Theres a rumble in Brixton tonight!
I've spent many an hour stealing licks from Brian Setzer.
What you got for jazz lines partner?
Wanna trade?
Do you do his chicken pickin technique too where you palm the pick to switch styles?
When I first saw him palming the pick and bringing it back out I thought it would take a while to get comfy and natural but thanks to my years of laziness and not wanting to bend over to pick up a pick, I always tucked it when switching to fingerpicking.
Laziness paid off that time!
The hardest part was I already had like 5 years of fingerpicking w/ thumbpick and had to now control the bass lines with 2 fingers (holding pick) instead of one. Really messed my instincts up but they came around and now its whatever.
Cheers!
I played for many many years without a pick, just started using one 5 years ago again. I kept dropping it, so I switched to these bigger ones https://i.pinimg.com/originals/41/71/60/41716013570a2f16a3f08f23becdb4ae.jpg
I buy 50 no-names on ebay for like 10 bucks (Fenders are like 3 bucks apiece, fuck that), I've yet to drop one!
--I can't hybrid pick to save my life, but I don't care..
