Andy from NailGuitar.com has come up with a cool video lesson on Mr. Fastfinger’s slide techniques. It’s based on the Ninja slide lessons that can be found here on this blog. The slide ideas are very well explained in this video. Thanks Andy, this is truely an honour!
Here’s something that came out after thinking of those glissando slides. A short calm down improvisation. Enjoy!
Mr. Fastfinger – Glissando Gestures
How to find fresh ideas? Always keep ears and mind open. When in search of new ideas you can also you can try to simulate sounds from different instruments. Here’s one idea that come’s to my mind: How about that synthesizer portamento thing you can do between two notes. My old trusty Yamaha synthesizer has a really cool Glissando feature. Always been into that tone. How it would sound on guitar?
Very busy here with the ninja slide techniques. A little guitar improvisation, just for you!
This special “Multi Scroll Jutsu” is used when a ninja wants to fool his enemies and not let them know which direction he’s heading next. There are several ways to do this technique. Study these examples. But pay attention to the left hand fingerings.
Sliding from note to note is considered easy: Just pick a note, keep pressing the string while sliding the finger to another fret. Good! But sometimes even the most experienced guitar players land on a wrong note when doing this “Basic Slide”. A real ninja never fails to slide into the right note. He practices this technique in the dark.
