His technique is really amazing. I can use my index and mid fingers to pluck string just fine, but i can't "Pluck" string so many times. I just know victor use mid finger to pluck G string. Anyone can do this tech ? Or anyone can give my some tips ?

Thanks in advance.

+1


if you look at one of his instructional videos he talks about using two fingers to pop twice in one slap and then you can ignore the slap and just move your hand down fast to do the two pops again.

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).
