Train strings sequentially starting from 1 up to 4 strings. Then down again to the string 1. Train with a slow tempo first. Then the tempo is brought forward. How quickly the tempo of your day, try to even faster tomorrow. Here is a form of fingering can be trained:

6. Vibrato
This technique is played with one finger to press the strings to the left of the fret board and sounded, then the string is bent vertically upward and down repeatedly with rapid. The resulting sound is the sound of the waves.

7. Vibrato SHAKE
This technique is played by the left fingers press the strings to the fret board and sounded, and finger plays slide techniques to the right out of the first fret then slide back into the first fret and then out to the left of the first fret. This process is done quickly and repeatedly. The technique is good when played solo with the Blues scale.

8. BEND
This technique is played by the left fingers press the strings to the fret board and sounded, then the finger to bend the strings to the head or toward the feet while holding down the strings. This technique is easier to do when the three left fingers press the strings are equal then bend them. Easier if done with the left thumb and three fingers gripping the neck press the strings are equal then bend them. The result is the first tone will rise to semitones or even whole tone.

9. Thrill
this technique is played by Hammer On technique and the technique alternately Pull Off quickly. Right index finger only once rang the strings. You must find the right moment to do this technique. The resulting sound is the voice fluctuates rapidly, giving rise to a wave effect.

10. Harmonic
the technique is done by attaching (without pressing) the strings at certain points on the fret board. In order to obtain a clearer harmonic sound, place your right hand closer to the bridge. The technique is much in use to tune- bass strings. Can also be played on a bass solo moments.

11. Barring
the technique is performed by pressing a few strings by using only one finger. (Usually combined with a double stop or raking techniques). This technique is useful to speed up the fingering in playing a bass line.

12. MUTE LEFT HAND
This technique is useful to stop the sound by placing the fourth finger of the left to the fret board without suppressing it, so just touch it.

13. GHOST NOTE LEFT HAND
The technique is performed by index finger across the three strings with the touch without pressure, then the third left finger slap to the four strings without producing a tone. A tone will create a tone that is just dead (dead note / ghost note).
