Some may know that I now have a bass guitar and am taking Steve Araujo's course. The course is perfect for getting started BTW. My question relates to the picking hand. In the drills he stresses alternating between the index and middle fingers. That's not as easy as it sounds, for me at least. I've been watching bass players and notice that they don't necessarily do that all the time, including Steve. So I'm going to continue to concentrate on that, but should you go with your tendencies later on? It seems logical that alternating would be critical for faster tempos, but not so much for slower tempos. I know we have a lot of bass players here who may have an opinion, including @Griff. Thanks!
