Recording myself and playing it back has helped me tremendously in seeing if my fingers are close to the fretboard and other errors I can correct.

Great video, Yonit. <br>I’ve been playing for 40 years and still learning. Honestly, I wish I knew half of what you know. 😂<br>While I do everything you mentioned, power pinky, use all fingers, rest the arm, I even occasionally remember to take breaks. The most important, for me, is the strap. I’m a rocker but I have my strap adjusted so my bass is the same place on me whether I’m sitting or standing. It helps me keep that muscle memory and I have one less thing to worry about. <br>I’m glad you included that.

I liked what you said about the technique you use due to having small hands, and essentially altering what you do on either side of the 5th fret. It seems like so many of the guitar and bass Youtubers have long, octopus-like fingers. As someone who has short fingers for my size, in particular my pinky, I have to make adaptations to compensate. In fact, that might be a good idea for a future video.
