Teeth picking???

[andy82]

Umm so I've heard about this teeth picking jibberish...
I think I saw Yngwie do it during his live shows :eek:
I'd like to do it just to get a kick out of it... so how do you do it?? :D

[andy82]

... I guess I'm asking... how do you hold the guitar so that your teeth can get to strings and wanted notes despite the fretboard and other strings

[chris mood]

The teeth mainly just hit the string to start it vibrating, the majority of the notes being played are done by hammering on and pulling off w/the left hand. You can use your tongue also, sh$% you could even use your......well nevermind.

LOL :D

Yngwie´s teeth picking is truly amazing. Just check out on Play Load video (sweeping) when he picks him through Van Halen´s euption tremolo picking lick with teeths. Woah!!!

Youll probably feel differently when you bust your lip open. Its never happened to me but it did to a guy I know - very funny

WOW, where did you get that vid from ? Anywhere on the net to download that part ?

A buddy of mine uses his tounge onstage. He always seems to get laid after the show. Hmmmm... Coincidence?

I remember hearing on this forum one time that Ron Thal uses a vibrator on his guitar.....I bet he's got some interesting post show stories.

For Malmsteens video, it can be hard to download it but if you really want, you can order it from http://www.sheetmusicplus.com

It´s called Play Loud! The 2nd Movement: arpeggio

But honestly, it´s pretty easy stuff. He show´s sweeps/arps and he starts with 2 strings stuff and ex. are Rising Force solo and Bigfoot introlude, than he moves on to 3 strings and shows basic 3 string sweeps and than learns the 3-string part in song called Deamon Driver from eclipse album, than he moves on to 4 strings, 5 and six (all very very standard and pretty easy sweeps).

He also plays 3 songs, learning to tap harmonics, Black Star main theme, delay techniques and finish of with a cool classic piece wich reminds me a lot from the song called Voodoo.

It´s an very useful video for a sweep begginer and it help me a lot but it´s not advanced as Jason Beckers stuff (not even close actally).

But than, termolo Eruption picking with teeth is the climax of the video. How does he do it???

I gotta see that vid someday.

One other cool thing is the elec drill trick... I saw Gilbert and Sheehan doing it in a Mr Big vid , pretty cool .

[Dejan Sajinovic]

I´ve treid that one. wrrrrm. But first time when I tried I had orginal Epiphone humbucker so I couldn´t hear anything but the roar of electric drill but I have chenged ´em for Seymour Duncan and it´s damn cool. Now I can hear pickin´ as well as the roar wich makes it to sound like Formula 1 takin´ of.

But it seems imposible to play on all strings and it´s easyest to play on thin E string and it´s no idea to try to keep up left hand with the drill. That´s way impossible so usualy I play termolo picking licks a la Eruption and Pulp Fiction theme. Damn cool and flasy.

I use a big bass pic wich are shaped as a triangel, than just atach it to the drill by makin´ a hole in the middle and off I go.

Pic must be hard and have sharp edges.

Don't forget to mention...Drill must be cordless!! (or else you'll be in for the shock of your life)
