Herman Li's techniques

[2359hrs_]

Hey, I'm interested to know how Herman Li does his pac-man sounds and the whammy+harmonics raping.

Sounds exceptionally great when it's him doing it, like on Through the Fire and Flames.

Anyone who knows how to play like him? Pls Respond!

there are couple of his clips on youtube that have him teaching how to do those thing, just do a search round there.

Actually there are people who posted the links in the forum here also. Just do a search round

Note that some of the techniques are really... erm... well, impractical to do live.

If you like such sounds and stuff... its worth checking out Ron Thal and Mattias Elkundh.

I'm thinking of emulating the whammy move where he lifts the whole guit by the bar and wiggles the whole thing after playing a harmonic.

it's super wicked!

wow matthias is awesome! not played this kind of music before, seems cool.

hahaha... yeah, he is... a pity he is not as recognised as he should be: he's what I deem the new wave of rock music... Frankly, its because of him and his band, Freak Kitchen, that make me realise how bad current rock music is. Totally underrated.

Lol true true, mainstream is taking over the market seriously.

It's sad but true
