First, fifth, ninth. The basic position is like a power chord, but instead of the octave, that finger is two frets up.

you've just gotta ... ( 2 weeks ago by jonny3gwd25)

you've just gotta pick it up and start playin man. just pluck it with your thumb, hit it with your thumb, pluck with your other fingers - just keep messing with it. I was in the same boat and after 2 years I can't believe how much I've improved. nothing will do it but time/practice, just pick it up and mess around with it annd learn scales, like pentatonics or whatever

no, you could be !! like its not impossible if you sit down a few hours a day, work on scales and technique like slapping, plucking, tapping etc., play along with cd's or drum tracks, learn from other peoples techniques and play at every opportunity, like when watchin tv !! jus remember he didn start off as a virtuoso, chances are he srtarted off with basic groves and walking lines and over years of hard work and lessons built a title ! jus keep workin hard man and you never know

I got a five string, trying to learn some of this on it but it's hard. I can't even get the other strings to note when you hit it down up with thumb. This video is like as clear as a pick but maybe it helps to have a nicer bass than an OLP?
