So how / if you do, pop on the E / A strings and make it sound good? is it just one of those things where you have to have strong fingures and just practice the heck out of it?
-thx |
I Love popping the lower strings adds another sound I guess I just use a kind of muted note pluck dont really know what to call it anyway I'll try and explain it which could be a mission for me alright here goes
When you pop lets say using your leftfinger to fret the note A on the E-string ( 5th fret )
use your middle finger to pop the note while in doing so also with your index ( first ) finger use it to mute the string then quickly transfer both your rightfingers simultaneously off the string in doing this you should get a muted A sounding popped note
Its kinda similar to Jaco's way of playing false harmonics but instead your poping
Heres another tip when youve used the technique incorprate some slides after your attacked note followed by a slap ( using your thumb )
But anyway ENJOY
Hope Ive explained it clearly although showing this technique in person would be much easier
Anyway PLUCK PLUCK PLUCK on
