Open string licks

Post by vinstech »

To all of you who’ve seen and/or studied the REH Metal Tech video, you probably recall the short section on using open strings during scalar playing.

My question is if anybody is able to point out a lead section in which Vinnie actually uses this technique? :?:

Very possible. I really haven't really looked into it. I figured I could ask here before deep diving into the catalog to find some licks to copy hehe.

This is a good reason to listen to Speedball jam with full recollection!

Thanks, needed the timestamp.

How would you know?
I can't really hear it.
Even when he plays it slow, i can barley see it, and if he hadn't said so, probably wouldn't have known.
Good luck in your search :)

I'm sure he did occasionally use it in many solos whenever there was an open string alternative, gives your left hand a break when you go fast, and keeps on ringing while you go on, giving the whole thing more color.

Yeah, to me open string licks makes me think of a country feel, not just swapping an open note for a fretted one, the listener would never know.
