Right Hand Technique

Right hand technique is very important for and bassist but many struggle with speed and precision especially with the D and G string but its ok we all have issues there. next we need to find a solution with a few exercises. make sure you have a solid point to keep you thumb on the bass such as on the pick ups or on your E string just find a consistent spot to keep your thumb

the first exercise is to make sure you alternate your two fingers. Start by muting the strings with your left hand and alternating your fingers play the E A D and G up and down with a metronome. Then after you have that down, begin to switch it up by playing the E then the D the A then the G. mixing it up will be more realistic because when you play songs you don't just go up and down the strings.

another good exercise is to play only on the D and G string to strengthen your hand. Start by playing on the D string 5th fret then the 7th and do the same on G and back down. and just repeat that over and over till you got it.
