Pull-offs are one of the most powerful techniques for bass articulation—but are you doing them right? In this lesson, we’ll break down a killer riff from Mastodon’s "I Am Ahab" (1:06) that’s perfect for mastering pull-offs from fretted notes to open strings.

You’ll learn how to:
✅ Make your pull-offs sound clear and powerful
✅ Avoid common mistakes (uneven volume, weak attack, unwanted string noise)
✅ Apply this technique to other songs & riffs

???? Why This Riff?
I actually use this riff to test out guitars—it’s a perfect blend of sustain, attack, and movement, making it a great way to feel out an instrument’s tone and response.

???? Headphones recommended for full low-end power!
