Hi folks,
I have a plucking question… I notice when I am chugging on a string alternating fingers there is a very slight difference in sound between fingers. The tone is identical but there’s a very slight difference in quality.
I’m using a metronome to time the plucks as precisely as possible.
Curious if others experience the same and how to perfect it. A plucking change? Is it just natural and not worth pursuing as it’s likely lost in any playing.
Trying to get my plucking technique as precise and crisp as possible.
Ariane Cap has a picture in her bass theory book that shows how to over come that. You move your plucking hand forward and angle your fingers towards the bridge. It basically makes them the same length.
Yeah I agree. It’s normal that both plucking fingers sound a tiny little bit different because the angle of your attack is a little bit different. But this will become impossible to detect with time and practice, it’s not really an issue.
Thank you @Al1885,
Appreciate your thought. Def want to keep the mood and vibe .
Working to build good habits early for the advanced stuff I’m aspiring to
On my favorites songs I like frog in the hotpot approach I’d start at (as low as) 80% and increase 1% every session all the way to say 120%. This kills 2 birds in one go.
Notes take time to sound good under your finger and the best way to do that is repetition. Try it. Record yourself playing doing you just finish learning. The play it everyday for a month record it again. The same notes sound so much better.
