<Help!> How do you get that nice pick scrape sound?
« on: September 10, 2007, 11:14:37 PM »
This may be a very basic question for you experts.  Diko tlga alam kung san ang mali ko.  I know I'm scraping it right (maybe).  Pero diko tlga mkuha ung pick-scrape sound (typical sa mga punk-rock songs).

Tulad dun sa kantang doobie doo ng kamikazee. (para maka relate lahat)

"Di naman kaylangan boses mo'y maganda, (pick-scrape sound) ........ "

Nasa effects ba un? sa settings?   :|

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance guys! Peace.  :-)

muffle the upper strings before the actual note, scrape those X notes.

Bili ka ng Alice pick sa Lazer and use it to pick scrape. Don't scrape too hard though, because your strings might get worn out easily :)

Heavy gauge picks are recommended right?
