Starlord Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 So, I see a selection of notes and was wondering the best way to play them. The speed is 128 and any advice would always be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am totally new to this so please forgive my further question, with the fret hand ammo holding down on both E and D strings while I’m doing that?

Huw Foster Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Seems like pretty typical disco octaves at that tempo! I'd play with index finger plucking the low notes, and middle finger plucking the highs. You'll be fine if you slow it down first, then work your way up, encouraging muscle memory and anticipation from the plucking hand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use 1st finger on E and little finger on D (or A and G). A slight rockung motion between the two to mute/play each string. As Huw says, index low, middle hi. Car Wash is a very obvious example but there's load of disco stuff. It takes practice, thats all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s great advice thank you, when I saw it I thought ‘I’d rather dance it then play it’ but I’m getting a better idea now thanks to you all for the tips!
