      @dylanmusicman21 10 лет назад +2

      ikr, it's because he uses his other fingers,too. It's kinda hard to see but if you look you can see something

      Delta Nein Strandberg has been around since 1982. I don't know if you can rightly still think of them as a startup.

    • @chadzook123
      @chadzook123 9 лет назад

      Delta Nein Ibanez isn't a company, just a name slapped on the headstock of many guitars… Show me the Ibanez factories where they make the signatures, the customs, the high end Ibbyz… No sirreeeee. I should say show me a factory where they actually build them.Strandberg, at least Ola's Strandberg's blow Ibanez away without a doubt… As for the Washburn Strandbergs well, that's up to you if you want one. I personally wont pay that money for one unless it's made by Ola and I aint waiting that long. Kiesel/Carvin Vader all day, Mine is Koa neck and body, flamed Koa top. Cost me less than a Washburn/Stranberg and is the most ridiculous guitar i've ever seen. Look em up!

  • @SkinUnzipper
    @SkinUnzipper 12 лет назад +1

    I believe this is that wooten slap technique where each thumb slap strikes the string then lifts up like a pop so for that riff he is alternating between the two low strings in a down up down up sort of thing while popping the higher stuff with (i think) multiple fingers in a different rhythm

    • @terasets1144
      @terasets1144 8 лет назад +5

      i just started with tht begining from an infinite reggression and repeated it a billion times for some minutes a day lol, after some months it randomly clicked (still needs work tho).
      though what i can say worked for myself is extending your thumb as far back as possible to keep it some what sturdy. if u still wanna know lol

    • @sexy350Zowner
      @sexy350Zowner 8 лет назад +1

      +テラフオーム thanks for the info! I learned the intro to earth departure and for me, the sound is still very soft but then again I have minimum gear so I guess you need a specific gear to make it sound more agressive

    • @terasets1144
      @terasets1144 8 лет назад +1

      ooooooohh yes u do lol, i notice a difference through the ipad and amp but can still use somethng better myself, gd luck

    • @azzans
      @azzans 7 лет назад +1

      Gotta slap harder, once u get use to it, then it sounds really good.
      Imagine as if you're trying to hit the string underneath the string you're actually striking.
      Then hook the string on the way back up.

      It would be the same thing with less diversity... an 8 string is already half a bass.

    • @Greenevil89
      @Greenevil89 10 лет назад +1

      Delta Nein I'm pretty sure he'd have a different approach. I thought the same thing but then again nvr know til you try. The feel and tone of bass is significantly different from a guitar so i'd expect he notice a difference in the way he hears and executes himself

  • @4stringFanatico
    @4stringFanatico 12 лет назад

    @mitchellolol the thumb is a double thump (one stroke down, the second stroke up, like an upick literally) stroke 3 is his index pop and 4 is his middle pop

  • @ainsbass
    @ainsbass 12 лет назад

    @6project6nightmare6 Nope, Its the up and down of his thumb, then his index and middle fingers popping. so groups of 4 notes. he demonstrates in a guitar clinic video he did its really really cool!

  • @MFKitten
    @MFKitten 13 лет назад

    @NickoTheGuitarist He shows it in some videos on youtube somewhere. He's inspired by victor wooten for that stuf. basically, two of the slaps are from the thumb, and then two of the slaps are actually plucks using his index. then the cycle resets. Maybe he also incorporates his middle and/or ring finger to get more notes.
    The videos i've seen are ones where he does awesome triplets, where he does a thumb slap, a thumb pluck pulls it back up), and then plucks with the index.

    @azertyuiop7893 12 лет назад

    @ACDCwarmachine he's using a weird bass slapping thing, he explained it in a video. Its like his thumb goes up and down on the string wich makes two notes and when the index of his left and tap the string it makes one more note and for the rest he's popping the string after he make the double slap with his thumb. it's something like this if i got i right
