Betcha Can't Play This with Andy Wood (of Down from Up)
Related Content
“THIS A TAPPING RUN in that incorporates string skipping and a couple of fret-hand finger slides. It’s based on the A natural minor scale [A B C D E F G], but the notes are organized into arpeggios, which imply some interesting ‘tall’ chord sounds. Although it is played in steady 16th notes, it sounds and feels out of time because of the unusual melodic contour.
“When skipping to another string, often the first note is hammered on ‘from nowhere’ by one of the fret-hand fingers [indicated by ‘H’]. Strive for an even attack and volume note to note, making each hammer-on quick and firm. When pulling off, flick the string slightly sideways, in toward the palm. I tap a couple of the notes on the high E string with my ring finger, which makes the jumps across the strings a little easier. Mute the strings you’re not playing on with your pick-hand palm to keep them from ringing.
“The lick ends with a big bend on the B string, which I perform by tapping the string then bending it upward with both hands, using the fret hand’s fingers to help the tapping finger bend the string.”

This is a fantastic tutorial you managed to put up. I was going to ask for a video tutorial on how to do the flicking of the strings, but 'lo and behold, I didn't need to ask. Hope to see more tutorials.

Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this site. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's tough to get that "perfect balance" between superb usability and visual appearance. I must say you have done a awesome job with this. Additionally, the blog loads very fast for me on Safari. Excellent Blog! Thanks! Attic Ladder Reviews | Idalia Rebusi

I'm really enjoying the theme/design of your blog. Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility issues? A small number of my blog visitors have complained about my site not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera. Do you have any ideas to help fix this issue?

You need to make the hammer hard and firm. Silky_p did you reed this. I think it is worth having a look at some videos on the net which give you advice and step by step on how to hammer on properly. Time your playing with the Casio Pathfinder 5000-1 it will help you to stay in time and help you out with this. Give it a go and see what you think.

This has always been one of my struggles when it comes to playig a song like this. I enjoy the teachings but if I can't get this simple thing sorted then there is not much hope for me. I have been fishing with my Shimano Talica ii a fair bit lately so I am getting some good finger strengths. Other then that I think I maybe should just practic some more.
