Blues bassplayers using picks
Sign in to disble this ad
Hi!
I can't find such guys anywhere.
So please write 'em here and give examples from youtube etc.

I'm really curious about such bassplayers because it's rather rare to see a bluesman play the bass with a pick!

Berry Oakley, although I wouldn't really call him a blues bassist.

The awesome Tommy Shannon alternates between fingers and pick. Watch the "Live at El Macambo" DVD lots of good shots of Tommy and Chris.
