Shinedown Bass Lesson: 'Devour' By Eric Bass

cool bass may i say

loving the bass!

Personally, I think it should be mandatory for bass players to play with their fingers, it just makes playing bass more original and awesome.

Exactly man haha. It doesn't matter what you play with as long as you're comfortable with it. This guy's just not representing pickers very well albeit his cool last name. It's a valuable skill to be able to use both picks and fingers.

NO playing with your fingers is the only way. This guy does not seem that good but the bass is sweet!

Wow, we really need better bass videos...

i hear you there
as for playing with picks...it all really depends on what type of sound you want; but personally i like finger style better

As you can see, everyone is hatin' on picks. That makes us (pick users) unique. Thank you.

Not really. It just makes you (pick users) look more like a guitar player wannabe rather than a bassist. You're welcome.

Using a pick just makes the bass a retarded version of the guitar.

Picks are for pussies, man.

I stopped playing bass with a pick a year ago. Its so much more fun to play with your fingers... and it scares people when they see your fingers flying everywhere

That was a great "closest thing to a bass solo ever at 4:46... *snicker*...*snicker*snicker*... BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

i wish les claypool would do a lesson on here!!

this was alright though

It doesn't matter if you use a pick as long as it's because you prefer the sound. People should to what they want to get the tone they want. I personally use my fingers because I prefer the tone it gives me.

he plays sterling's not stringray's

naaa, every show I have played at, I was the only bassist playing with my fingers. In a way, playing with your fingers EFFICIENTLY is unique

I'm getting motion sickness watching this guy sway back and forth.
