Mudvayne- Happy? question

Sign in to disble this ad
during the chorus, when he's doing the crazy tab stuff, how does he do that? i realize what tapping is but the sound that he gets is just so cool. i would like to do that so if anyone can maybe give me some pointers or tips that would be great. if u have the tab for it too that would be greatly appreciated. thanks again.

From an Interview Bass Player did with him:

Quote:
Did you employ any new techniques on this record?
I’m not a pedal guy, but I like the sound that people get from octave pedals. So, to organically create that effect, I used my right-hand middle and index fingers to tap two strings at once: I come down on the strings fairly hard so they actually bounce off of the neck. That way I create some top-end click, but I retain the tonality. At the same time, I use my left hand to hold and/or move the octave. I can do it in walking form, single-note form, or whatever. The whole chorus of “Happy?” uses that technique.
