Tim: hybrid picking Tosen: thump Ichika: tapping Manuel: crazy percussive strumming

[@PatnetEditions]

My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when balance was kept between the gods of Hybrid Picking, Thumping, Tapping, and CrAzY Percussive Strumming

[@AkidaToritama]

Who's Tim??

[@ryanbaruah7555]

Actually this technique is called "chkchkk cchhkkchhkchhkk" .

manuel's tapping harmonics are also top tier, his piece in the biggest shred collab demonstrated it and it rlly stood out from the rest.

So he’s of Spanish decent, German native, who speaks English with a slightly British accent, weird (not meant to cause any offense at all, I just find that interesting, I expected him to have a much thicker German accent is all)

[@benediktsturm4387]

i think that typical german accent is kinda vanishing due to the accessibility of international media content. a lot of younger people in germany are for example watching series in their original language and if at all with subtitles :D

[@retrorewind6042]

Benedikt Sturm im german, and with the younger generation the accent isnt as thick because english is taught in all schools

[@MaddesG1]

YOU DONT HEAR HIS GERMAN ACCENT... what are u colorblind

[@return0jz878]

@@MaddesG1 tf, colorblind?

[@NewbPhil]

Also you have to consider that in Germany, British English is taught in schools, meaning that the people who are really proficient at it will naturally have a British "inclination" in their accent due to how they were taught. I know many people form university in Germany that have the same accent

[@lapercog]

i get the idea, but my wrist keep saying no

[@sylvesterwarbringer8397]

Put your hand on your bridge or pickup and take support of your pinky finger.. its similiar to picking

[@snikrdoodls14]

You should still be able to move your wrist. Your pinky should be bearing the weight as a sort of pivoting point. It’s the same as picking normally having your pinky stretched out while doing so. If that doesn’t work just put your hand in a door jam and shut it hard. It’s a great alternative.

[@jimmeridda]

I have been trying to figure this out. This is a very good simple lesson. I have something to practice now. You are a good teacher and an excellent musician. Thank you.

Doesn't he sound kinda british-

So, lots of reverb. High speed delay. A bit of tremolo. Maybe a touch of chorus? Is there a ring modulator in there? How far off am I?

[@tylerhawksmoor9601]

literally just reverb

@@tylerhawksmoor9601 nah. Unless his reverb has chorus tremolo and chorus on it.

And if you're having trouble playing it up to speed, feel free to just fast-forward your playing by 5 or 10 percent..

Haha , yes! This man has zero integrity

[@definitelynotgore]

Dude has done multiple live playthroughs and his band uses this technique a lot pretty aggressively (who also toured a lot prior to the pandemic). So, I don’t know what to tell you lol.

[@ogmiom3887]

Uhhhhh, he doesn’t....speed up any of his stuff. He is very very very clearly capable of playing everything he does without speeding up

@@ogmiom3887 I mean he has clearly in the past on instagram, but he's not done that again since.

I'm half Indian I hope this guy influences more mixed race Indians to get involved in metal and rock! I've literally grown up playing guitar without any people that I look like... Manuel is a killer musician!... even Dave from Sum 41 is younger and way more Asian LOL (the age thing is depressing)! Sometimes its great to dress up like your heroes, but its unconvincing when you don't fundamentally look like them :( I'll be doing a fat 40 year old Manuel cosplay this time next year :) xxx

Is he Indian mixed tho? He looks Spanish

[@mattstarf4294]

@@SoumilSahuYou know what... I have no idea why I thought he was mixed race indian.... His nationality is German, I think he has Irish on his mums side and perhaps Portuguese!

You're probably right because from what I saw on Insta at least his mother is german (without any other other influences, she sometimes comments on his posts) and his father is Indian (or maybe half, no proof there). At least there's no sign on anything spanish or portuguese, just because of names (note: Manuel is a normal german name too).
