Forgot about this guy, he is really good. Also the bassist from Decapitated plays a six string bass finger style.
Not much footage besides Cliff 'Em All for help from him. The thread originator was looking for people to watch to help him learn better technique.
Definitely Billy Sheehan, even though he's more into rock music. He's the one to look forward for fast 3 finger picking technique. Watch his 3 instructional videos on guitar.com.
Steve Digiorgio is easily my favorite metal bassist but his 3 finger technique is not really better than playing with 2 fingers.
P.s. Sheehan's instruction videos can also be found on google video.

Oh yes, oh yes, she's awesome
And she's a permanent member, or so the singer told me
30 posts and no mention of Ron Royce from Coroner?!?!?!?!?! They have a couple of live concert videos. I used to have one. They were awesome, and he could absolutely shred his Esh fingerstyle!!!! Check them out.

i thought he played with a pick? wasnt he the guy who tuned his bass EAEA cuz the DG strings were stupid, and had the extra E and A strings just incase the otherones broke?

GAHHHHHHHHHH man! I missed out on this thread! I mention him like every other thread!!!!!!
One of my all time faaaaaavorite bassists. Not too much room for him to really establish a voice in Coroner mostly just high-speed guitar doubling with some really nice fills here and there. What really impresses me is his accuracy while simultaneously singing, even on simpler-but-more-primal numbers like "Internal Conflicts" on Grin.
I also love his note-for-note doubling on the last part of the intro to "Die By My Hand" or the mind-boggling interlude to "Mistress of Deception."
Coroner is just beyond amazing.
Also, what about Roger Patterson, and Lars K. Norberg? Great players.
i saw jerry in lisbon some3years ago and he played the all gig with fingers and i have seen recent pics and a dvd of him playing with fingers...maybe he uses them both changed is mind etc...as4 that crazy EAEA tunning i'll have to study but i dont think so...
Dave Pybus is a finger player too.Ex-Anathema,Ex-Cradle of Filth,I don't know what he's doing these days.
