Aggressive Downtuned Pick Playing

[maj10]

I've been playing pretty aggressive music lately, and I noticed the increase in fret buzz. Is this too much? I LOVE fret buzz but it seems that when I play like this the buzz is overpowering the actual notes. Some tips on proper left and right hand technique for playing this kind of music would be great.

I think it sounds pretty sweet. There is one note in the fill around 0:14 that gets drowned out by the buzz. But the rest of the time, I think the buzz contributes to your sound.

I say leave it

If that's too much fret buzz I'm screwed.... sounds good to me

 

[Nalte]

Just curious... What bass are you using?

 

[maj10]

Thanks. I guess it does sound pretty cool.
I think everyone gets a little self-concious about their playing every once in a while.

I gotta say, that's a pretty sweet pick tone.

Didn't think there was much buzz at all. A lot of pick slap, but sounded fine to me

Yeah thats not that much buzz, sounds fine to me. I get more when I dig hard with my fingers than with that.

I like it!!! How did you set the EQ on your Sansamp Bass Driver?

This seems like one of those "i'm gonna ask if i'm bad so everyone will say i'm good" threads.

I dont hear much buzz but if you dont like it raise your bridge saddles alittle.

I keep the action a little higher on my "E" string than the rest just so it wont buzz too bad. I tend to play it a little harder than the others.

nice tone ! but i think once you add drums and guitar to a track, it will cover up that nice metallic sound and you will need more of it.
