Re: Best exercises for finger style?
I set my string height at the 12th fret using a nickle to gauge the string height. I use GHS light Round wounds (ALWAYS have).
I play a P bass so as for the right hand;
I rest my thumb on the top edge of the pickup or on the top string (when I'm not popping and slapping) and I bounce my picking fingers with the beat inwards towards my palm. The "bounce" helps immensely with stopping your notes.
As for strengthening of the hand, I used a grip trainer when I was young. It looks like 2 small handles with a loop of metal at the top, joining the two handles. Instead of gripping it with my fist I would hold it between my thumb and fingers.
