Some cool techniques you might enjoy trying out

[stonecoldbass]

Hey guys and gals,
Just uploaded a coupla videos featuring some techniques I've been working on recently. The first is a technique I picked up off someone who studied with Kai Eckhardt for a bit, it looks complicated but once you get it under your fingers it makes sense.


The second is a technique I came up with to 'sweep' some basic arpeggios on the bass, note the right hand technique:


Feel free to ask me any questions about these videos. It should be noted that I only use this kinda stuff maybe 1% of the time on gigs!!!

Hope you like em,
craig

Cool vids, thanks a lot. I tried to embed them but failed miserably - the links you provided work great anyway.

Cheers

I'd just like to say thanks for the clips, and I'll be implementing both these techniques in my practice tonight.

No worries mate, hopefully you can find more use for them than I have!
