swlabr Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Well, I'm taking guitar class and my teacher was saying that when we play too fast and let go of the note quicky, it will sound kinda "run-off." Like uhh, the note just suddenly ends and sounds nasty (I do it every one in a while ). So the questions is, how come we have these fast shredders, i.e Buckethead, that play so fast the fretboard catches on fire, and the notes sound just fine. He barely leaves his finger on the note for a nano-second. I don't get it. Please explain someone.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevdo242 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Just practise. You have to have a lot of free time and patience to do that stuff. Personally I think shredding is overated. To an extent its good but if you use it to much, it loses its affect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepsun Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 its about matching your left hand with your right hand. Pick each note on time..the exact time you fret it.Slash leans towards the opposite. He picks less often than there are notes, by using hammerons and pulloffs.

Please explain someone..<{POST_SNAPBACK}>What i think your talking about is when you play fast and theres a gap between the last note you played and the next note youll play. To play more flowingly place practice and it's about coordenation really.Its hard to explain really, sorry, just practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepeterry Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 another thing you can do is play once with the pick and hammer 3 or 4 notes on the same string. This is a technique used a lot by satriani and vai, because this sounds not like million of picking, but only one picking for giving power and lots of notes in it. I think it is hard to explain but if you see some videos you could appreciate the technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
