I'll bet Dan hasn't thought about his fingering choices for bass runs in years, he just plays and those drilled in patterns happen automatically. For me, it's a different story.

I will say that the fingering I figured out on my own matches what most people show. There is value to figuring it out on your own and also there is value to being shown and to lessen frustration when most people are somewhat beginners on this topic.
