Cody Wright - Tip of the Month

[@MrMarekbH]

Great tips, Cody. I´ve been one of these finger style conservatives for years and because of you and Bobby Vega I am starting new pick-style chapter. All the bass.

[@theshipissinkingno6056]

just watched a video by this cat a few mins ago. All the respect in the world for mentioning Bobby vega. So many cats on youtube giving "tips" and don't honor/mention the giants on whose shoulders they stand that allows them to see farther

[@MrMjp58]

A great player and great demo. I might have a chance of doing something vaguely like this. I could never do the slapping/thumb-strike thing.

[@TheFriendlyPsychopath]

Big Ups to Cody for breaking Bobby Vegas code and showing us!

[@BestBassTabs]

Such a cool player !!

[@jared_s2]

string crossing, especially string skipping is so difficult at first. what a crazy amount of skill you have acquired. really good work Cody.

[@Flornmonk]

Those are some great influences!

[@ts4gv]

Something that helped me get a good sound out of a pick is learning to be aggressive. Much more so than my fingerstyle technique.

[@gimmeagig]

Great lesson, thanks!

[@stevenordstedt2535]

I use to play with a pick for about 10 years. And was a big Fan of Chris Squire of YES. But I felt I wanted to be a complete bass player. And being also a Big Fan of Geddy Lee of RUSH and a lead singer/Bass player to. I started playing with my fingers like Geddy,Flea and Jeff Beck. And many other great bass players. Plus you can’t Slap with a pick just doesn’t sound the same. I’m glad I can play both. It’s made me a much better player.

Just found you through Scott... killer chops and musicality. I'd love to also know if anyone else has a Zon bass or can say anything about them. Looking for something light. I had a nice Sadowski that was left in SD. Drag.

[@hahabass]

I like this fella. One for the future.... Mind you, shit, he's doing it right now.

[@sportcompactdc5]

What about Carol Kaye?

[@BIGeSTRING]

Wow a real good tip Cody. It's more like drumming on the strings

[@benmadi]

You'd make a fantastic drummer too

[@jmv668]

Very good!!

[@gcf7175]

[@EliullGameplays]

I liked this guy when he mentioned Stevie Ray Vaughan

[@EliullGameplays]

+Elias Ulrich But yeah, Stevie Ray Vaughans picking style really is something special.

[@MrDaigoRiki]

You are a bassist and also percussionist.

[@Jimpotamus]

I use this technique myself as I'm a pick player. One question, do you really need the FretWrap if you're using a palm mute style ?

[@matthewthomas1704]

Yes. dampened sound regardless

[@DarkMetalJazzPunk]

IMHO the king of using a pick in electric bass is Carles Benavent.

[@CarlosRodriguez-vn9nf]

Dude I just looked him up. He is amazing thank you. Now I have another pick bassist to watch and learn

[@CarlosRodriguez-vn9nf]

Thanks
