      SuperCharleh wonder how many times he's explained his slap technique now. people need to realize also his thumb is inhuman it literally looks like it bends 90 degrees in the wrong direction. I can play this technique mainly because I play bass as well but it doesn't quite sound like tosin. also don't think he liked the guitar a lot it seemed to fight him a little but cool looking. may have just been the setup.

  • @KYUBIMATIAS
    @KYUBIMATIAS 12 років тому +1

    It's a bass guitar technique developed by Victor Wooten that Tosin has applied to his 7 and 8-string guitar playing. You slap the Lowest E string and pick with your thumb. It really weird and awkward at first, but with time, you get used to it and you can develop speed like Tosin has. You can tell he's been working on it for quite some time, years I imagine, just by looking at the way he arches his thumb when playing. The opening riff and lots of "An Infinite Regression" uses the technique.

    • @azzans

      yeah if you move up semi tones of the same exact phrase it sounds like something out of an NES game.
