Double Thumb Exercise

Hi,

Bass players like Larry Graham, Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten and etc often use the double thumb technique.

This is a nice and simple exercise for you to practice the double thumb technique.

Saw Uriah Duffy did something like this and it sounded like Jaco's lines.

Give it a try.

Have fun!
