Thanks so much for ordering the instructional as well, BASS-BRUTHA!!! The hardest thing for me to get dialed was the right hand combination. When I play 2 note per string patterns (or 4/even patterns) I use my index & ring finger. If it's 3 note per string stuff I use index/ring/middle. The tough part is combining the use of two finger and three finger combos on the right hand. For example when playing DEMISE (from Towers) theres a unison lick my brother and I do together that starts with 2 notes on the E string then to 5 on the A string and finishing with one on the D string. I pluck the index and ring on the E, then I pluck index/ring/index/ring/middle on the A and then end with my index for the last note on the G. It sounds kind of weird but it totally works for me. I could never put the Jaco system of alternating the index & ring finger together well while playing 3 notes per string. It felt so weird to start on the opposite finger from string to string. How other bassists do it sooo fast with just alternating the two fingers on three note per string stuff
blows my mind. So that's why I use the index/ring/midlle for stuff like the modes and whatever 3 note per string combo. I always want to start on the next string with my index. Your method of ring, middle, index, middle is fine as long as your following that last middle finger with the ring again and then proceed with your method from the top. If it's ring, middle, index, middle, ring, middle, index, middle then that could get really weird for you to follow and trip you up.
I hope that helps and thanks again.
