The POCKET PICKER is an incredible tool that I have adopted, and I now bring it to every gig...I found it to be very useful. I use it while I'm traveling gig to gig by train or car (of course that's when I'm not driving myself), and I can go directly to the sound check and have a great sensation of fitness when I pick up my bass. It also works well when you can't have your instrument with you right before going on stage. Honestly, since I have been using it, I have improved my right hand technique and discovered new patterns that I later reproduced on the bass. I recommend it highly, especially to work on techniques that have a lot to do with “string crossing”.

Worked out for the POCKET PICKER, a progressive and evolutionary method in tablatures, Dominique Di Piazza proposer of many targeted exercises, also based on the concept of the enhanced difficulty, which will guide you straight to right hand freedom.

“When I started to play bass, I used the index and middle finger of the right hand, using the technique that was practiced by all bass players. This technique with only two fingers, quickly appeared to me insufficient for playing faster, play chords or simply to express my music. I developed then a technique using four fingers; thumb, index, middle finger & ring finger...”
