FORMATION OF THE MEDIATOR TECHNIQUE ON THE BASS GUITAR: SOME ASPECTS

Abstract

In the present article, the processes of forming the mediator technique when playing the bass guitar are considered. The questions of the right hand position, the direction of the plectrum movement and the choice of the playing zone are investigated. Of particular interest are the production materials of plectrums and their forms. At the same time, the author emphasizes the role of the first bass guitar player Carol Kaye, who had a significant influence on the development of the pick technique.
