Chienmortbb Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 I have been recording my playing, trying to decide which bass to use on Saturday and I am really noticing that when I fret on the E string, I get a hammer on before playing the note. It puts an emphasis I do not want. Clearly my technique is crap but how can I avoid it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekomatic Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 I guess I would try finding one or more patterns or riffs that demonstrate the problem and practice them slowly and quietly, with a metronome, concentrating on fretting cleanly and with just enough pressure, so you aren’t banging your LH finger down excessively hard. Then gradually increase the tempo and volume. I find it’s easy to use too much force with the fretting hand, and something I need to consciously practice out.
