    These are the first exercices for a method I am currently developing. The point here is to tap the CLAVE with your foot and play the notes with your bass. These seem pretty basic, but don't be fooled. Never go for the next one until you feel really comfortable playing the exercise you are working and can feel naturally all the beats of the two bars. specially the downbeats

    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.

    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.

    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

    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
  17. bassalbert
    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

    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
  19. bassalbert
    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
  20. bassalbert
    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
  21. bassalbert
    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
  22. bassalbert
    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
  23. bassalbert
    This is how I feel it. I hope it helps
  24. bassalbert
    try the TUSQ ones, really a different sound
  25. bassalbert
    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
