READ INFO!! Great bass songs for using a pick.

TABS: www.ultimate-guitar.com

Whether you're a beginner or a natural guitarist or just prefer pick, this is for you.

Before getting on my case about using a pick, know that I checked videos of each of these songs live and I think they all use a pick.

Most fast punk and ska songs use a pick, so I only put a few in the video.

  • real bass players dont need picks

  • @coolpanguar Most bass players don't need picks. many (like myself in this video) choose to use them for certain songs to get a different sound out of the bass - that doesn't mean we can't play without a pick

  • Hi really good playing there :)

    I just started playing bass have you got any good tips i could use?

  • @GEORGEONZA Thanks!

    Umm, I started with playing guitar so picking up bass different for me. Just have patience, work on stretching your fret hand and getting rhythm by walking with your fingers in the other hand, and start by playing along to some easy songs like I do in the video to get a feel for the instrument!

  • Great only one problem YOU FORGOT HYSTERIA BY MUSE AND MONEY BY PINK FLOYD!!!!!

  • @dbd11101402 Those are on my video where i don't use a pick! Check it out

  • WMD bassrickzero is absolutely right!

  • Nice selection of pick songs. Every well-rounded bass player should use a a pick as well as fingers. Period. It makes you more marketable.

  • @coolpanguar MEGA-lie

  • @coolpanguar

    I lost the last joint of my right middle and ring fingers in an accident when I was six. Does that mean I will never be a real bass player ?

  • Are you wearing a skirt? ;)

  • @coolpanguar

    I just looked at your youtube profile, there is not a single video that comes close to having bass in it (without pick), or even rock and roll video in general to begin with. I saw a doll in one of the videos though... So why are you even talking?

    So why are you even talking?

  • Totally awesome dude, i couldn't decide what to learn how to play on bass, and this definitely helped. I liked how you mashed everything together.

  • you missed stuck with me by green day

  • What about Roundabout by YES?????

  • The reason why people like to use pick is because they were guitar players.
