Sweep Picking on Bass w/ Fingers
It’s possible. There is a lot that goes into one pattern and I’d love to do a tutorial video on the easiest way possible on achieving this IF ASKED. Check out more about me.

Wouldn't a baritone guitar make roughly the same sounds?
You know if the bass is beat to hell like that the player is gonna be immaculate
Whoa. Ive never seen anyone do it like that before. I have been showing my brother the guitar player some examples of this style for him to try in his playing. A Tele and with a pick. I said I like it myself and that's why there's still a pick tucked right by my thumb on the Thingray.
I said most guys seem to be purists so bass players that do sweep picking have developed a whole slew of techniques for sweep picking with the fingers. Sometimes just on principle I think. I say it's an Electric Bass Guitar so a plectrum is fair game. All guitar techniques ought to be legit on any member of the guitar family I think.
But this is different somehow. It looks like you've adapted the Double Thumb to the Index. Sides of the thumb vs front and back of finger. The more I look at it and think about it really looks a lot like Geddy Lee's rather unique Rt Index finger technique.
Pause to tuck in Little One You know I'm kinda surprised I've never heard him do something really like it already. He has been using that style for decades exclusively – he even filled in for Chris Squire himself no pick – seems a natural extension that would really complement what he already does.
Wicked awesome Dude. I am about to get snowed in real good again so I am going to give this a try tomorrow.
I think you might just be a fountain of good ideas. I watched it again and I think I am seeing a way of adapting this to compensate for a nerve damaged Rt thumb that makes any thumbing technique painful and unenjoyable.
I will let you know. Really liked the video. And I only saw it cos you posted a futurama video and your own was next up. Go YouTube ????????
Just gey a fucking guitar
Anybody have a guess on string gauges?
I've been playing for a long time and just recently have the urge to try thinner strings. Might make tapping easier.
This video is something I haven't seen really… maybe on bass with a pick, but not fingerstyle. Super cool.
Wander if he can do the veil of maya, mowgli bass sweep
is it a piccolo string bass
That's interesting! I've never really seen a sweep with the nail on the down stroke rather than the thumb. Very clean tone too!
Brutal!
00:22 i know that feeling
Tutorial please. ????
Sweep fingering
Must be hard with the strings spread apart
Man I envy your hand size
I've adapted sweeping with my thumb as I would with a pick.
wow you are great
Cool. Is it a bass or guitar though?
Jezas those long spider fingers were made to rape fretboards
I've seen it all…
INSANE
that was dope
what effect?
When's this tutorial coming? Excited!
a tutorial for this would be sick. would this even be possible on a 4 string lol
does a tab for this exist? if so so can someone link it
awesome
Have you tabbed this
would love to see a tutorial or even some tabs for just the pattern
Love the sound of that pattern! And would defs like to see it done on a 4 string so I can try it – watching that makes me wanna go work it out 🙂
