JonnyB Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 I was just watching some Abraham Laboriel vids on youtube - he was demonstrating a right hand technique where he seems to anchor his fingers on his thumb and 'flick' all 4 fingers on a string one after the other to achieve incredible speed and a 'slappy' sort of sound - unfortunately it seemed to be filmed with a mobile or something and it was in spanish, so I couldn't really work out what was going on. Anyone know about this technique? Cheers! Quote
lowdown Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) I think its based around the [Spanish]Flamenco style. Great player, and very versatile is Mr Laboriel. His son is a stonking Drummer as you might already know. Garry Edited October 26, 2009 by lowdown Quote

JonnyB Posted October 26, 2009 Author Posted October 26, 2009 I guess it's more 'academic' interest - just curious. Quote
