Iron Maiden - Revelations (Bass Cover) Pick/Finger Comparison/ Read Description: PICK

I tend not to get involved with the whole argument of finger vs picks. I think both are good and it just depends on what you want, imo there is hardly any difference in sound anyway thus I have posted this video twice. ON THIS VIDEO I am using a plectrum, on the other video that I will link to this via a video response I will be playing this song with my fingers for comparison. IMO there is hardly any difference in sound. I mean tbh I prefer using picks, thus I am predomintaly a pick bassist and rarely use my fingers. These videos are really to try and stop the arguments but deep down I know that it will probably only have the adverse effect. Anyway enjoy THE MUSIC fuck the details ultimataly. OH AND...I worked this song out totally by ear so I'm not saying I play the song correctly 100% to the way Steve Harris does because I do not (and no I don't have tabs, I suggest google;).

Pick gives sharper sound, better definition, fingers (without nails) give you a rounder sound. Depents on what you need / like better. Cut the this better that better crap pls.

Btw i use both.

[maidenslayer]

I don't say one is better than the other. But a lot of people argue on my videos about pick/finger playing so I recorded me playing this song with both to show that there is little difference in sound. I can play using both but I personally am much more comfortable playing with a pick because I taught myself and learnt with a pick.

I use both two...except for EXCEPTIONNAL bassists like Steve Harris, it is very uneasy to play very quick tremolo rythm on the bass with fingers...And remember in music, it's the technics that serves the music, and not the music that serves technics. If a bassist can more quickly and easily reach a good level thanks to pick, where is the problem ? So I use a pick for medium or quick tempo music...and fingers for easy slow power ballads because of round sound, more adapted to ballads.

Finger > Pick!!!

[ogsf4life]

i like to use a pick for faster songs or parts of the song all depends on the song for me

[RockOut113]
