Hi, my name is Dalton and we’re going to be going over some technique with your hands. We got uh… picking, we got uh… just regular old finger… finger playing, and popping and slapping.

We’re going to be using this riff. On that one I did finger picking, and uh… it has a smooth sound to it. All the notes kind of blend together and it doesn’t sound too harsh and doesn’t sound too like… put together too well. It has a quality to it that certain bass players want in say a jazzy song or a slow poppy song. It doesn’t have… it’s not too… it’s not in-your-face.

But uh… you just kind of slowly rest your fingers on the strings and uh… you just find where you need to go… like… The second way is to use a pick. It has more of a distinct sound when you hit the strings. If you hit it a little harder, you can hear the tone a little better.

In case you didn’t see the video in part 1 of this series… here it is again
