Hi all
My fingerstyle has developed a lot over the past 2-3 years. I was primarily a rock pick player for 13-14 years, then I figured 'heck, I need to play fingerstyle', so I did....it just naturally worked out after 3-4 months of leaving the pick alone.
Flea is one of the reasons I love bass guitar so much. I love his tone, no matter what bass he uses.
He came from a very similar playing background to me, eg playing fast punk. The Chili's are a great band, and at the moment I'm trying to get used to playing as fast as he does.
Can you recommend anything for getting that really aggressive fingerstyle that he pulls off? Is it just sheer practice at Chili type songs?
I'm getting there...some of them are easier than I thought. By The Way sounds awesome played along with the recording.
