Members ARES Posted August 4, 2005 Members Share Posted August 4, 2005 Slap, tap, strum, pick, finger, thumb, drum stick, beer bottle, fist on horn, and... I think that covers all my styles. Oh one time I slammed my headstock against the wall but it produced the same sound as hitting the horn but with more pontential damage, so I stopped.

Members the_big_geez Posted August 4, 2005 Members Share Posted August 4, 2005 I pretty much NEVER play bass with a pick, and almost never play guitar with a pick, though when playing electric guitar there's a lot I CAN do with a pick that I can't do without. When playing mandolin I use a pick. If there's no pick I'll play it anyway, but it shows in the results, and usually badly! Playing banjo I should use a whole LOTTA picks, but never got the hang of not being able to feel where the strings are. So, I play with my calloused fingertips a lot quieter than the cats that gots armor on... I never play violin with a pick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Next2Nothing Posted August 4, 2005 Members Share Posted August 4, 2005 I slap my bass like I slap my hoes... Well, atleast I'd like to think I had hoes. In light of this I've decided that the next best thing is slapping my mother, so if you'll excuse me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Narcosynthesis Posted August 4, 2005 Members Share Posted August 4, 2005 both, there are some things that sound much better with fingers, and some things i prefer with a pick (or things i cant play properly with my fingers) so i do whatever suits that particular song i kinda managed to destroy one of my fingers (got a little blister on the end that stopped my playng with my fingers) so i could just stickto a pick for then David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mlwarriner Posted August 4, 2005 Members Share Posted August 4, 2005 picks, fingers, either way. depends on the song, and what character of tone is required. smoother fatter tone = fingers. harsher, more edgy sound = pick. at least for me.

Members lug Posted August 4, 2005 Members Share Posted August 4, 2005 I never pick unless I'm in a very heavy (a.k.a. heavy distorted guitar) situation. Picked bass sounds great in that circumstance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
