[G] next thing I want to share [C] with you is the big finger technique.
Because [F#m] back in the days, a lot of those songs [N] from Studio One, Treasure Eyes,
those guys used the thumb, you know,
gear that is really pumpy and hard hitting bass.
So, we're going to share some of that with you.

_ _ The big finger, you know, _ [F#] it's so powerful, man.
This finger will blow your speakers, you know.
So you have to be careful.
[G#]
It's a powerful thing, yeah.
Round, fat, you want that round, fat bass.
Deep, [F#] [B] big finger, man.
Hear that sound there, you know.
Respect.
The _ _ _ _ two fingers, [F#] they are louder because they have more power up there, you know.
More strength. _
But with the big finger, it's deep, you know, deep. _
Muddy.
_ _ Real rather muffin [C#] loose sound, you know.
Bad boy sound.
_ _ You know, man.
Big finger, you know. _ _ _ _ _ _
Yeah, man, so that's it for the day, though.
That's how we do it.
So, as I say, you know, I practice hard, you know, rehearse, learn the skills, learn the songs,
[Am] make sure I'm equipped.
When I get on stage, [F#] I just let it all loose, [N] man.
I stick my guitar and I don't think about anything.
I just start playing and it all comes together, you know.
So, that's how I do it.
And I hope you enjoy it.
And thanks to [C#m] Donovan Miller, [E] the drummer, [F#m] sharing his [C#] advice with me.
[B] And if you guys ever come [N] down to Jamaica, man, come to Axe Studio.
That's my studio, you know.
We have nice facilities for recording and all of that.
Have a good vibe.
That's a nice [F#] part of [G#] Jamaica, you know.
Smooth, relaxing, nice ocean view, everything.
Port Antonio, that's where I am.
