6 Best Bass Techniques - The ways i play bass - Andriy vasylenko

You can see on my videos from another channel that I play by fingers mostly And my prevailing bass technique is 2-finger In my previous video I explained why 2-finger apoyando made me better player, watch it Most of music is built on rhythms divisible by 2: 4/4, 6/8... So when you're playing by 2 fingers, your brain's not getting lost It tries to hold the rhythm, because 2 (fingers) is divisible by 2 That's 4/4.And here's 3/4 (or 6/8) So it's also convenient to play rhythms divisible by 3 this way, then just accents changes between fingers Muting strings is better with apoyando Most of metal could be played by 2 fingers. Straight doubling of guitar is not obligatory What Cliff did in the case of guitar playing tremolo – he mixed 8th and gallops 'Fight Fire With Fire', for example So that's his solution. 'Whiplash', over tremolo You don't have to mindlessly double guitar. The mission of bassist is to keep a groove, be a go-between drums and guitars 3-finger technique. I use it too, but for fast gallops mostly Slow gallops I play by 2 fingers for more control Plus 3 fingers for fast triplet tremolo So it applies in addition to 2-finger technique Arpegio tirando I like to perform arpegio by 3 fingers Robert Trujillo plays 'My Friend of Misery' by one finger And here's a piece from 'Anesthesia' You can play fast arpegio this way like flamenco I like playing chords. Some bassists play them to enhance guitars I play chords by strumming, another favorite technique I do it by 2 fingers pressed together for more solidity I'm fond of playing harmonics. There're a lot of kinds of them - natural... Natural harmonics get by touching a string over some fret in the moment you play You'd be told that there're natural harmonics on determined frets only like 5, 7, 12 Actually, they are over all fretboard. For instance, there're 2 harmonics on 4th fret, and 3 over 3rd Dimebag used that often I get artificial harmonics by tweaking You can get plenty of different pitches harmonics holding only one fret Practicing you learn where they're hiding. Here's an octave I performed artificial harmonics a lot in my early videos 'Guitar solos on bass' As well as natural ones The last bass technique I'd like to mention is tapping But I can't play it in usual way because of nails They don't let me hold the ankle needed to tap properly So I (let's call it forced tapping) press middle finger on index one to get the vector That's a combination of arpegio and tapping So I can't play two-hand tapping fully because of nails About slap. I suck at slap Maybe I'll learn it in future, but now my priority is picking I desire to play whole Metallica, and Jason used a pick. So I'm learning this technique If you want to see slap, there's a lot of channels about it My niche is classic finger-style I have the intention to make a video about very bass technique mentioned Write in comments questions you have, I'll try to help you Expect new videos on my channels, join our AVanguard
