Summary of This Method
Fully dedicated to pick playing on the bass, this method is aimed at both beginners and advanced bassists who want to improve precision, articulation, and endurance, especially at high tempos. You start with the essential basics: how to hold the pick effectively, and especially how to position the hand holding it to achieve a clean, stable, and consistent sound across strings. The first "technical" exercises on open strings help establish solid habits (attack, consistency, synchronization), before moving into more musical work through arpeggios, scales, and groove lines.
The method then explores in detail the fundamentals of the right hand, with alternate picking and rhythmic subdivision, to build a reliable timing and controlled attack. The content goes further by combining these skills with essential left-hand techniques in modern bass language: ghost notes for rhythmic texture, hammer-ons and pull-offs for fluidity and phrasing. All of this is applied through numerous examples and grooves, in various styles, both duple and triple meter, to work on both pure technique and groove sense.
The included disc enhances the learning experience: the videos (mp4) show all exercises and examples visually to address posture, attack, and coordination challenges, while the audio files (mp3) provide the corresponding playbacks. Ideal for practicing "in context," testing your timing, and developing lasting rhythmic discipline.
