    What I find impressive is that he's making the pizzicato notes by tapping. It sounds as crisp as normal pizzicato, but nope, he's just ramming his fingers into the fingerboard.

    • @swiftlymurmurs
      @swiftlymurmurs 27 дней назад

      As a technique it's pretty common in electric guitar (it's called finger tapping) but that's way easier on an amplified instrument. These cello strings are THICK and it takes some serious momentum to properly hammer them like this
