Im not a musician, but a golden tip for you. Try out some indian classical music, lots of bending and sliding for fretless instruments can be seen there.
there seems to be this idea that someone playing a fretless has to play slides and ragas. It is more than that, it is just a regular guitar and it is not at the same time, anyone that is pushing the envelope must be congratulated. awsome stuff!!
i think the main problem is you don't take advantage of the fretless enough. lots of this could be done on a fretted and all the fretless does is make it sound out of tune. on a brighter note good job. but the fretless was unnecessary
@morbideddie You've hit the nail on the head mate! I've been working on my 'fretlessness' for a while now since this vid...new music is round the corner!
i agree with jozevgates to a degree, but the whole point of the distorted fretless is to get the same sound but with a more unique character to the playing, especially with the sliding and slide vibrato, it sounds more unique and distince and on top of that he uses alot of it
Very Nice !
