I'm having a lot of trouble understanding the rhythm part right after the first riff. Is there any chance someone could explain which fingers go on what frets for the 4 positions and which ones are supposed to be harmonics or if they all are? It just doesn't sound right when I fret on the spots I think he is.

Rob scallion been real shook after this rain

[@darthmatt4891]

Someone explain 2:52 I’m confused he says 12 on Low e but nothing else

[@juancamilomartinezmolano5828]

It goes 12 harmonic on E, G, B, e Then 15 fret E, 16 fret G (III in E minor) Then 10 fret E, 11 fret G (bVII), and ending on the VI (8 E, 12 harmonics higher strings), you will get a bigger sound adding open strings

[@rudwn4evolution237]

Ok ok, so in short the B and e string are going to be open when u pluck, but that G string is on the 12th fret with ur middle finger and pointer on the E string. Then slide down to the 13th fret with ur pointer, and ur middle finger is on the 14th fret G string. And lastly silde ur pointer up to the 6th fret with pointer, and use ur pinky on the 9th fret of the G string. It took me a minute to get it, really hope it helps😅

Don’t completely press the strings just touch them when picking and quickly release . Like the harmony you would do in nothing else matters intro by metallica . I hope this helps

He's not talking frets watch where his fingers are I had the same problem for a bit as well

Hes talking out about intervals in the key the c is the major 6th and d is the major seventh before the 8th note in the scale which is the octave of the root!

What amp is he using it sounds clean af

[@Pablo-zv6jd]

for amp modelers many ppl use a clean amp with the cab sim off + heavy compression and some reverb, but really the key part is using a guitar with single coils / coil split humbuckers on middle position

Its called a natural harmonic, you lightly hold on the spot right between the 7th and 8th fret and play it like you normally would. You can do them on the 5th, 7th, 12th ect..

If I remember it correctly he mentioned that he did sped up some of his playthrough like 10-20%.. The issue with his playing isn't that he can't really play his piece .. the problem lies with how people who watched his videos were mislead that you can sound so freaking 0 human-string-noise clean without heavy post processing.. if you compare his live music over his playthrough posts.. you would notice how human his playing really is..
