Its possible. I can fingerpick faster than my guitarist, and he sits around practicing Necrophagist songs all day...so that's kinda saying something. I tap my fingers almost all the time to keep up my speed. Its all about practice.
EDIT: And I only use 3 fingers, because my pinky is fucked up after I broke it as a kid and it hurts to bend it, so I can't use it to play bass. |
