Bass lesson: 3 finger right hand technique/groove

[88Sublime96]

This technique is good in general to know right? Like I'm interested in reggae songs and ska and what not, so will this technique still prove handy?

@88Sublime96 yes! any technique can be used for whatever style you wish to play. 3 fingers will add my fluency to those fast-paced walking basslines! :)

@tonymcg4 Okay, cool. Thanks for the feedback. :D

You can pretty use it for a lot of classic rock songs (The Who - although Entwhistle used 4 fingers!) Billy Sheehan songs are another good example.

As far as PM with the thumb, the only bass player I've seen/like (there are more) is Sting - unfortunately he doesn't use the 3 finger technique as far as I know...

Heya Tony! Can you name a few songs that are particularly handy for practicing this technique? Something that also involves moving from string to string and muting (with thumb)

Thx for the lesson!
