I started learning it tonight. I know it all, but I dunno how to finger that one part properly. It occurs three times in the piece, but I dunno how it should be fingered, so its annoying me.

Members fatfat Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 Do it the PG way.. string skip it. *shrugs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members noseminer Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 I hate those kind of sweeps, I just angle my index finger to play them and mute the previous string. Sounds worse than usual but it doesnt feel uncomfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 4nkam Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 Is that how it's played? I've been learning it the wrong way. I knew it sounded off, but I Thought maybe it's cuz I can't play it anywhere near the original tempo MJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members StringBreaker Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 Originally posted by Random Hero I also thought about using it this way, but it's not TOO clean sounding.. Thats down to your technique then,you have to *roll* your finger over the strings, it is pretty hard to do actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KingKabong Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 I'd use just my index finger and roll it. That's the method Troy Stetina teaches in the Speed Mechanics book. It's definitely not easy to make it sound clean, but I'm sure it will with more practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members keithb Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 I roll my index finger - not that I can play it cleanly or up to tempo There are some similar sweeps in Tony MacAlpine's "Hundreds of Thousands" if you want more practice.

Members Mr. Bungle Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 I roll my finger for that 12th fret sweep, and on a good day I can play it cleanly and fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
