This is what it’s all about. Hard work, starting slow to eliminate sloppiness, developing that muscle memory and building speed. Ain’t no shortcuts to this! Thanks for making me a better player Federico!

I've been playing bass for 40 years, The Cure and Siouxsie style, a little slapping (Flea style), but these videos make me realize I still have a lot to learn! I've been practicing for a few days now and I can already hear a difference. I think these are the best practicing videos on UA-cam, thank you!

Proof that if you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly. 😁

[@FedericoMalamanBass]

Yep

[@ronwass]

Excellent tutorial, but would be even better if there were some right hand fingerings. 1,2,1,2, or 2, 1,2,1, etc. WOuld help when we get to the very fast tempos switching strings.

[@FedericoMalamanBass]

Thanks

[@kenny-hu3os]

This might be a bit redundant but have you thought about making the same two octave videos using the E and the D string. I noticed that some of this dexterity transfers over but not entirely.

[@Kickbasser]

Too slow ;p we need 200bpm :D Great lesson as always Federico!

[@FedericoMalamanBass]

Yep :-) lol Thanks!

[@pietrocaltabiano5544]

Federico, sei un fenomeno! Bei video anche, fatti bene ed utili! Grazie.
I have noticed a change in the finger you use in the 5th round, when going for the octave in the 3rd 16 note (rror), apart from the first quarter the rest of the round is with the middle finger on the octave. I wonder if it is on purpose and I should practice that or if instead you think that trying to keep a consistent fingering may be worth practicing, even if a bit uncomfortable. Thank you again.

[@FedericoMalamanBass]

Grazie mille ;-) Praticamente, non c'è una regola vera e propria. Puoi usare la diteggiatura che più ti è comoda :-)

[@daveyerrington3271]

How many of us can do 150bpm on the octo-groove? Is it something most bass players can achieve?

[@FedericoMalamanBass]

:-)

[@andreaottaviani4285]

Ciao Fede, complimenti per la tua attività didattica. Sarebbe davvero il top (a mio modesto avviso) se spiegassi anche come usi la mano dx (...il raking, tanto per intenderci). Grazie mille per queste perle di video gratuite :)

[@FedericoMalamanBass]

Ciao Andrea, grazie mille. In realtà, tento di alternare il più possibile indice e medio. Quando devo andare dalla I corda alla II, se sto suonando con l'indice la I corda, scivolo e suono con l'indice anche la seconda; se sto suonando con il medio la i corda, scivolo e suono con il medio la II corda :-) Tutto qui.

This excersice humbled me, I thought I had a good octave tecnique until I tried this. for now I can only get to a slopy 110, I will be working towards that speed, did you use 3 fingers in the secret speed?

[@FedericoMalamanBass]

Thanks 🙏 No, I use 2 fingers

You should explain your right hand, it looks to me like you are using 3 or 4 fingers not 2. Your right hand looks like a classical guitarist.

Hello 👋 I’m using 2 fingers.
