geddy lee style

consider changing the way i strike the strings on my bass to using 3 fingers

are there any bassists here who would recommend that?

Anything Geddy does is fine by me...

amen, dave!

My mate plucks with 3 fingers, it should be "better"...

i dont know cuase i dont play bass but in a U2 concert i met 2 bassist that played it with 3 fingers...so when they ask each other with how many fingers they played they got like: Wow...thot's...uh the deal!!!!! (so yes try it with 3)

thanks for ur feedback

i havent been playing for long so i dont think it would hurt to try it.

If Geddy jumped off a bridge, would that be fine too?

James Jamerson played with only 1 finger (EVER), and he's widely considered one of the best pop musicians the world has ever known.

That would be weird.

Playing bass with one finger.

They called it "the Hook". Played on more #1 hits than The Beatles.

It may be one of the most boring thigns ever, since he keeps doing the same fast thing for 8 minutes, but, for you to see a damn good finger picking bassman... by far one of the most skilled bassist out there, Mr. Billy Sheehan!!!!!

(About munute 6 or 7, he duels out with Paul Gilbert, that is incredible!!!)


WARNING!!!!: It may cause that so much virtuosism can posiibly make you loose your will to keep on playing (like it happened to me on the last G3 concert...)
