A bunch of things can interfere with arching. Trimming your nails may help. Bracing your thumb behind the neck instead of wrapping it over the top of the neck can get them standing up taller, though this can introduce too much bend in the wrist, so elevating your guitar by putting your foot on a stool or standing up with a strap can help with that. If your fingers get wobbly, the Caterpillar Exercise can help with strength and coordination too.
Yes but if you miss one of the base string .say you it d.or a .say miss the e string dunt matter as long you keep the count because there all base strings any way ?????
"as long you keep the count" - That's a good point. Staying in rhythm is the most important thing. But when you're alternating bass, you're usually just playing chord tones--alternating between the root and the 5th typically. Or if you're doing a bass run or something more complicated, you're playing a specific sequence of notes. So if you play a string you didn't intend, it does matter.
Great information on positioning the pick.
I've never liked the shredder grip. 👌👌🎸🎸
Yeah, me neither.
Thanks a lot Boss

You mention arching your fingers, I have trouble with this. Any tips?
