I think this is fake. In one of the opening parts that goes 123 123 1 2, 123 123 1 2, that "123" part should clearly take up 4 frets - she rarely moves her hand over more than 3 for the whole song. Maybe I'm missing something?

...but I have a problem. I don't know any latin music. The reason I'd like to play this style is that I've been hearing some really cool latin beats with some groovalicious bass lines under them. I'd like help in two areas: 1.) What are some good artists I should listen to? 2.) What are...

Both of my thumbs (and all of my first and third joints on my fingers) are heavily double jointed. I've never found it an issue. Are you naturally left handed? I found slapping to be difficult because I'm using my non-dominant hand to do so. Now it's not so bad after practice.

My bass tone sounds AWESOME when I'm on drugs. Oh wait...

Exactly! This technique just feels really awkward until you can get a circular motion going. But I got it down really fast. I remember discovering it one night in my dorm room last year, getting all excited and showing my musician friends (who were also impressed and a couple learned it), and...

Also, if one ever needs to play triplets at blinding speed, a good M I (BI), M I (BI), M I (BI) technique works best. (BI) = back of the index finger. I find it best to actually pull this off with a sharp downward thrust of my index finger. You pull it up for the 2nd pluck and stab is...

You're right the attack IS different when using your nails. But I never said you had to do that. I use my nails when I want a harsher sound but the technique works equally well (with practice) using the very tips of your fingers. Just keep your nails short. Also, I STRONGLY disagree with you...

I guess I'll be a dissenting voice here. (I posted this in a different thread a couple of days back) There really isn't a reason to play with 3 fingers for even the fastest basslines. Once you learn how to use two fingers properly, you can *technically* play twice as fast as any pick...

There really isn't a reason to play with 3 fingers for even the fastest basslines. Once you learn how to use two fingers properly, you can *technically* play twice as fast as any pick player, even. A pick is a single surface that strikes the string on both sides. Your fingers are two surfaces...

Technically speaking, that's a canter not a gallop.

Wow sounds like a great reason to cheat! *sarcasm*

Does anyone here have any respect for closed relationships? Seriously, I'd have told her I was taken, too. No need to be ashamed.

I love Rammstein, but I think they make piss-poor music. They aren't really musicians so much as they are entertainers. If you don't their music cool - plenty of rammstein fans don't. I love how they don't take themselves or their music even remotely seriously. They're having fun and...

The uncensored version is out there too... Be warned, it's not even remotely work safe. In fact, it's straight up hardcore porn.
