    1:19 I play both the guitar and the viola so I've tried to use my bow on the guitar of course. To say it ruins your strings is an understatement. You'll never get rid of the resin so unless you can afford to hire a roadie to change your string for you, get a second guitar for bowing (preferably an archtop with a floating bridge) or learn how to use an eBow.
    2:00 You can get a much better crossed string snare drum effect if you dampen the strings a bit and play a downstroke with another finger, not the thumb. If you know how to play rasgueado or a very fast single finger back-and-forth strumming, you can get a really convincing drum roll. It's usually better to put the A string on top of the E string than the other way round and where you fret the crossed strings make a huge difference to the sound. Don't worry about breaking the strings, you have to be very careless for that to happen. You may need to tune the guitar afterwards though.
    2:26 I use the B and G strings for this. It works on an acoustic guitar too if you're careful how you fret and strike. A third crossed strings efect is to use the top two strings and just thrash it - sounds absolutely horrible but in a cool way. ^_^
    2:42 Steve Hackett wears a steel ring on his little finger to create a slightly different string scraping effect. It's become one of this trademarks and really worth trying.
    3:17 Nice pronounciation, don't worry! ^_^
    4:22 Here's another really cool prepared guitar effect: Take a peace of thin metal wire (a straightened out paperclip will do but ideally you want somthing slightly softer and thinner). Weave it around the strings close to the bridge (above the 6th string, under the 5th, above the 4th etc). Gives a really cool steel drum like sound. The closer you can get the wire to the bridge the better the intonation will be but it will always sound a bit out of tune.
    Oh, and two more paperclip tricks:
    1. Put a paperclip on a string and make sure it doesn't tocuh any other strings. Gives a really eerie chime/gong sound.
    2. Out a paperclip on one string and let touch lightly a neighbor string. Strike the string the paperclip is attached to and fret the one it touches. If you do it right, you get a really nice although very soft tremolo effect.

    Tony Levin uses the drumstick technique on bass, he even made a specialized version for it called the funk fingers. Two sticks that strap to your fingers. Works better with bass in general and sounds really cool when done correctly

    Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead used a bow on his 70's Fender Starcaster, notably on "Pyramid Song". On the KID AMNESIA box set released in 2021, there's a track called "Pyramid Strings" where you can hear it very clearly.
    Jimmy Page is famous for using his bow in the middle of "Dazed and Confused" as well as "How Many More Times".

    I cant tell you how much I hated that tapping open string acoustic guitar stuff.
    It was huge back in the day and I feel like it was something that got SO much attention for being a neat trick that it helped usher us into an era where a lot of guitar is just neat things on instagram for 30 seconds of content other than actual songs.

    • @AnnoyingOrange420
      @AnnoyingOrange420 Год назад +2

      That’s how I feel now as a bass player, slapping has always been a way to draw attention but in recent years it’s become a cheap gimmick because of people online. Davie504 is ridiculously skilled, but equally unfunny, I couldn’t mention bass without someone saying SLAPP or asking if it’s ok to PICC. It was worse a couple years ago but still annoying
      Seinfeld too, I have to explain to everyone over 40 that yes I can slap, but I don’t do it much, and no I do not know the Seinfeld theme.

    Well I think that if each one of these techniques is well used and does serve the music, all of them could possibly reach S tier, without mentioning the others such as violoning, artificial harmonics, tuning while playing, the use of kill switch or even letting the wind play !

    If you put tapping, you have to put sweep picking, and also, sweep picking w/ tapping (I don't mean tapping an entire arpeggio in a sweep picking style, more of the Michael Angelo Batio kind, where you do a sweep then at certain parts you add a tapped note, then there's also his extended version of this technique, where he adds a slide after the tapped note)
    so in guitar tab:
    h t p p
    e|--------------12--15---17--15--12-------------|
    b|--------13----------------------------------13------|
    g|--12----------------------------------------------12|
    and the MAB extension
    h t s s p p
    e|--------------12--15---17--18--17--15--12-------------|
    b|--------13----------------------------------------------13------|
    g|--12----------------------------------------------------------12|
    h= hammer-on
    p= pull-off
    s= slide
    t= tap
