Asking a noob qns..

do you actually pick all the notes or just pick once and tab on the fretboard? ( don't know what this technique called..)

 

[daryl]

it's called legato. well you can do either depending on the situation.

 

[shredrat]

what if u wanna play scales quickly? do u tap or pick 1 note by 1 note?

 

[Black_Death]

depends..like slash..he does hammer ons and pull offs..

well..it depends la..both have a diff feel and sound to it.

its more of variation..i tink.

 

[shredrat]

i see...thanks alot...anyway,is legato part of shredding?

 

[ShredCow]

Shredding is playing extremely fast.

Legato is a technique used to play.

So is economy picking, alternate picking, tapping, string skipping, sweeping, etc etc.

 

[shredrat]

i see...thanks alot.

 

[bluepowder]

quick..who can tell me which song this is from :lol:

 

[MadWerewolfBoy]

he looks like he used alternate picking and a lot of legato in between...

so fast i can see shit...

haha is it possible to play like this with strictly alternate picking? if so, how long can ur right hand last vibrating like that?

 

[edo83]

Steve Morse could rip arpeggios at about 192bpm with strict alternate picking, so i guess it could be done. Imo, it's all about the player's choice on which tones you favor more....ask Shredcow about my favourite :lol:

Shawn Lane could really play some good piano too!

 

[nkubi87]

may i ask wads the diff between economy & alternate picking? thanks.

 

[daryl]

alternate means you pick updownupdown or downupdownup strictly. economy means you pick either up or down depending on the shortest distance to the string.

....ask Shredcow about my favourite :lol:
