I was watching some vids of Paul Turner and check out his technique:

Right and left hand, and very good economy of motion. He has such good left hand technique.

Please feel free to comment on his technique and I'd love to get an analysis of it.

Can you post which vids you were viewing? That would help.

This one?

I love watching Paul Turner play. Always more sounds and tones coming out of his basses than it looks like there should be. And you rarely see him stretch.

It is his smooth approach that I really like. Since I first saw him I put a great deal of work into less finger movement and getting away from a single thumb anchor and closer to pure floating technique. I rarely ever plant my thumb anywhere now. Great and inspiring player even if my wife does make fun of me listening to that band

Jamiroquai is one of the few bands I can even stand to listen to anymore. Besides Gang of Four. And Sabbath. And sometimes Beck. Anyway, driving in the car the other day, listening to Jamiroquai, and my wife says, "Damn, they hire some really good drummers, huh?"

Yes, you're right. He uses floating thumb a lot. Still trying to find that Abbey Rd version of Runaway.. Love his tone on that recording.
