Your videos need to be LOUDER

[mrCHLENSSS]

THNX to You, Sir!!! You help me play same tech like You have!!!

[gianluca186]

wizard! i would like a make you two question: 1) is correct play with this tecnique on pick up instead on ramp? 2) are there phrase's build with a combination of three fingers and four fingers? thanks ciao

@Eric1396 Nukebass is sort of correct, I play this technique up to quite a high tempo without a ramp, having said that, depending on the size of your pickups, they can act as a sort of ramp. The Warwick 6 in my profile shot has reasonably wide soapbars, so I can get away with it. However it does make it much harder if you just have single coils, your fingers just fall through the string :) Hope this helps!

@gianluca186 I tried to do that while playing death metal, adding p on top of a-m-i (classical guitar fingering), really hard to get it to sound consistent...

What Matt does here is astounding!!! not only playing with four fingers fast and consistent, he can stroll around different strings. Needs a lot of practice and mind-blowing exercises... Nicely done :-)

[gianluca186]

great and brilliant !! ..but is possible and is correct play with right hand to start ring, middle , index and thumb?

[nukebass]

@Eric1396 Virtually yes.

[Eric1396]

Is it necessary to have a ramp for this technic?
