Becky Baldwin is one of the hardest working rock and metal bassists from the UK! Playing for metal legends like Mercyful Fate as well as her own projects Fury & Hands Off Gretel, Becky knows a thing or two about playing bass for metal. In this Artist Tookit, Becky goes over some techniques she uses, particularly using finger style for metal playing!

Great lesson, thanks. A fantastic Rickenbacker sound too. So much punch fingerstyle.

All the things your telling in this video are damned right. I play bass about 40 years. But only in bands. Now i try to learn to play the instrument rightly. You play very well, so i can learn a lot looking your videos. Thanks very much. Take care and god bless.

Becky, you’re brilliant and I love your youth and bass playing. A kind word of advice from a 40+ years bass player. Began at age 11. Your picking hand..Add your ring finger!! Practice doing all the things you do with two fingers, using middle and ring only. Then practice 3 note per string scales. Picking them; index, middle, ring(E-G string). Then (G-E string) ring, middle, index. In the 80’s, I was in very good metal bands, opening for Crimson Glory, Lizzy Borden, Tony McAlpine and a few others. Now I play all kinds of music. Find a way to incorporate your ring finger. You will not regret it. Also, I believe Jaco said, you don’t need to slap to be funky. Cheers!! You’re awesome!! Keep it up.

I'm gonna practice the gallop! I'm a big fan of yours, you're a good bassist and a decent person. I'm also the proud owner of your "bassists against racists" t-shirt 😎 Go get one, bass players everywhere!

I just realised I lead with middle finger all the time. When I do an octave the ring finger is at the bottom. If I try and flip it sounds terrible

Are those DiMarzio x2n bass pickup's

@SokolRock 5 ай бұрын

The bridge pickup is Seymour Duncan Rickenbacker. The other one is most likely original.

She just proved Blackie Lawless wrong the base is not a tool of ignorance if it is played correctly

I remember thinking rock bass is simplistic, until I started playing. It's a fantastic instrument that is getting more prominence thanks to YT. And it's great to see so many female bassists now.
