| A lot of his speedier things stem from his technique of slaping down with his thumb, followed by an upstroke of the thumb, then two successive pops from the index then the middle finger making 4 quick attacks in 1 swift motion. In some of his videos he talks about practicing these 4 attacks on seperate strings to start out with but eventually move to doing all 4 attacks on one string. Then start running scales using these 4 attacks. Eventually you should be able to play phrasings using these attacks with as much ease as you can finger style. I'll see if I can find a video on the internet of the specific lesson I saw (it was on the bass day '98 DVD).
