yeah... gimme some actually, I read this article, which is worth a regular look at:
http://www.mandozine.com/resources/CGOW/mikecompton2.php got my spark plug feelers out and found my action was much lower than the 5/64 of an inch (or 2mm if you use a sane system for measuring), and jacked it up, changed the strings, without worrying too much about having a radiussed fretboard, not very radiussed bridge and so on... put the E and G at about 2mm and suddenly the thing is singing. Then I remembered elliptical tremolo from the same article: loose wrist, circular motion, tried doing that thing I had been thinking about whereby you double stop tremolo from one string to another rather than both strings equally, and some of the sounds I had been working for came... And it's funny how once the tone starts working the rhythm seems easier and more natural. So yes, I had a nice bank holiday today! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Taterbugmando" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
