Developing Safe Right Hand Technique for Bass Guitar

A lesson on developing on safe and comfortable right hand technique for bass guitar. This is a follow up to my video looking at left hand technique.

My own problems with RS injury lead me to develop my concept of "neutral position," which I teach to my student in hopes that they don't have the same problems I did. Here are the basic ideas of the neutral position as it relates to the right hand that I covered in the video.

1. The shoulder holds up the arm

2. The elbow is above the bass (don't drop it behind the bass)

3. The forearm can rest against the bass for shoulder support.

4. The fingers of the right hand are curved and relaxed

5. The wrist is straight and relaxed.

6. The thumb is to the left of the first finger, and should only pivot side to side, not in front of the bass (this causes a bent, tense wrist)
