nightwind old Join Date: May 2003 Location: Bliss	Harmonizing artificial harmonics. Their is a classical piece I came across, where this ocurrs. ****ing beautiful. For acoustic or classical players, slap the body of the guitar while you play a rhythm. Make sure it's a jumpy fast one, and it always gets your groove going. Learn how to strum without using a pick. I don't mean like, strumming with your fingers as if they were holding a pick, I mean upstrokes with the thumb, and down with the fingers. If you can get a decent rasgueado going, you'll have a great time playing rhythm this way. Rasgueado __________________ Don't tell me what can not be done Don't tell me what can be done, either.

Thanks Oh and Slash_620, Morello uses an Allen Rench for that track. Druing the verse he scratches the strings to create a B/C type pitch if you get me. __________________ Kisses and cuddles.

LVKE NAVMANN Viðrar Vel Til Loftárása Join Date: Apr 2004 Location: Missouri	One day I was just sitting around with my eletric and I grabbed a capo and starting sliding it across the strings like you would with a violen bow. It sounded kind of like space ship from a sci-fi movie.

Just using it now, and its amazing. __________________ My website - Contact Me Last edited by slash_pwns : 06-11-2005 at 06:17 PM.

Freepower v It's Back! :D Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Dublin	^ why thank you! Bloody hell, i better not see you on TV shredding your ass off with my fave idea. If you want something to do, use a small part of the arp, say, the 3 notes, and add onto the end of it each time you use it. Start with a 3 string sweep, then a 5, then a 6, then a 6 and tap, then a four octave monster to finish off. Thats my dream lick! __________________ >>> Technique <<< Youtube (Lessons + Music) Music Theory for Complete Beginners onwards... Further theory with "Josh"... Lessons in Dublin? More than 30 MP3s

Location: I am Ra. You are perceptive.

Alright, to really appreciate why I love this so much, you probably need to hear it... so I threw it up on my dmusic site as Cool Scuff.

We were playing a show up in malibu, and during the sound check my lead guitarist palmed over the neck with her left hand, and started drumming on the neck of the guitar, two handed. Came up with a very percussive sound... was the first time I'd ever seen anybody do this.

I was lucky enough to have a recorder on the channel at the time, and I like dove across the control room to hit record, nothing was set and we weren't really ready, so the levels aren't great (you might need to turn it up a bit).

In the recording she ****s up right about the 50s mark... but still pretty incredible. You can barely hear it in the recording, but the high noise is her lining up harmonics on her left as she's playing this rhythm.

So, I couldn't get the levels right, and ended up not recording the actual show. She played this as a fill (and nailed it) over a drum solo to end the show. When she had the distortion on... very crazy, very ****ing cool. Absolutely incredible.

I'm not sure drumming on your neck is exactly good for your guitar... but wtf, it sounds cool.

Edit: In retrospect--this would probably be even cooler in an open tuning.

Freepower v It's Back! :D Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Dublin	Cor, i think shes a bettencourt fan, thats pretty nice - he does it slightly better, does a great horse impersonation! Lessee, heres one i've been using today, find fingerings for chords entirely made of harmonics. __________________ >>> Technique <<< Youtube (Lessons + Music) Music Theory for Complete Beginners onwards...

I used as part of a solo for one of my songs

EDIT: Fixed somewhat, but the bars need to be shown too!
