Question a little help with Anesthesia...

Sign in to disble this ad
What is the proper way to fret this part?

G:------10-14----10-14----10-14----10-14----10-14---
D:*--12-------12-------12-------12-------12-------12-
A:*----------------------------------------------------
E:-----------------------------------------------------

I am thinking it is :

12= ring
10= index
14= pinky

but that is a huge stretch for me and it doesn't feel very comfortable. Is there a better way?

THANKS

wow anestesia.. i forgot how much fun that solo is to play.

anyway, the way i play it is middle on the d string then 10 on the g is my index and then pinky on the 14.

the easier way to play it is 12 on the d with index, 15 on the d with either your middle or pinky finger (whatever is more comfortable for you) and then 14 on the the g with your middle or ring (depending on weather you use your pinky or ring for the 15th fret.) its a minor arpeggio repeated.

I play it the way heretic described it, using ring, index, and pinky, but you can use whatever's comfortable
