Ok....”Pizzicare” ITALIAN for “to pinch” (with fingers that is..)
Also the the name of the technique of playing an upright with fingers instead of a bow. Can be used with any of the instruments in the String Family..

What would the Italian for "slap" and "pick" be. Not a joke question.

"Aslappa da bass" and "Apica da bass" respectively. Totally a joke answer.

I thought so. But, culture rarely makes it this far west.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Pizzicati=Mexican pizza?

There was a band with a similar name to that. Possibly Asian, seems like at least the singer was an Asian woman. Can't find the band, tho.

Cibo Matto?

Cibo Matto?

No. Much lighter Asian pop sound.

Make it: "Aslappa da basso" and "Apica da basso" and you have perfect Fred Sanford Spanish.

Call me crazy. But this is cool stuff.

Cibo Matto?

Love Cibo Matto - one of them is married to guitarist extraordinaire Nels Cline. I saw them a couple years ago at the (free) Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival here in Golden Gate Park and Nels and bass player Devon Hoff backed them up. It was awesome!

good question, as with most things never a straightforward answer, it would be “bottare” for slap and “a plettro” for picked but for modern techniques the angloisms are used hence “picked” or “slapped”. Pizzicato goes back to the days when all music notation was done in Italian....Allegro, Forte, Fortissimo, Piano, Andante and so on..

Isn’t it Pizzicato?

It is. “Pizzicare” is the standard present form of the verb. Pizzicare= to pinch
Pizzicato = pinched

Jeez, we need more Thunderbirds........

Phil's voice sounds great here, RIP Paul Raymond.

 

[JJR58]

Pizzicare= to pinch
Pizzicato = pinched

I must be the one to digress.

They played here in Providence at The Met years ago, they were just kids. One of the girls played bass, fretting with her thumb. They were fun.
