I just started learning bass, and Cage is the first song I'm attempting to learn. Is it better to use a pick? I noticed this isn't one of your most recent videos, but I'm really impressed. I can't nearly play the song as fast as you, and I have problems stretching my fingers.
I've used both techniques, picks and fingers, and I can say it sounds better with a pick, even Toshiya plays it with a pick. As for the problems you have stretching your fingers, don't worry, I have really short fingers, but, as you will read everywhere, practice is the solution. Get your fingers used to the strings and fretboard, even I didn't know my fingers could move that fast before recording the video. Hope I could help, regards~
Yes, thank you for the helpful response. I want to eventually upload myself playing, but I'm too much of a novice now. It'd be embarrassing. Anyway take care.
Then here's my advice: Use your fingers. There's so much more you can get out of it than if you were to use a pick.
Don't ask, "Why do guitarists use picks then?" Well, who said they have to? They use fingerpicking often, it's just more common to bass because it gives a nice, low, clean sound.
let's see... firts I like ur clothes (no novelty)... then... how you do move your fingers.... Jesussss... and like always... you play very good the bass... i'm not surprise ^^
USE YOUR PINKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plus fingerpicking looks a lot cooler. So do it.

Hey dude, thought i'd check out your video. Pretty good. Is the video mirrored or are you left handed?
Little more practice on a few sections and you'll have it down. I'm thinking of posting a new version soon.. seeing i did that one like 8 months ago
