    What an incredible way to teach and communicate do you have, Julia. You bring your own energy and at the same time it shows you know how to teach technique but you also transmit peace, security and conviction, in that way you remind me of someone we both admire so much, the master Victor Wooten.

    I'm self taught (Hal Leonard). One thing I e noticed about "fixed points" as you pointed out, I do all those things you mentioned. I practice daily both sitting and standing (you must practice in both positions). I've noticed that when standing I tend to use the inside of my upper forearm as my point of contact. I still put my thumb on the pickup out of habit. But with the forearm you get an awareness of the entire instrument. A slight conter pressure against the body of the bass affects everything from fretting notes to awareness of where the strings are and accuracy in striking them. Good point!
