What is this technique?

[Artie]

Could someone listen to this short clip, (taken from the SD pup samples page), and tell me what technique this is? Is this hard to do? Is there something I can do to try this, or practice it?

I love this sound, but I have no idea how to do it, or what it is.
(Other than some sort of "tapping" or something.)

Thanks all.

i think he's playing with his pick and fingers

he's using his fingers to pull the strings up so they slap back on the fretboard giving that "pop" sound

that sounds about right to me, he's deff. using his fingers almost like slap bass on guitar

Did you see the TWANG clip posted by Curly? I believe the technique
is called Flatpicking ? Check out that clip! It's Jerry Donahue and they
show close ups of his right hand doing it. As soon as the blisters on
my middle and ring finger heal. I'm gonna give it another shot. :laugh2:

I don't think that there is a pick at all involved...listen closely, he plucks the low and high strings.

Dang, that "Twang" clip is in Real Audio format. I hate to install software just to listen to one clip. :yell:

Wow . . . that was outstanding. :32:

I doubt that I'll ever play like that, but I'ld still like to figure out how to do that "tapping" thang.
