While new bass players generally learn to play using right-hand finger plucking techniques, many bassists choose to play the bass with a pick. As a newer bass player, or as an intermediate one joining a new band or getting into a new musical style, you may be wondering which approach to choose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether to play with fingers or a pick depends on the tone and rhythmic feel you want to achieve. A pick gives you a sharper, more percussive and driving tone and allows you to play faster 8th\/16th notes on a single string. Finger plucking gives you a rounder sound and is better for a pocket feel and frequent string changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
