JonnyB Posted October 26, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted October 26, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with that. Garry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyB Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 I guess it's more 'academic' interest - just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
