African Guitar Swing

Played on my beat-up American Standard Stratocaster.
2 dimarzio HS3 pickups and one dimarzio tele lipstick pickup in the middle... if you're interested

Amazing, this would sound great on acoustic the way Martin Taylor plays his 'Down At Cocomos' with the cardboard between the strings steel drum style. I really feel like trying the plectrum hybrid thing is it just pick and middle finger you use here?

Great to see you making videos again :)

@Blackbooks78

thanks very much.

used to play this on acoustic but found it actually sounds better electric. I tend to use my middle and ring fingers equally.

this shit is dope where did you learn or hear this from

[mikeberk810]

@1992dwayjohn cheers man.

Went to Madagascar a few years ago and heard a simplified version of this tune. The rest came from a never ending need to show off

Love the world music influences. And the right to left hand coordinations is amazing.
