  3. another one from James Taylor. Lee played this same tune two years ago and there are very few differences. it always amazes me how consistent he is with the lines he plays.

  7. I have some already finished but I don't want to overwhelm you so I'll post them little by little. today another from LYLE LOVETT: I'll come knocking. a slow and beautiful ballad easy to read. another one which you can see how delicate can Lee play.

  13. I am catching up as I can with the transcriptions. another Lyle Lovett's one that Leland had played already last year. still surprises me how consistent Lee is with his lines. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n8Yc7gQshKrvqYB24lddjxc1WLKeyK2S/view?usp=drive_link link video: https://youtu.be/_022xqE4nO4
  14. a little bit behind schedule but let's go with the next one from Lyle Lovett score: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oVjaDVMJuT53mJK8BS20BsLJDuNe49wQ/view?usp=drive_link video: https://youtu.be/r6RXD2JZaMw
  15. when practicing right hand technique, I always make my students play everything starting with each one. it is normal to have a preferred one. when I find myself starting all with the same one, I practice the other way around and then the secondary becomes primary and the story goes on and on
  16. I would recommend to strict alternate fingering. if you master that, then to do a rake if needed is easy. the other way around is not so easy
  17. after a long time Leland has played again. wishing a fast recovery to his wife Maureen link a la partitura: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VME7s-kVtyGXd0XXkkJrhSLMDOpveJZX/view?usp=drive_link link al video: https://youtu.be/ItzBaC4BUho
  18. that's is why I never rake. I started my playing doing it and happened to me. then switched to strictly alternating. it was a pain for several months but it was worth it. and you know what? if really needed, I can still do it
  19. I am not really a pick guy, but I use it when needed, sometimes in the middle of the song. I see no big problem in mixing techniques
  20. if your internal clock is ok I will suggest to take some classes with a teacher that can fix your technique, it will be hard to fix that by yourself. you can try a couple of things: if you start always with the same finger on your right hand, try studying in reverse for a while and see what happens try to play in front of a mirror to see if you observe a difference in the plucking with your fingers
  21. at least, that is how I hear it. with these things, different people hear different signatures, but that made a lot of sense for me
  22. This is how I feel it. I hope it helps
  23. try the TUSQ ones, really a different sound
  24. without seeing you, it seems you are using a style of plucking similar to Stanley Clarke's. there are no good or bad techinques. each of them gives different sounds to your palette to choose. I always recommend my students to explore that part of the bass technique. normally people learn some way of plucking and stays there for ever till they die. well, I think they are missing something
  25. it is normal. we are playing a guitar, and guitarists have had much more time in history to find ways to play the instrument we tend to overlook because we want to legitimize the bass guitar as a singular one. of course it has its peculiarities, but we are more close than far from our 6 stringed older brother
