendons go through. Some instruments have the head further away when hanging from the strap. That leads to more wrist bend in the lower part of the neck. If I extend my wrist (bending it back towards the knuckles) there's also lost reach and dexterity, especially in the pinky. If I flex my wrist towards the forearm and form a fist, grip is very weak. Muscles (f ex finger bending muscles) are weaker when fully contracted or stretched. AIUI, in physiotherapist lingo there is active insufficiency at full flexion and passive insufficiency at full extension in multi-joint muscles. Aside: I play with a little pull on the fretting hand, towards the elbow, while the right hand and forearm presses the instrument against me. This allows for less less tension in the fretting hand. Do you people do that? Hard to do if you play low slung bass around knee height.

My only gripe is when I play with the wrist straight down for an extended period of time (especially down on the lower frets), that angle really makes my wrist sore- especially after finishing up a 4 hour gig.
