Doesn’t he say he does that already ? perhaps I misunderstood

It was somewhat tongue in cheek

My teacher told me that my automatic choice of leading finger was leading me to swing time. He was 100% right i now lead with my middle finger

I point you to the work of Duck Dunn, watch the two Blues Brothers movies and you can see a groove genius at work - his work is simpler to learn than James Jamersons and more groove than funky imho. before I get flamed, I hugely admire both of them

I’ve never left it, but with your last paragraph you are straying to The Dark Side and I urge you to avoid it like the plague Yoda would be proud, stick to the righteous path of bass, avoid the six string w**kery
