Today, we are going to be having a really open and transparent conversation about bass technique

and all of the interesting, sort of nooks and crannies that you can go down when it comes to

base technique, because it's easy to look at somebody and consider that their technique is bad,

right? You look at it and you're like, oh, they're doing that thing and, oh, they shouldn't,

oh, they're doing it wrong. They're playing with three fingers on their left hand. Oh,

that's, oh, that's terrible. They're not using their little finger. Ah, strike them down.

Yeah, yeah. And ultimately, that, like, that is, if you were looking at traditionally, if you're looking like at a classical guitar player where there is this lineage of technique, you know, where books have been written for, you know, for years and years and years, you know, over 100 years. I don't know how many years. If you know, let us know in the comments. Classical guitar, how many people have been writing about this stuff in books for years, right? Let us know in the comments.

But all that said, there's like this lineage of tech.

So there's people doing stuff that isn't classed as, you know, correct technique.

But also actually, we're, at least we've been talking about

today, questioning whether that bad technique is maybe the thing that makes them so special.

Yeah. And I mean, we're going to get into it today, too. We have a bunch of examples. And we were

sort of overwhelmed as we were talking about this.

There are so many people we want to talk about and show that are fascinating from a technique

perspective.

We don't have time to do it all, but we are, we're going to try to get to as much of it as possible.

We've got like a lot.

We both came like too excited 12 years.

I've got all of these people to share.

Yes, I'm not sure we're going to get through it all. We're going to kick off. Should we kick off with Flea in just a second? Let's do it. Because I think that his slap technique is

incredibly interesting and we have used it many times saying yeah there's the two ways
