Hopefully this post won’t be too controversial! I wanted to share some thoughts on right hand technique, or should I say frethand technique – I don’t want to be handist about it, I am a lefty even if I don’t play as one!

A quiet couple of days on the blog, due to a couple of VERY busy days off the blog – some of which will become apparent very shortly. There are still a few hours left (as I post this) to enter the Upton Bass pick up competition, before we roll into December.

www.mutantbass.com has produced this rather fantastic introduction to frethand leading… Mind bending and a brilliantly produced video too…

This post was kicked off by Simon Little‘s comments on “Bass Guitar Scale Length – Stretching Too Far?” (do check out his blog). Talking about extended scale lengths, then comparing and contrasting upright and electric bass technique, got me thinking about the subject of injuries, stretches, strains and pains.
