Advanced Finger Picking on Bass GuitarI am Carl Shepard and I am a professional bass instructor and further along with finger picking and the A pentatonic scale, we will be using both of these fingers and then if you need it to get a little faster you could add the ring finger and use all three fingers to get a little bit faster on your soloing and stuff like that. A popular technique among guitar players is alternate picking as well and this can mimic that with your fingers.

These lessons are very nice for beginning players. Keep up the good work. I've been playing for 35 years. My comment is on using 3 fingers to pick. I find it is not necessary for very fast playing. Personally I can play just as fast with 2 as I can or anyone I've heard using 3. I prefer using 2 as it allows me to use the other 2 for muting.
