i agree, ive been playing 8 years with my thumb way up on top the neck and my hands always cramp.
good question…sombody answer dat
Awesome
it a great video
The idea of only the headstock side of the thumb touching is revolutionary for me. This makes it impossible for me to drop the heel of my hand, keeping my fingers in proper position, Only disagreement is that I’ve seen plenty of people say the thumb should be in the middle, along the axis, of the neck. That feels the most comfortable to me, especially since I have long fingers. I think each person can find what’s best for them in that regard.
@Scriptednow I find that the more vertical I can bring my fingers down on the string, almost perpendicular to the fretboard, the better the tone I can achieve without having to press very hard. When done right, it almost looks like the hammer of a piano to me, where the finger actually strikes the string. You’ll need good callouses on your fingertips though.

i have been looking for this type of teaching for hours. FINALLY! thanks so much for posting.
the end was so hard core
Questions for anyone: 6 years ago I crushed my pinkie (left hand) and it was pinned. I had no phys therapy. I still have good range of movement (75%). Now I am playing bass. Can I get away with using 3 fingers on my left hand? Or should i just stop whinning and do it with four?
I have watched three videos of this guy and he didn’t blink once.
Where is right hand technique? :[
@bradh716 … he does not have the time to link lol
Don’t interpret this wrong, but this lesson is useless. The best way to learn bass is to learn progeressively harder lines, until you are able to play Jaco’s grooves, which test your attack, co-ordination and feel to the max. Always use a metronome and practice slowly before going fast. that’s all there is to it.
thanks for your help
I thought it was bad to have the wrist bent? With the thumb real low like that, my wrist bends at an extreme angle.
Now THAT was good info. A little late for me but better late than never! Thanks
I’ve been reading other places that it is bad to have your wrists bent because it leads to carpal tunnel syndrome.
The mouth noises are putting me off…
good one:I
