Key Quotes:
“One of the biggest issues I see with many 5-string players is that they don’t utilise the entire instrument. They often play it like a 4-string bass and just use the B-string as a handy thumb rest.”
“To be able to use your B-string effectively you’ve got to be able to visualise where the root notes are. Then it’s just a case of building a simple box pattern around that”
“If you’re primarily a 4-string player, this video is going to help you to utilise that low B-string straight off the bat. You’ll sound like you’ve been playing a 5-string bass for years!”
