It is tough. I have seen other tutorials (outside of TAC) that will break down a thumb picking sequence at a very detailed level (for instance, teaching 2-3 notes at a time, very slowly). This has been one of the only ways I’ve been able to learn. I feel like it just takes a lot of practice.
I also notice that my thumb doesn’t immediately go back to the bass note string when I am playing other strings at the same time. It is almost like my thumb waits until the other note I play finishes playing… or it waits until I pluck another string to go back to play the bass note. Whereas when I’m solely just using the thumb on the bass note, I can pick it and quickly go back and rest it on the bass note string until I play it again… But this doesn’t happen when I’m going to play other treble notes.
Tough to explain, but I’m sure I’ll get better as I practice.
