just keep your entire hand loose, and let the power come from you twisting your forearm. keep your hand lined up with your wrist and forearm and that is pretty much the technique. As for accuracy...that is just going to have to come over time. Practicing slapping all the strings, even up to G...

^When I used to be addicted to cigarettes, I realized this was my addiction. Even when using nicotine patches while trying to quit, I realized it's more of the physical act that can be more addictive to some people. Honestly, what really helped me quit, was accelerating my cannabis habit. Not...
