Bass Technique Breakdown: Speed, Accuracy & Power!

Get ready to boost your technique with this bass guitar tutorial. The exercise is a 1/16th note funk workout that will improve your:

  • alternate plucking
  • fast and smooth hand shifts
  • speed
  • coordination
  • accuracy
  • strength
  • stamina
  • timing

Along the way I'll show you plenty of tips and tricks as well as how to slow this right down and play it even if your technique is not so great (yet...).
