As a bass teacher, one of the things I think is overlooked by many players is how important developing proper posture with your plucking hand is to playing fast and comfortably while preventing injury in the future. A lot of players develop a posture where they are choking off the tendons in their wrist from moving freely and this can lead to tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome or cubital tunnel syndrome, and a lack of speed when playing.
Whether you're playing fast or slow, you shouldn't feel tension in your arm, wrist or shoulder.

In this lesson, I'll show you how to get a good relaxed posture that will make playing comfortable and allow you to build speed. Just remember the answer to playing bass faster is never to tense up!

This lesson is from my course Better Beginner Bass - Vol. 1 which is available here:
