Picking strings with more than two fingers

The article currently says "DiGiorgio is not the only bass player who uses this technique, but he is certainly one of its pioneers." Which is almost certainly nonsense. Many heavy metal bass players in the late 1970s and early 1980s used this technique. Videos exist of Iron Maiden's bass player Steve Harris using this technique as early as 1981 on songs which Iron Maiden are known to have been playing for as many as 4 years. Geezer Butler uses the technique quite clearly on their "Never Say Die" video from 1978. Some of the songs on that video were written in the early 1970s and presumably he used the same technique on the original recording.

Unless DiGiorgio perfected this technique when he was 4 years old then he is unlikely to have been a pioneer and so I am removing this line from the article and replacing it with something more fitting..
