WHat is the Effect you are using ?

[neosonic66]

@dayji the only effect being used is just a little touch of reverb, nothing else

[HamPieProductions]

why dont you use ur fingers. i always played with a pick and it took me like a week to learn the beginning to the end of the first solo with my fingers. its fairly easy. it sounds alot better too

[neosonic66]

I explained that in the beginning of the video. I assumed that most people are used to playing with a pick, not their fingers, so I taught it from that perspective. I also assumed that a person experienced with fingerpicking could easily transpose this lesson to accommodate that style, since the left hand wouldn't change at all. This way the lesson was accessible by both inexperienced, and more seasoned players. When I perform this, I play with my fingers.

everyone asking for tabs ,,,, FUCKING GOOGLE IT !!

[BoogyWoogyCreep]

That was a good lesson, but I think something is lost by playing with a pick. I've tried this solo over the years, and it never seems to sound right without the proper finger picking. Just my opinion!

Thanks a lot! for the lesson, terrific!!!

Fantastic lesson! You explain the pick thing right off the bat, yet an endless parade of dumbasses is leaving comments about how you're supposed to fingerpick.

@tigermale indeed he is good... but i think it's rather the clear tone of the fender that left you speechless :)
