metal players, I come to you for advice...

If I was playing a unison bend, and I wanted the pick each note in a way that it would sound like I was playing them one after another REALLY fast, how would I do that?

Just pick really fast. You can't just rush into something and expect to play insanely fast, it takes time and you actually need to be able to play it properly before you do it.

I don't really expect to play insanely fast (not that it's too hard). I'm just wondering what the technique is called.

The easiest and most common way of doing this is fretting a note with your index finger on the 2nd string and using your ring finger 2 frets up on the 3rd and bending until the note is in sync.

can u post the tab?

You could also bend up one note, and play it a few times with stacato.

i would do inside alternate picking

Unison means the same note. So something like this...



He's wrong about the octave part, because it's the same note, not the octave.

yea i figured it out.. thats actually the same video i watched lol

ah okay, it isn't that hard. It all becomes easier if you just practice. You can use your middle finger with your ring finger becomes easier with the full step, I try to bend with one finger though.

Don't you use your little finger? (pinky)

Depends. I do use my little finger, but I hate using all my fingers to bend. I think it's unfair to do that LOL

Ok I understand now. I dont like the way it sounds though. I used it way too much.

Yeah, I know what unison means.

Personally, I bend with my ring finger.

i bend with my 2 middle fingers

@BODOM

What? Dude, are you deformed?

wut do u mean? lol

You said you have two middle fingers.

i mean my middle and ring fingers, aka the ones in the middle

woot! a new mod! nice job jazzy! only like 2 months and already a mod. *sniffles* they grow up....so fast lol.

lol, you only have one middle finger.

but theres 2 in the middle lol.. nvm =p

lol

haha Thanks EMB. Yeah that made me laugh, I haven't even been here long! :D

Yeah BBT, there are two middle fingers, but there's only one of those fingers that's referred to as the middle finger, the other is known as the ring finger. That's why he got confused.

yea i know lol. but writing "two middle fingers" is easier than writing the "middle and ring fingers" w/e is easier lol

do the riff slow pick every note slowly then do it again alittle bit faster ten repaeat until your as fast as you want to be

Your index finger is the pivot,which puts your thunb low on the neck,which let your pinky and ring finger float for speed and you can get the same effect with just the ring finger and the index finger if you do it right.Which leaves the pinky open and you can do more.

And two middle fingers? wtf? I understand that.....lol
