Most of you finger picking bass players out there probably play predominantly with two fingers. But today I’m going to talk a little about three finger picking and some of the benefits it can provide even if you only use the technique sparingly.
Players like Billy Sheehan, John Myung, Alex Webster and Steve Bailey have really popularised three finger plucking over the years and it can be a great way to play faster lines more fluidly.
We're going to look at picking with three fingers as a way of playing triplet and gallop lines, straight 8th notes in fours and scalar lines.
