    This should be titled 'Improve Your Fretting Hand Technique With This Simple Tip (Beginners Bass Guitar AND for those who've played for years but have never seen a video re Joint Barring)
    This made me think & within moments it'd dawned on me why sometimes I play better than other times. Cheers!! 👍😊

    Tnx for the video. As a beginner I thought playing two frets across two different strings with one finger was a wrong approach. And I always wondered how to get that smooth legato. Now I know. ;)
    Tnx Mark!!

    i learned this surprisingly late. no one bothered to show me. the first time i saw it addressed was, ironically enough, in one of eric haugen's vids where he played bass for a change and joint barring and its importance was literally the first thing he mentioned.

  • @mrbungle7586
    @mrbungle7586 4 года назад

    Good helpful lesson, especially for beginners to intermediate. I learnt to do this from just experimenting when I started playing so I could get the legato sound Mark mentions. Sometimes I use the pinky and ring finger etc depending on what I'm playing which I'm sure I've seen Mark cover in other lessons. Cheers

      @hans-joachimbierwirth4727 4 года назад +2

      Just don't use it. Needing the thumb on the fretting hand is always caused by too much pressure used for fretting. You learn the exact amount of pressure by keeping the thumb away from the neck. Practice for a while differently using a playlist of easy songs doing playalongs until you don't need the thumb anymore.
