iconic Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I've been trying to noodle along to hot water and found it very hard, its a very busy line, then I saw a video of mark king....and glen dyver, both using their thumb to fret the A and G notes on the E string, it does make it easier, feels strange and my finger muscle memory needs fighting! So is this quite a common technique with regards slap bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
