Just tried by looking at tabs on the net. theres 2 variations. the

55555555
00000000 or there is

12 12 12 12 12 12 12
x x x x x x x
10 10 10 10 10 10 10

Either way, this guy looks like he is playing all strings.. i cant even get the sound when i play just those 2 strings.

How do i do it? please?

Do you dampen the centre string? just wondering ..

 

[nitrovo]

yeah but i always hit the other strings so its sounds like a really messy powerchord

 

[Nefianz]

check the tuning? he may not b using standard tuning..

12 12 12 12 12 12 12
x x x x x x x
10 10 10 10 10 10 10

 

[nitrovo]

the problem is, i always hit the other strings around it, so it sounds messy.

You need to imagine its like a
12
10
10
chord, but instead of fretting both the 10th frets with the same finger (i presume your first finger), you just fret the low 10 properly and for the 10 above it, kinda angle the first finger so its lightly touching it and preventing it from ringing out. Dont know if that made sense

He knows that drewgie .. Im guessing he means that it sounds jumbled when he does that .. I know, i've experienced it before too .. im thinking too much gain could cause something like that to happen ...
