Means that he can fret with all four fingers AND his thumb. Some mental stretches in there!!! isnt that just because hes blind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Double Jack Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 I can do 4 string sweeps and string skipping, but struggle with the full 6 string jobs. I can do a six finger tap though. Any chance of some free lessons Mac? Or a blues jam a la spoonies flat last year? What i lose in technique, i can make up for in improvisation.

Doc Ascension Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 For those up for a challenge, try this.... its the synth sweeps to Bonnie Tyler's classic "Holding out for a Hero" - you can find them in the second chorus. I'm trying to arrange it heavy metal as a possible cover song. There's a fairly good chance that they ain't 100% spot on - I figured them out myself, but they sound pretty decent. -----------------------17-20-17-------------------|--------------------17----------17----------------|--------------14-17----------------17-14----------|-----------14----------------------------14-------|-----12-15----------------------------------15-12-|--12----------------------------------------------|-----------------------17-20-17-------------------|--------------------17----------17----------------|--------------14-17----------------17-14----------|-----------14----------------------------14-------|-----12-15----------------------------------15-12-|--12----------------------------------------------|-----------------------15-19-15-------------------|--------------------15----------15----------------|--------------12-16----------------16-12----------|-----------14----------------------------14-------|-----10-14----------------------------------14-10-|--10----------------------------------------------|-----------------------15-19-15-------------------|--------------------15----------15----------------|--------------12-16----------------16-12----------|-----------14----------------------------14-------|-----10-14----------------------------------14-10-|--10----------------------------------------------|---------------------13-17-13------------------|------------------13----------13---------------|------------12-14----------------14-12---------|---------15----------------------------15------|----8-12----------------------------------12-8-|--8--------------------------------------------|---------------------13-17-13------------------|------------------13----------13---------------|------------12-14----------------14-12---------|---------15----------------------------15------|----8-12----------------------------------12-8-|--8--------------------------------------------|-----------------------12-16-12-------------------|--------------------15----------15----------------|--------------14-17----------------17-14----------|-----------14----------------------------14-------|-----12-14----------------------------------14-12-|--12----------------------------------------------|-----------------------12-16-12-------------------|--------------------15----------15----------------|--------------14-17----------------17-14----------|-----------14----------------------------14-------|-----12-14----------------------------------14-12-|--12----------------------------------------------|-----------------------17-20-17-------------------|--------------------17----------17----------------|--------------14-17----------------17-14----------|-----------14----------------------------14-------|-----12-15----------------------------------15-12-|--12----------------------------------------------|-----------------------17-20-17-------------------|--------------------17----------17----------------|--------------14-17----------------17-14----------|-----------14----------------------------14-------|-----12-15----------------------------------15-12-|--12----------------------------------------------|-----------------------15-19-15-------------------|--------------------15----------15----------------|--------------12-16----------------16-12----------|-----------14----------------------------14-------|-----10-14----------------------------------14-10-|--10----------------------------------------------|-----------------------15-19-15-------------------|--------------------15----------15----------------|--------------12-16----------------16-12----------|-----------14----------------------------14-------|-----10-14----------------------------------14-10-|--10----------------------------------------------|---------------------13-17-13------------------|------------------13----------13---------------|------------12-14----------------14-12---------|---------15----------------------------15------|----8-12----------------------------------12-8-|--8--------------------------------------------|---------------------13-17-13------------------|------------------13----------13---------------|------------12-14----------------14-12---------|---------15----------------------------15------|----8-12----------------------------------12-8-|--8--------------------------------------------|-----------------------12-16-12-------------------|--------------------15----------15----------------|--------------14-17----------------17-14----------|-----------14----------------------------14-------|-----12-14----------------------------------14-12-|--12----------------------------------------------| Good Luck!!! :band: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
