18. Phrasing Techniques

Phrasing techniques are simple additions to your toolkit that will enable you to play smoother, more effective basslines. They’ll also allow you to add a more expressive edge to your playing, in turn enabling you to find your own unique voice on the bass. The phrasing techniques that will be covered in this course include hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, trills, and vibrato. These are all very simple techniques that you’ve probably begun to use already. All of these techniques are performed by the fretting hand.
