Finger Speed
« on: October 15, 2005, 01:52:47 AM »
I posted this in the guitar room but I know it will help with bass too.
Here is some stuff I got offline long ago hope it helps someone.
SETTING UP THE CHART

Make this chart that you will practice from each day. First,
write the permutations of 1234 down the left side of a piece of paper.

1234
1243
1324
1342
1423
1432

2134
2143
2314
2341
2413
2431

3124
3142
3214
3241
3412
3421

4123
4132
4213
4231
4312
4321

Write SABCD across the top. These are titles of columns, so put plenty
of room between each.
S A B C D

1234
1243
1324

1423
1432

2134
2143
2314
2341
2413
2431

3124

3241

The letters represent various left hand fingerings, and the numbers
are the orders that each note is played in each fingering.
Pattern "S" is a single string:

Finger =====> 1 2 3 4

Vision without action is just day dreaming. I miss practicing.

Ive been working on my own permutations this week but I will try to go back to these. I have been playing patterns that would be used in scales up and down the neck like LH: 124, 134, 13, and 24 up and down the neck to the 12th fret adding in the technics from my other post about effort. I dont press down hard on the strings but let my fingers fall naturally on the strings even with how my hand is curved. I worked a little on arpeggios and inversions last night.
