Hi everyone Ive been playing for 17 years now and put a minimum of twenty hours a week record and play time and I lurve my Jacksons.I am a bit of a fan of the pinging in an expressional sense, particularly at the lower g and f# on the E sixth. I have focused on getting Zakk Wyldes character into it,after all who done more pinging than Zakk apart from John Sykes (Blue Murder). Zakks ping has an aggresive attitude when he does it, it has a big sweepy vibrato at a rapid pace. Now I know he uses a Jim Dunlop Rotovibe and I bought one two weeks ago and the sound is much closer and I know he layers in the studio, THE FACT HE DOES IT PERFECTLY LIVE annoys me to tears. No one can ping like Zakk does and Iv'e been playing his stuff for years, but there is still something missing in my performance of his ping. Iv'e got a feeling its in the hand technique but I can't nail it exactly like Zakk and you all know how obsessive us guitarists can get about things sounding right. Any secrets out there?
