If I was to start now I would most definitely share my right hand practice time between fingers, pick & slap (yes I know there will be those who will argue that, that is time that could go into their primary style such as fingers). I’ve been a finger style player for 30+ years & I’ve only recently started using a pick for some songs & I regret not sharing my practice time between fingers & a pick 30 years ago. He gives an example of Dazed & Confused which he plays with his fingers & then the very percussive ‘almost guitar like’ strumming he uses with a pick for Whole Lotta Love. There’s a youtube video from John Paul Jones that give a couple of good examples of why both are good & useful for differant songs. It’s definitely a technique worth learning and being fluent with. It’s all about the music and the way you like to play it and the results you’re receiving. I ain’t trying to hate on anyone however they choose to play. When I played closer to the bridge, I was getting a sound I really liked after dialing things in. I tried one with an older Gibson EB0 and then an EB3 and the neck allowed for some really fast runs using a pick. I use a Marcus Miller Signature Jazz and for me, it’s not a necessity though some years ago I had an older Precision using D’Addario ground half-rounds and discovered a hard felt pick gave me what certain songs called for when playing closer to the neck. Why? With some, you can get the sound you need without a pick and with others, it just might be the necessary thing. It also comes down to the bass and strings you are using. It’s a matter of taste, personal preference and the sound the song might call for. Readers, what’s your take? Post your thoughts on this subject!
That said, I’m sure this will open up plenty of discussion here, and I look forward to it. Forget any hype or online arguments about what is better. So, in short, do what will make the song sound better and what will make you feel best about what your playing. I like to keep myself open to whatever the song may need. Is it a bit awkward? Sure, at first, but I’m getting used to it and it actually makes me play differently, which is a good thing, I think. I wanted to hear that click with the notes, so I bought a handful of different picks and experimented until I found one that felt right and sounded right to me. I’ve recently joined the band, and I just felt like I should be using a pick on some of the tunes with pulsing 8th note grooves. I’ve always been a finger player, but I’ve actually started using a pick on about half of the songs I perform with the pop band, Echo Helstrom. Pick haters only need check out Bobby Vega, Steve Swallow or Carles Benevante to hear that a pick can be used creatively and make beautiful (non hard edged) music. I will argue to the death that one is no better than the other. If you don’t like the sound of a pick, or it just doesn’t feel right, don’t bother with it unless there’s a specific reason. What’s your take on that?Ī: As with all things that come down to taste and music, I say: “follow your ears!” Q: I prefer playing the bass using my fingers, but I see a lot of bassists these days using a pick.
