Title: Got one for ya Uriah.
Post by: Cirrus6playr on April 26, 2005, 04:46:11 PM

I don't know if you take requests but there is one riff that I have yet to be able to get ever since I have heard it.  

It is on Israel & New Breed - Come in from the outside.  In the intro to that song Terrence does this slap / thump within the first few measures.  There are no discernable notes only a thump rythym that he does.  I have tried for many an hour to get it but I cannot for the life of me figure it out.  I can do variations of it but cannot capture what he is doing.  
Most of the times I have to picture what the player is doing but this time I can't.  Its like MY rythym is off or something.

Do you think you might be able to do a video breaking it down for me.  :?:
Forgive me if this is something you would only do in a private lesson, which I am currently trying to get kitchen clearance, my wife, to do.

all he is doin is slapin quintuplet ghost notes. when doin it you gotta mute the bass the whole time the rythm is thumb open E do a hammer on whole step on the E string  pop a ghost note on  the g string then thumb the e string try doing that whole thing once but he keeps repeatin the pattern i know i explained it stupid but i cant think of a better way but if u got any questions just ask

Thanks for the input lildrumma.

I think I understand.  I mean it's like a drum beat pattern.  By the way I can't play the drums at all so that works against me when trying to play rythyms sometimes.  

I was actually playing higher on the neck around the 7th - 9th frets.  I can see where the tones would sound better lower on the neck.

Thanks again.

Uriah if I would have thought about it I would have included a sound clip of it.....sorry.
