  Finally some advanced techniques tutorial. All of the youtube is filled with beginners lesson but hard to find something more advance once you got the basics down. Great video.

  Thanks Charles, I&apos;ve been hacking at cant hold no groove for a long time. &nbsp;The section right after the right hand tap has always eluded me. &nbsp;This is the best breakdown I have ever seen of it. &nbsp;Looks like practice time!

  One thing many leave out is instrument. The instrument matters. Not all basses produce the same sound and that depends on various factors like string height (too high, much harder to play), tension, action, tone settings, wood, &nbsp;type of pick ups etc. These things matter greatly, it&apos;s not just the technique. Especially If you&apos;re a beginner. It can be frustrating when you hear these clean snappy pro instruments and you wonder why yours sounds like thuddy dead wood. &nbsp;String height was a big one for me when I started out. It was too high and right string tension, it made it incredibly hard for me to play and I had no idea. It takes time and patience sometimes you learn the hard way but keep going. Don&apos;t get discouraged. Hope this helps.
