Don't seem like proper technique and could cause stress injuries really while imitating a "hang loose" sign. |

| | | | I saw a video once of a guy that perfected the technique and he had crazy, ridiculous speed and accuracy with it. He was using it in a metal context, but it can obviously be used for anything. I do it sometimes but only on the lowest string. I think Robert Trujillo does it also.

that said, compared to all the other techniques,... why stop at thumb and pinky, why not use all the fingers like that youtube video has

| | | | My drummer likes to do it when he's dinking around on one of my basses, can't really see where it has potential but to each his own i guess. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
