Playing with one hand (the right one)
« on: October 01, 2002, 03:14:31 AM »

I have a playing technique (I'll have to add something about it here at this site) where I mute the strungs at around the 1st 'fret' with the left hand and play the strings by tapping and holding them down with the right hand, which makes a percussive and analog synth-esqe sound.

I've able to vary my tone on the Ashbory quite a bit by changing how I address the strings. It's also fun to pull up and make the strings stap back, it faulters in a way not unlike an upright bass getting it's strings pulled.
