If I had seen this a long time ago, I would have saved myself from countless hours of frustration. Thanks!

Fretting technique is always an interesting topic.

Need more close-ups of your fretting

This is my favorite bass channel & favorite bass teacher everrrr!! You deserve to have 1 million subscribers, awesomely personable bass player.

This should be titled 'Improve Your Fretting Hand Technique With This Simple Tip (Beginners Bass Guitar AND for those who've played for years but have never seen a video re Joint Barring) This made me think & within moments it'd dawned on me why sometimes I play better than other times. Cheers!! 👍😊

Makes it easier to1-4,2-5,without a space!!!!!!

Mark you are a great teacher. The techniques are simple and straight to the point. This is why I love this channel

Great lesson, Thanks Mark!

i'm an absolute beginner, and your videos really help. thanks!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge

Thanks Mark! I love the cobalt blue color of that bass.

Tnx for the video. As a beginner I thought playing two frets across two different strings with one finger was a wrong approach. And I always wondered how to get that smooth legato. Now I know. ;) Tnx Mark!!

Fantastic video thank you for this one.

thanks mark. It really helps me.

Thank you So much for this cool technique Mark Sir

Another good lesson.

This video has really thought me much , inspiration 👨 Man

Good helpful lesson, especially for beginners to intermediate. I learnt to do this from just experimenting when I started playing so I could get the legato sound Mark mentions. Sometimes I use the pinky and ring finger etc depending on what I'm playing which I'm sure I've seen Mark cover in other lessons. Cheers

Thank you.

Proud to know I’ve kinda been doing this subconsciously a lot and know can focus on it and play more consistently

You're an awesome bass teacher 💯.. It would be fantastic to have some tips on accompanying techniques for bass and voice duo..many thanks from Italy!

I sing and bass together (in a choir). Just practise, practise, practise

Oh wow.. I learned something new with joint technique

Very cool

I like to go from the 1 to the 3 or 4 to the 6 with my pinky and ring finger alternating strings and then I will try it with a floating thumb.

very good lesson, I think it is impossible to play some riffs without these techniques :)

Great lesson :^)

as someone who started playing in may your website is the best thing to exist. the technique section is my favorite :))

Thanks now I can do a1-4,2-5 without any gaps making for a Smooth easy movement or a fast quick sounding movement!!!!😁😁😁

i learned this surprisingly late. no one bothered to show me. the first time i saw it addressed was, ironically enough, in one of eric haugen's vids where he played bass for a change and joint barring and its importance was literally the first thing he mentioned.

Great stuff

Wow my technique was wrong and i got pretty good with it

I feel like my pinky is too weak. 😭 the joints in my pinky kind of lock up, since there's a lot of tension in my hand.

Hey that's a nice looking bass, what make/model is she?

Mark I found if I don't look at my fretting hand I play better with less mistakes

Niccolo Paganini was first ;)

Hi brother how's going on 😁😁😁😁

Damn, this is stilll killing my left thumb. I'm lost for what to do to stop the pain.

Just don't use it. Needing the thumb on the fretting hand is always caused by too much pressure used for fretting. You learn the exact amount of pressure by keeping the thumb away from the neck. Practice for a while differently using a playlist of easy songs doing playalongs until you don't need the thumb anymore.
