  • When you play bass, you dont really "pluck" the strings. I find it easiest to rest the tip of my thumb on the top of a pickup (this sort of helps to give you a sense of where your hand is so you dont lose track of which string you're playing) and use your pointer and second finger to play. Rest your playing finger on the string you want to play then sort of strum that finger up towards yourself and let it hit and rest on the next string.. Hard to explain but I hope this helps

  • @roelcortez100 haha. Turn it up? Unmute? I hear it aight....

  • Can not hear bass

  • damn this is fucken amazing, it's a good thing there aren't completely incompetent people on youtube...

  • what guitar this guy is using ?

    awful teaching btw

  • good job

  • It would be nice if he at least said the order of the frets he was playing. You can't see his picking hand.

  • you need to learn the pentatonic scale on a regular guitar first

  • stop sliding up the neck randomly

  • @Nathanb6424 it does show you how to do it, if you already know the pentatonic scale. learn that first then you can learn the trickle down. really its just playing a scale backwards with filler. its not too hard. really easy in fact

  • these videos need to SHOW you how to do them than just PLAY the damm thing showing off :(
