    This is one of the best bass tutorials I have ever seen in my life. You combine useful practical instruction, clear demonstrations, and deep bass knowledge in a spellbinding way. I feel like you just taught me more about Wooten's thumping and plucking technique than every other instructional video I ever watched combined. This video alone was all I needed to see to Subscribe. Sincerely thank you. 🙏

    I could not agree more with your comment about NOT trying to use the middle finger early on when learning this technique. I fell into that trap back in the day just like you said you did, and ended up eventually giving up entirely on trying to learn the technique because I couldn't work it out. Then, when I started revisiting it again, I took my time and built up the technique gradually. My middle finger still isn't up to the standards I would like it to be, but I am very happy with my index and thumb work.
    Great video!

    I find my playing style most reflects those of Les Claypool and Victor Wooten. I tackled Tommy the Cat early on, about a year after I started playing, and learning the first 20 seconds of U Can't Hold no Groove really helped me encorporate those advanced slap techniques into my own playing. Thanks to those guys, my bass playing is far more advanced than what I would expect after 3 years of playing.

    • @BassFreedom
      @BassFreedom  2 роки тому

      Thank you!! The lower definitely makes it easier..but normal action will sound better! Too high is when you are getting to a point where it's going to be a challenge!
