xilddx Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 There's some holes in his thinking and application, but it's f***ing cool.

Geek99 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Just listened for two minutes or so; will listen more in my break but it seems pretty good. Certainly possible to apply it to bass as well as The Dark Side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number6 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I think that most players practice.....but the correct practice does not come naturally to everyone, therefore rudimentary videos such as this as very useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
