This double thumbing/thumping stuff

[Nick]

God, I saw a video of someone doing it today, and I'll NEVER be able to do this. It's just too damn dificult. Bah, I'll stick with me growly pick playing.

1) Be positive Nick. You'll learn it eventually.

2) I get a kick everytime you write with an English accent.;D

Heh. Some dude on Talkbass did a video on it, but he played at about 2 zillion beats per minute, so I was struggling to see how his thumb moved. I can move my thumb up and down, I just can't get my fingers to pop and get the groove going, cuz everytime i try, my thumb stops going. I'ts just a matter of hand and finger co-ordination.

Hey! Victor Wooten is a bassist to check out with the double thumb technique. I have on of his DVD's and he slows it right down to show you. It is pretty cool. I have been playing bass for 17 years now and still haven't grasp it. I can do it slow and do use it for accenting. I still just stick with
single thumb strokes. I have always had enought speed for what I am doing.
