Sign in to disble this ad
Only ones i know are:
Matt Riddle (No Use For A Name)
Guy from Lagwagon
Dude from Hot Water Music.
These guys are the only 3 i know who play punk fingerstyle, i think its a rarity to see a punk playing fingerstyle.
But mention all of those guys you know about!
peace
P.S. Matt Riddle plays with two or three fingers? |

And Mike Watt is damn awesome. |

I can't for the life of me remember any other acts that play fingerstyle predominantly.

I just rediscovered In On The Kill Taker, my favorite Fugazi record from way back, and damn if they don't have some incredible tones. |

I know there are more...but I just can't think of any at the moment. Fingerstyle punk bassists are rare. It's a shame. |
