I'm watching a live Elvis Presley show from 1972 and it looks like Jerry Scheff is only plucking with his right hand index finger just like James Jamerson. I know Jerry started on upright like Jamerson. . .just wondering if anyone had noticed this before? Dude plays some really busy bass lines which is pretty impressive if he's using only his index finger.
