> How do you get your figure to press down just right on the string and not interfere with another. The main secret is: Press just behind the fret. This will give the cleanest sound with the less amount of pressure. Also, you need good ergonomics. Your wrist should never feel ackward; it should be as straight and relaxed as possible. This often needs wearing the guitar with a strap, and with the guitar hanging high (as most bass players do), rather than low as in most music videos (because it looks so cool to have the guitar hanging low...)
