Hey guys, I am getting back into 80's hair bands now but can't seem to get down the techniques. I know it mostly has to do with effect but what are some of the common techniques used? I am a HUGE fan of C.C. Deville's guitar style so that is what I am aiming for as well. Also, how do you play the typical 80's lead...It is some sort of harmonic but someone told me it invloves many different guitars. Also, I am having trouble fingertapping. I have read books on it and everything and it sounds HORRIBLE WHEN I DO IT! I am playing a Gibson Les Paul with a Seymour Duncan Dimebucker pickup so it should sound good but it doesn't. When I do it, it just sounds real choppy and muted and the sounds resembles an old nintendo video game rather than sounding smooth and flowing. Thanks a lot for any help guys, take care!
