I've been trying to get Rob's guitar flamenco hybrid style slap strumming for several years now, without much luck. The way he broke it down for Andrew in excruciating detail was exactly what I needed to finally break through the barrier. Fantastic! This was a lot of fun to watch, and reminds me a lot of when I would interact with my own guitar teachers

Honestly I still don't get how he does triplets. If I move fingers at all, I'm not able to do triplets fast. If I don't move fingers and move my wrist, it's hard to find comfortable position for my middle and ring finger in which the strums by these fingers are separate. If I bend first strumming up finger too much (I tried both orders) it just gets stuck between strings. If I don't bend it enough, first strum doesn't finish by the time second starts. If someone figured it out, help me please!

@ananassharikopodshipnikovi9308 9 ай бұрын

The only way I found that works without moving fingers is bending my wrist so my first strumming finger is pointed more towards the bridge instead of into fingerboard. But once again, I can't bend and unbend my wrist fast enough and I'm pretty sure that's not healthy for my wrist

It's definitely not easy and it was really cool to see this concept take flight and he really was a natural and seemed to get the hang of it quickly, which says a lot about Rob's teaching as much as it does the natural talent here.

This is amazing. Slap bass finally makes sense to me. One thing I noticed while messing around with tapping is that the strum hand can bend much easier than the fret hand can but I don't see a lot of guitar players tapping and bending. So much respect for being a digital music producer that understands the value of instrumental skill.

A note to my fellow tappers and slappers - the "magic" is the compressor pedal, which evens out (compresses) the volume of the low and high notes. That's how a twelfth fret high E can be heard while also tapping a low note.

I liked how rob was so nice the whole time except for when the Noise gate cut off his pinch harmonic. "I think that got cut by your noise gate" had this undertone of disgust, disappointment, and vengefulness that is hard to achieve. That man loves his pinch harmonics and won't let anything or anyone get in the way of him and them.

That pinch harmonic feeling they described immediately took me back to the first time I successfully nailed a pinch and that was all I wanted to do for days. It made me feel incredible. To this day a "nasty" well placed pinch will give me goosebumps. I still love adding them to songs that don't otherwise have them. Got me in trouble when I played in a country band.

Super duper cool tips on techniques that aren't immediately obvious when learning! Weird story: I struggled with pinch harmonics until I broke my index finger on my picking hand. While in a splint, I held my pick with thumb and middle finger. My ring finger brushed the string and made a perfect pinch. Now I do pinch harmonics by resting my ring finger on the string to "pinch" it with the pick itself and move my hand to let it ring out. Totally wrong way to do it but I've gotten compliments on them and done them onstage, on command, so I guess I lucked out!

that second trick rob taught where you do like a double tap is used on Hits from the bong and Son of a preacher man and might even be a sample from an older song, but it's a double tap into a slide down to the 12th and then hit a harmonic, think it's a whole step double slide into a harmonic and then a half step then a harmonic I think that's how it goes if I remember correct, but it's that part you instantly recognize about both songs, cool trick and one of the first I learned.
