    I recently discovered your channel (NOT via the Algorithm, surprisingly, but from a friend) and I am struck by 2 things: 1. Your fretting hand looks so relaxed, and 2. You don't use 1 finger per fret (and therefore shift your hand a lot). I need both these skills. Perhaps you can give us a video on this topic? I have been playing for 8 years and learned everything I know from RUclips bass teachers. 1 finger per fret is the standard, as is playing in "position" with minimal shifting. It's been great for me in that I could assign notes to specific fingers ("set it and forget it"), and not worry about missing a note if I mis-shift. But the hand stretch leaves me achy, and I think shifting your hand adds a mental flexibility that I lack.

    • @RyanMadoraMusic
      @RyanMadoraMusic День назад

      I'll definitely do a video on different fretting hand techniques! Long story short, the Four Fret Span is great, very valuable, and definitely the way to play *certain things.* Not everything is best played that way, so using a different approach is often better for musicality and hand health.

    FYI I'd highly recommend picking up a copy of Ryan's book Bass Players to Know. The best way to enjoy it is along with the Spotify playlist, and for me that means picking up my bass and trying to play along with the songs, so each chapter becomes a bass lesson as well. As I visited the US a few weeks ago I decided to get an autographed copy sent to me. The inscription and note included are kind and authentic. Great way to support this channel. Thank you Ryan!
