ahh thats a cool way on muting! looks very tension free too!

Hey All! What do you all think about using your 3rd and 4th finger on your plucking hand to mute individual strings (manly your 3rd finger on the A string and the 4th on D). I have personally just started experimenting with this and finding it very useful, however I am worried about adding tension to my hand. What do you all think? and can you think of any other bass players who have adopted this style?, only guys I'm aware of are Jaco and Victor Bailey.

[quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1339958925' post='1696845'] The whole of this Simon Phillips session is great. Anthony at his absolute best, though this is my favourite tune... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb8k53ZzJbc[/media] [/quote] Yeah I agree, its all great!

you should learn to use both in my opinion... it is never a bad thing to be good at lots of different styles of plucking! anyone who says real bass player don't use a pick direct them to the nearest video of Anthony Jackson [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vti-ufVDXc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vti-ufVDXc[/url]

Thanks Bert! I think Its always good to be open to all styles of music!

My Favorites would be these! some are session players who has played on hundreds of tracks; Jaco Pastorius Pino Paladino Anthony Jackson Steve Bailey Victor Wooten Marcus Miller Stanley Clarke Robert Trujillo Les Claypool Paul McCartney

just trying to get some love for my video! in it i do a cover of Sex in a Pan by the band Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, which if you didn't know the bass player is Victor Wooten, its a really groovy track and to say its Victor its nice and held back! enjoy!
