I can't do it either. JimmyM 05-03-2007, 01:45 AM Definitely Rocca's fingers, but that's a typical P-bass with flats sound he had. Not that hard to recreate. Now the playing on the other hand, you're on your own there! wordsmith4u 05-03-2007, 07:09 AM The main difference in Rocco's sound is that he mainly plays with his index finger while muting the strings with the rest of his fingers. It's tough to learn, and there's definitely a ton of movement, but once you get it down, that sound is sweet! threshar 05-03-2007, 07:22 AM on his bassday 98 vid he talks about it. For the most part, his ring & pinky finger are muting, while index & middle do the fretting. In that video he isn't doing too much muting. But muting is the key to rocco. Oh yeah, and 16th notes :) The P bass he typically plays also helps out. VroomVroom 05-03-2007, 10:17 AM Ah, Rocco is so awesome! I haven't seen that in years....I love it. Threshar nailed it...mute, ghost, and be happy on the 16ths. need4mospd 05-03-2007, 01:37 PM Standard notation for this one found here! http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=261285 |
