Very good! I think all guitar players(eletric, acoustic and classic) should pay more atention to that bass techinique. Players like Frank Gambale, Mikael Akerfedt from Opeth, Paul Masvidal, Petrucci and others Fusion players do it very good. It sounds like you have a band with you. Very good to write music without needing to play piano

Does anyone know where I can find the exact Lyric and chord for this song?

[KingCatWolf]

Does anyone know where I can find another guitar lesson on this kinda playing? I looked every but I'm not sure what to type in on the Search Bar

i can play the bassline, i can play the melody but i can't play it together. it's so hard

[bluesgurugod]

@sourcehacker actually it's much better to rest your palm on the strings - it helps keep the bass from overpowering the melody.

6:28+ so true, i experienced it myself.

[dnielgeo]

the secret is keep practising, do not idle, and in time you'll notice muting gradually disappears...

Actually you should play with two (+thumb) fingers, but!... if it's better for you to use all fingers i think you can.

(btw sorry for my english, it's too long sentence :)))
