where he slides his hand very quickly and a sound comes out..
But i dun understand how he did it and i dunno what this technique called..
how to do this and does this require any effects??

erm... put on distortion and high gain. then pick+slide. sure have sound come out. if u are playing clean, its very hard to do tat, but is possible with training

Yeah, it's just a normal guitar with high gain distortion and a slide.

i see, i couldnt make any sound before this too
btw I also couldnt do any harmonic what pick then use thumb to touch it a bit

im using microcube too..
but i cant get that sound
can u try on ur amp ?

i fail to do it too lol

It's a simple slide.
Just barr a fret on the high end, pick, and then slide down.....
Make sure your distortion level is quite high.

if u are refering to the high gain distortion. u can do it with microcube. just put on classic, then max gain, max tone, then adjust volume. tats how i do it. but the gain can be anywhere from half till max

i think i manage to get it abit when set it to classsic xD

btw wat about harmonic? I cant even get a clear idea wat is it
now search on youtube...

i tot harmonic is a technique for classical player?

i think he means artificial harmonic ??
that quite hard to learn too.. hmm.. kaka

back to my topic...
i nvr try with classic tho... i will try this tonite.. hope i can get it..
i reli hope i can play that solo ... but i dun hav the tab.. anyone can tab it plz ? lolz

A natural harmonic is achieved by lightly barring certain notes/frets and let it ring out......

Artificial harmonics (sometimes known as pinch harmonics) is where you lightly graze the side of your thumb right after you pick a note, ie: pinching it.



For me, I'm a student of the Zakk Wylde method:





But in order to learn that right, you'll need lots of beer and a fake beard.

Whoa! Thanks for the info!

But harmonics have nothing to do with the slide technique. You just barr a fret, strum it, and then slide your hand down.

To blacktrix
when slide back.. do we still ahv to press hard on the string?
if yes.. den my hand will very pain loh..haha
jkjk

Of course you have to press hard........
Too light and the strings can't buzz......

I tried to press hard on the string and max out the gain
and I did get the sliding sound.. only.. it sounds diff with the 1 in the vid ..lolz.........

i think is again trial and error....... lolz

same here actually

it sounds not really alike with wat the others do xD mine more like the gain is too big and when i slide my hand the sound will automatically come out

wat guitar u using ?

im using gsa60. ibanez's. max gain, max tone on classic. its a sure ring. mayb perhaps ur finger is not strong enough? try train with kapok
