Thank you so much for this - it very much helps to illuminate the wicked genius of Allan that was light years ahead of everybody (and still is!) - amazingly propelled by his own mind and imagination!

@@TurrigenousOfficial Well, it's a statistical fact that in the case of the SynthAxe and the baritone guitars, there are not enough of those instruments around that someone can work on this. On a sidenote, I recall what Steve Vai wrote about his "Hindmost" solo transcription back in 85. He said that figuring out the pitches was kinda easy (sure, Steve!), but figuring out the fingerings was hell. And now I'm starting to think that Allan was really just messing with us. He must have had a laugh about a lot of these lines: "Let them try to figure that one out!" But you did!
@TurrigenousOfficial
@TurrigenousOfficial 4 месяца назад
@aharchives Haha I thought about that too. It's a simple and genius way to get crazy lines without doing too much work. How would anyone know unless you had the synthaxe to test it and better software to slow down the music 😊. This is why I had such trouble with Flat Tire... there were lines that were just insane! I tried to think it was some special tuning. Nope, it was just edited haha

I'm sorry to bother you again, but I've been practicing your book Looking Glass recently and I'm not sure about two fingering questions. The first is the sweep picking example on page 311, may I ask on the three consecutive 12th frets on the B/G/D string, does allan use his index finger to play the three notes consecutively or does he use his index finger to hit the 12th frets on the B and D strings and middle finger to hit the 12th fret on the G string? The second is the last example on page 332, can i ask if the two 9th fret notes on the B and D strings are also both hit using the index finger? If so, do you move quickly to the D string after hitting the note on the B string, or do you press both notes on the B and D strings with the belly of the finger in advance? Additionally, I would like to ask about the concept of "barring" that you mention in your book. Is barring a simultaneous pressing of two frets on the same fret, or is it pressing one fret and muting the fret on the other string? Really hope you can reply to these questions, I can't thank you enough. Best wishes.❤
@TurrigenousOfficial
@TurrigenousOfficial 2 месяца назад
Yes you use the index finger for all of it and yes you roll the finger in the fret so one is being played and muting the others. It's an odd thing to get used to, but it's very common in playing arpeggios where you want one note to ring at a time. You can also roll any finger across a fret, but mostly it's the index.
@Rurikon_1
@Rurikon_1 2 месяца назад
@@TurrigenousOfficial So what about in the example at the end of page 332, is it to play a note with your fingertips and immediately cross over to the D-string to play a note of the same fret, or to prepare in advance to hover on two separated strings?

@@TurrigenousOfficial oh yes it's definitely a Chad tune. But that solo AIN'T! To me, that is the most vicious guitar solo ever and any guitarist that's ever heard of it I imagine is to scared to even attempt it, one because it's too difficult to try and duplicate, and two so as not to make a fool of themselves. 🤣But if you ever decide to do an analysis on it, I'd be very interested to see what you do with it.
