Good Times Bad Times giving you a hard time?

It's the plucking. Alternate plucking feels automatic going up, but the moment you come back down, the temptation to rake kicks in.

This is a one-minute breakdown of how I approach consistent alternate plucking in the plucking hand, using a classic Zeppelin-inspired bass line to put it all together.

What's your experience been with keeping alternate plucking consistent when changing directions? 🎸
