Well, uh... they cheated, by using a banjo. Funny thing is, I thought of clawhammer banjo-style picking just last night when I watched this Youtube video: Guitar BASS Lesson Inspired By Red Hot Chili Peppers Flea - about 7 minutes into it, where he's bouncing his thumb off the A string and picking the G string with his index finger. —I'm not a complete idiot. Some parts are missing. |

Good observation there. I pick a little OT clawhammer and have also noticed the similarity to the way they slap and pop the bass in funk. Just sort of the reverse of the motion. Duane Eddy sez: |

Thanks for that link. I like everything I have heard from the Longboards. Cool attitude, tons of energy and great sound! Whatever technique you are using, keep it up. (I dig the white Mosrite.) |

I have a Dano Guitarlin (Longhorn with 30 frets) I string like a banjo for an electric banjo sound. I took off the low E string, replaced the low A string with a high E string, hammered a small spike into the fret board at the 5th fret to nail down that string and tuned it up to G, then its the usual D, G and B strings and then the high E is tuned down to D. I played it at Suzy's a few years ago for a couple of tunes. -Marty "Hello Girls!" |
