When playing F.O.T.B.B. do you pick every note or do you use pulloffs? I can do it both ways but I find when I use the pulloffs it sounds more like a bee, it's hard to get that bee-like articulation picking every note.

I feel like I'm cheating when I use the pulloffs though.
It's been a long time since I heard Nuno do it from Extream, does anybody remember how he played it?

Chris i worked it out again in Em and there's no,
way you can play F.O.T.B and do it right by useing,
pull-offs .For one thing your sliding to fast to,
execute a pull-off .
Really the trick is silding back and forth useing 32th,
notes plus very very fast sliding .
Try sliding from the 5th fret G string down to the 9th,
fret useing 5 notes.All you need is your index finger for,
this part.........................................
The sliding is what give's you the bee sound.
I'm doing more of a Dream Theater style (JP)

Good luck Mark
p:S I might write out the tab later!
Tapping can be used in other place's!
