Here is the man himself, giving you the blow by blow on doing his neo soul/metal style approach using fingers and the thumb on his picking hand. It's more like playing slap bass than it is guitar, but that's what this style of play really borrows from. So if you learn this, and want to play slap/funk bass, you are all set. if you've never touched a bass guitar, or only used a pick on bass, this may seem a bit strange to play. I played fingerstyle bass in a gigging blues band and added slap/funk bits just to keep it from being to boring and it did jazz things up. So here he is!
