How the hell do you play Overyjoyed?

You guys know Vic's piece, Overjoyed? How the hell do you play this!?

Looking at the powertab I thought it was tapping..but apparently not. Did he record 2 basses for this piece, or is it really just one? I'd love to play this thing..but dammit my fingers can't reach 14 frets, sorry.

I've always heard tapping was the way its done. Where's Wrong Robot when you need him?

That's what I thought. But he plays the slide:

G|-/20----21
D|-----21---

I guess you could do that with tapping, I'd have to practice my coordination for that string slide though...

He does tapped slides. Just hit the note and slide it like a normal slide.

It's not two basses. The whole point of A Show of Hands is that it was all one bass and some voices.

Tat's right, it's all two handed tapping, Just one bass.

It's a really great song, I'll post it sometime if you want to hear someone that's not victor playing it

Ah, thanks guys. I'll have to go by Powertab...

..I would download it, but I'll probably get my ass sued if I do.

Nah, you won't get sued for one song.....

Yeah, it's all tapping. I'm adding this to the list of songs I need to learn

Cheers
