Here is my absolute favorite tool as a bass player. PALM MUTING!
It is a very simple way to control the tone and dynamics of your playing. I starting doing it when I was younger and over the years I have obsessed over how I can deepen my capabilities with this technique.
I wanted to cover as much ground as I could on this particular topic. We start with the technique and approach to anchoring your hand to the bridge. Then we dive into the concept of using your hands like a compressor and noise gate. From there we dive into a couple of chromatic walkup exercises to help build strength in your thumb.
Then we hit dynamics control, real life application and my favorite - the muted slap.
I know most bass players use this technique but I will admit I don't hear it talked about and explored as much as it deserves - that is why I'm calling it my secret weapon.
As a recording bass player and live bassist, this tool is a must use on a daily basis.
Let me know your thoughts, I hope this helps you find something new to experiment with and most importantly, have fun with.
And I can't thank you all enough for viewing the channel - it really means a lot. The recent subscribers and comments have made me super motivated to explore more topics - thanks to everyone for checking out my videos!
I hope you have a great week.
