i love this song

[willieeeeeee3]

@An0therBassPlayer Oh. Yeah I guess he probably gave up using his fingers in this song, so it probably is a cheat. :P However if he's just doing it for the sound like Flea does, I guess it's alright.

[An0therBassPlayer]

@willieeeeeee3 Totally agree . That's what I meant with pick=cheat, but it is a very good exercise to play it with fingers

[willieeeeeee3]

@An0therBassPlayer Actually I should say just 'possible' than 'very possible' because it's still really hard to do this without a pick. :3

[willieeeeeee3]

@An0therBassPlayer Flea uses a pick in this song just for a different sound. Pretty much was @Prettyflyforabassguy said. Although it's very possible to do it without a pick. Also, to me, if I consider using a pick as a cheat, it's if someone hasn't really mastered walking on the bass and is used to a guitar. If you are using a pick just for technique, then it's okay. :P It's still cooler to do this song without a pick though! :D Though the guy did do a good job. :D

@Lars14Falke It's not exactly hard, Flea uses a pick in this for the sound and consistency a pick gives

[An0therBassPlayer]

For this song  pick = cheat :o)

More seriously, good job !

@Lars14Falke try this one with fingers and you will understand :D
