What technique would you use to play this song? Pick? 3 finger? I have only been playing for a 1 1/2 years and that songs freaks me out when I hear the bass. If anyone knows of a video of someone playing it, I would love to see it. |

btw, i think the Alice in Chains + Gretchen Wilson cover takes the cake for best version of this song!!
HOLLAR!!!

Another singer that blew me away singing Baracuda was Fergie. Again, I didn't know she could really sing because of the material she normally sings. However, she sang with Heart on the AI gives back show. It was great. Plus she was doing one hand cart wheels. lol.

And she did the one hand cartwheels, while singing into the mike at the same time!!

| | | | Nice song. Just tried to play it last night on electric guitar but missed the whammy.
Quick question on playing the verse: how do you make the odd timing feel more natural?
What I'm counting now is something like this:
[1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 :] (edit: this not the whole verse, starting on the bar after "So", playing under "this aint the end -
I saw you again today/I had to turn my heart away", another 2 bars of gallops follow, then repeat once, then come the other parts which are mostly easier).
Where I'm galloping 1-2-3-4 1-2-3-4-5 (last gallop is replaced with open eight note), then play C note on the "1", then play leading notes on the last 2-3-4.
Should I count it differently?
