stewblack Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Great playing on SBL latest YT vid. Especially for the anti plectrum brigade! (Like me) Quote

stewblack Posted January 26, 2019 Author Posted January 26, 2019 You folk who already know all about BV recommend further listening? Quote
Elfrasho Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 If I could start all over again, I would love to have used his playing style as inspiration. I love playing pick in the house, but don't think my technique is strong enough to be used live! Although this wee clip has made me want to practice more! 2 Quote

skidder652003 Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 seen it loads of times but my favourite BV clip 2 Quote
chris_b Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 The guy's got such a positive attitude, no hangups or blinkers. That's a lesson right there! Quote
ubit Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 I always wanted to use a pick just for the sound. Obviously I am a fingers player, but wanted to use a pick for certain songs when the sound called for it. Trouble is, I can only play simple bass lines with a pick. I can’t easily cross strings. It’s obvioulsy because I have not got used to a pick over the years and I need to practice more but at this stage it’s hard to change. Quote
ezbass Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 I saw BV's master class and his clinic with Scott at the last LBGS, what an inspiration. Fortunately, my pick chops are regularly exercised from playing guitar, so it was easy to experiment with playing songs I normally play with my fingers (although I had to get thinner picks for bass than I use with guitar for the right sound, 0.73mm à la BV). I'm so glad I tried it, I now play a fair amount of my band's song with a pick as they just sound better with it. Quote
