Hi all,

I just came across a video of billy sheehan talking about his bass setup in which he showed an unique style of fret buzz. Its really hard to explain the kind of sound which i mean.. so here's an example:

You can clearly hear Sheehan having some buzz coming from his bass after hitting the "e" string at [u]3:43 [/u]specifically. Could anyone explain to me how this kind of buzz actually appears and how I can achieve a similar effect? I just can't understand it.

Thanks!

I'm a big fan of the right amount of fret clank and buzz when you dig in :D

Agree Chris, playing some pretty hard punk at present, it`s virtually necessary to have this - imagine it to also be the case with hard rock as well. In a three piece especially, when the guitar starts soloing, dig in and that clank/buzz works like a rhythm guitar to fill in the gaps.
