I alternate index and middle - and also use 'rest' strokes so that when I'm descending I play with the finger that played on the string above. If that doesn't make any sense check out the video I did on Right Hand Technique. It's one of the series I did called HOW TO PLAY THE BASS VIRTUAL DVD.
I've been playing for years but never really progressed past intermediate. I'm pretty happy where I am because I can express myself well on the bass. I'm actually pretty good at improvising but have never spent any time trying to learn covers if I didn't have to.
Now that I'm older and find it harder to make time for a steady band and enjoy sitting down in front of the computer in youtube and learning covers.

I'm especially interested in the ear training.

I saw you put up a vid for Can't Stand Losing You which is one of my fav Police tunes.
I checked it out saw that it was cool and followed the link, then I signed up for your e zine.
I look forward to seeing what kind of trip you take me on.
One never knows where one is gonna learn something new and cool. Thank you for the free lessons.
