This time I put together clips of some more technical songs that I've been working on. Up on the chopping block are "Space Truckin'" by Deep Purple and "Flight of Icarus" by Iron Maiden. I don't play Maiden the way Steve Harris does. I can't. He's a god.
I also noticed while watching this video that I seem to be developing the bad habit of sticking my pinky out on my picking hand, which I know you aren't supposed to do. Fuck. Guess I have ergonomics to add to the list of things to work on.

< crappy pun>Don't fret about the pinky.< /crappy pun> How you actually hold/play your instrument is basically up to you. As long as you're making noise you're on the right track.
I don't think it matters that much. I've done a little study of right hand technique on guitar and mandolin. Among all the prominent players I watched, they were split right down the middle between open hands and closed hands. I'm sure bass is the same: it doesn't make a difference.
