OK, I'm going to explain how it is short and simple since many people are having a hard time grasping it:) Pick playing vs finger style is a choice of technique and/or sound that has nothing to do with easy or difficult per se. Bass players in certain genres (e.g. punk and thrash/groove metal) gravitate towards using a pick because of tradition, sound and playing techniques. There are of course finger styles, like advanced slapping techniques, that require a lot more training than playing fast down-strokes with a pick, but how would that sound in a punk rock song for example? Not very good. Also, there are figures and sequences which are actually much harder to do with a pick than with your fingers (e.g. playing a melody on the higher notes while maintaining an ostinato - accompanying - bass tone) and vice versa. Sure, it's true that unskilled bassists tend to use a pick, since the finger style has a somewhat higher threshold for achieving an intermediate level of skill, but that doesn't mean that the pick style as such is easier if you consider more complex musical structures and techniques above the most basic level of playing. The finger style is also historically more widespread and explored in more musical genres, which generally means there are more skilled finger players than there are skilled pick players. Just statistics. Ok, not so short, but I got carried away.
@skandababy9 жыл бұрын
it took you that long to shit out your point? If music sounds great, no one cares which technique is used. Instead of you all pretentiously posturing over a pick, you could be listening to the music. I can't roll my eyes far enough back to do justice to this stupidity.

iHatePop People are shortsighted and zoned into the idea of what a "bassist" is, but not everyone will play without a pick. It's very typical for Matt Freeman to not only play with a pick, but use his middle finger to pluck a higher note as well (he said so in an interview). After he said that, I looked for it, and you can tell, it's why he has the "pincher grip" using his pointer finger and thumb for the pick. In this way, he's not just playing with a pick, but also finger playing, so everyone who gets on him for not using his fingers can GTFO. Besides, it's not like he's not a monster without a pick too, he often plays a standup bass in Devils Brigade. Credit where credits due, Matt is one of the greatest bassplayers who walk the earth today.

These guys are not style related, so don't compare.
