| | | | I think you pick the string as usual, but instead of fretting a note you just lay your fingers on the string so it has a kinda muted, thudding sound. The sound can be quite different depending on where you deaden the string, and the tab never actually tells you where to lay your fingers. Well I think thats how it's done anyhows!! It's what I do. Mr Pastorius does it quite alot, at tempo, and he gets a lovely frothey bubbly sound! |

For the 0/5 slide, start with your finger resting on the nut and just slide up to the 5th fret. A little practice will get you feeling comforatble with it in no time. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
