I do not own the rights to this song. This Video is intended for fun educational purposes.
The bassline to Whole Lotta Love by John Paul Jones of Led Zeppeling played with a pick.
I was just recently turned onto the fact that this bass part was played with a pick and promised a video for the awesome student who brought this to my attention.
This riff is filled with opportunities for technique with both hands (and the pick), as well as a little music theory, and a Whole Lotta Rhythm practice. There are only 3 main notes along with ghost notes and multiple strings played in unison.
