Firstly, apologies to you lefties out there. It's not fair to call it 'right hand technique' when you use your left hand. Forgive me!
Most of us bass players refer to right hand bass technique to describe the many different ways to attack your bass strings.
This video shows you the main ones:
- Alternate plucking (fingerstyle)
- Rest strokes
- Free strokes
- Palm muting
- Raking
- Slap
- Plectrum
- Chucking
- Strumming
- Hand placement (tone production)
