Looking for motivation sometimes is hard, as human-beings get lazy easily. it's time to watch some of my favorite videos on youtube so I can get my butt back to the seat and start practicing.
Victor Wooten talks about his right hand technique, but watch the 2nd half of this clip where he talks about learning harmonics on the fretboard, simply amazing.
John Petitucci talks about finger funk style with Dave Wreckle, and also with a Sadowsky bass. Check out the band Tower of Power, bassist Francis Rocco Prestia is the mater.
