Do you mean with your right hand finger-tips? Like tremolo on classical guitar? I haven't been able to translate the tremolo technique too well on to electric (the strings are too close together), but it is a cool sound, I should work on it...

 

Oh yeah, just thought of Michael Hedges doing that with flat fingers rather than finger-tips to get a strange percussive sound before hammering-on a chord. Seems to work best on steel string acoustic.

 

Hmmm, going to make strange noises on my acoustic...

Yeah, probably something like that. Just sit down and work on it, right? With a nome and everything.

i remember an interview with the bassist from the Who.. ehm ARGH cant remember his name john entwistle.. yeah.. he used to encorparate this tabledrumming thingy for his bassplaying.. you keep your right hand parallel so each finger is above a string and roll away :D it was his own version of slapping, instead of using just his thumb he slapped with all his fingers
