Sorry..noob? I may have only been playing for 6-7 months, but I already got down Sir Duke, Phantom of the opera (at 220bpm), most of Abba's greatest hits, please don't insult me. Its nothing to do with position in relation to the bridge or neck, or pickup, from all the other replies, its...

Why not?

Pinky!!! Only ever used that for rasgueado strumming or anchoring for hand stability. Mines way too weak for plucking.

Mate, gotta say, those muscles towards the joint of your knuckles are impressive! My weak, princess guitarist fingers fail in comparison haha!

Ah man, palm muting on the bass isn't easy!

haha, to a classical guitarist, that is very triggering ;) . It looks like your callous on your middle finger is slightly pointer than the other two, do you find a different sound compared to the others? Good call, cause im still new, im just using alternate 1,2 1,2 at the moment, I tend to use...

im finding it hard to get 'oomph' without a bit of nail though, I mean, it sounds nice and mellow, but feels I have to really 'dig in' to get some quack if you get me? Mate, sorry to hear about your finger, life is just **** sometimes isn't it! Appreciate the input, I know what your saying...

Ah man, sounds like something we just gotta deal with then, a quirk if you will! That's ok, I like a challenge ;) 100%, same with classical or finger stye on acoustic, the 'ring finger' I incorrectly stated doesn't have much accent on these either, all the power and oomph is with the first and...

Thanks for responses. My Apologies, I didn't mean ring finger, I mean the first finger! oops. So yeah, first finger, and middle finger, make it simple ;)

Hey all, Just joined forum. Hoping I could get some advice. Started learning bass 6 months ago, not brand new as I have been a guitarist for 17 years, including classical, so haven't had to much trouble transitioning right hand technique using rest strokes. Haven't played properly for a few...
