    This is garbage. Learn triads. All this teaches you is how bad carpal tunnel can feel. There is no need to play bass with your ring finger like this. It should be 1244 anyway.

    This is also called “permutations”. I’m learning the bass right now, but the as somebody who looks up to Rocco Prestia from Tower of Power and Jospeh Scott who played with Curtis Mayfield, for overhand players, these exercises are necessary to play cross patterns and to improvise.

    I wanted to cut my pinky off for years but it’s o.k., just practice, it WILL get better. It’s still a pain in the ass for me sometimes but I can do alot more with it. Just play, til it hurts.
