just started module 13. @JoshFossgreen teaches to ‘bounce’ your thumb off the string almost like its a little fleshy drum stick. also watched this nate navarro video where he says instead of bouncing to follow the thumb through the played string to land on the string below — slap on the E and then rest on the A for example (vid should start at 1:10 where he demos this):
as always would rather learn the better way now rather than develop bad habits - any compelling reasons to do one or the other? (also josh: for future lessons may be worth grabbing a gopro camera & mount, i found that camera angle nate uses showing right hand technique really helpful).
I tried the follow through technique. Nothing but dull thuds. The bounce technique worked for me. Luke at “Become a bassist” also teaches the slap through.
