Getting a good fretting hand technique on the bass can be a real struggle. Many of us started playing without having someone to show us the correct way of doing things - we simply picked up the bass, cranked up the radio and started grooving the best we could, and learned along the way.

Now don't get me wrong - there is absolutely nothing wrong with this way of learning... in fact that's exactly how I did it! Unfortunately the problems start arising when you begin to pick up bad habits within your technique - but because you've got no one to point you in the right direction, you don't even realise that you're engraining these bad habits within your playing, this then leads to engraining these habits for years, and years... and years!

Sound familiar?

Well, don't panic - it happened to me... and all bad habits are fixable!

So first of all, we need to realise that technique changes are tough and take time! Plus, the longer you've been playing the harder it can be to change your technique. We have programmed our brain to send out very specific signals for very specific movements - and now we're going to try and change those signals. Unfortunately these signals are controlled by a part of the brain that our conscious self has little control over - i.e. it's almost got a mind of it's own! If you want to know more about this, then watch this video where I go into this in more detail.

Anyway, let's get on to the lesson!...

Bad fretting hand technique can have a HUGE effect on your overall ability to move around the fretboard with ease. Get a few things wrong and your fingers will feel like they're locked together making it almost impossible to use each of the fingers independently.

In this lesson I'm going to show you 2 great tips that will really help open up your fretting hand and give you the movement you're going to need to play freely around the bass neck.

As always... see you in the shed!
