ghost notes just puzzle me. i either sound as if i am hitting a wrong string or as if i made some other fretting mistake. How are they done?

ps have you got a tab for the Enigma song? there isnt one anywhere i can find.
cheers

'LESS' is 'MORE'.............but usually you figure that out after overplaying on stuff for years until you eventually get it (of course some people never do).[/quote]

Hey guys!!

[url="http://groovesecrets.wordpress.com/2010/08/11/groove-secret-9-playing-with-paradoxes-going-deeper/"]New article[/url]!! It is about playing with paradoxes again, but this time more in depth! Check it out!!

[b]To daz[/b]: To play ghost notes, you have to play this way:
- right hand: as usual, hit your string strongly, do not hesitate! otherwise it is going to sound like a mistake... then if it helps, get your fingers back to the string so that it stops "ringing" if you are not comfortable at first!
- left hand: just put your finger on the string, do not "fret" it! It has to be enough so that it is not a note you play.

Hope this helped!

For the enigma bass line, what part do you want?

It is a pretty special one since it is a (quite big) quote from a professional bass player! He basically talks about which state of minds a bass player should be while playing music... very interesting! ^_^[/quote]
