Woo hoo just learned my first 4 finger technique!

It was so beautiful. I was on my brand new LTD 4 string messing around, alternating between the 2nd and 4th string. I always wondered to myself how I can alternate between the 1st and 4th. With two fingers alternating between the 2nd and 4th is no problem, but its much harder jumping two strings with two fingers.

So then just outta now where I decided to use my thumb resting on the bottom string and my index finger to hit the bottom string, and I used my 3rd and fourth finger to hit the top. And...in messing around I learned the four finger technique all by myself with no lessons and no video tutorials. It was such an amazing feeling! I just love bass so much...I always discover new things. Rock on!
