  • Hello !!! Welcome to my second lesson ;)

    I have recorded one of my songs called OMEGA. In fact it's only an arrangement that I play with touch technique (I usually called it as Poliphonic tapping :P). This technique consist in tap directly into the frets with both hands.
    In this particular lesson I play the melody with my right hand and the bass-line with my left.



    OMEGA:
    That sound use the scale of B harmonic minor.
    You can listen the complete song (without this arrengement) here:

    (it's from my first album: "DE TODOS MODOS" (2006))



    MY TRICKS:
    1. I use a "hair elastic" to mute the strings (it's the weird white thing in my frets 1-2 XD).
    2. I use clean sound with a bit delay and a high COMPRESSOR effect because the notes played by the right hand often sounds muffled and with low volume.
