it limits you in other ways.... particularly when speed involves, say, going from a note on the E when to the G, or when a piece requires super fast playing that immediatly moves in to popping/slapping and then back into speed... you can go just as fast with fingers as with a pic. ever seen the video to run to the hills? it's the video that all bassits aspire to - steve harris fingers actually BLUR

going from e to g is easy, just mute a and d, and strum down, that works.

not if you're going 2-9 from e to g

thats where sweap picking comes into it.

and how do you get past the pop/slapping scenario?

i only read the first 2 lines of your post.

well, please answer the rest of it :p

i cant be arsed :(

>_>





<_<





















NICE CHIN



(notgay)

Anyone on?

****it butler beat me to first of day :(

[QUOTE=GurS]there's nothing 'wrong' with it, it's just that it is not only a pointless extra, but also limits what you can do at speed.[/QUOTE]

if anything you can play faster.

anything steve harris can do can be done with a pick or fingers - therefore it makes no difference, you have to be good at picking to play iron maiden, or you have to be good at fingers. Its not necessary to recreate a song exactly as a band plays it live, even bands themselves dont play the song exactly the same

[QUOTE=GurS]and how do you get past the pop/slapping scenario?[/QUOTE]

you put the pick down - or what i do live is either put it in my mouth, or hold it between my little and ring finger in the "claw" shape

everything is over-commercialised.

especially christmas.

and on halloween, a group of usually get together at one house, and anytime someone who isnt 5 years old or accompanied by parents comes to the door, we go upstairs to the window above, either throw things at them, or hide in the bushes at the front at scare the **** of out them, and the either:

1.)spray them with the hose
2.) if they throw anything at us shoot them with a paintball gun.


and i still havent grown out of doing that... ahhhhh well

EDIT: anyone under 11 we usually just give them sweets because we dont really want to spoil it for them
