Wow, thanks for these lessons. I'd about all but give up on trying to get this technique down. I appreciate your lesson! Thanks! Greetings from Chicago, Lisa Gee

Mr. Vitti,why do you always have your thumb bandaged? If I did that, I wouldn't have the callous necessary to play the bass with my thumb with any regularity.

hi anthony (yeah.. its me again ;))

it's again a great lesson, i've been working on mij technique, and that isn't the problem anymore.

When I want to put the technique into new riffs I can't get them right.

So what scales or notes do you combine to get that real funk?

Very nice Tone, it would be nice to know also what are your sound settings...

Thanks for the lesson.

Doton,

That's just my 1969 Jazz Bass. It's direct into my laptop, without any EQ. I turn the volumes up all the way.

@JBass69 Wow, no compression at all? Sounds great! Can't get my fender to sound like that unless my strings are 5 seconds old ;)
