Its your good buddy Uncle Ben Eller here with a very special guest: my main man Tosin Abasi of Animals as Leaders! And we are here to give you guys the ULTIMATE primer on his selective picking technique!!! This cool technique is a combination of fret-hand "cold hammers" (or hammer-on's from nowhere, in the language of Eddie Van Halen) plus notes that are selectively picked on fretted or open strings. It produces a very machine-like, percussive, and rhythmic effect that you can't get from alternate picking or legato! Its all over the music of AAL, and now you're going to learn how to do it. Tosin and i are gonna show you the basics of hand sync, tone and effects, palm muting, creating arpeggio patterns, cold hammers, and even more! Its everything you need to get ready to tackle those awesome SP etudes Tosin has put up on his channel! Tosin Abasi ! And don't fret if you don't have a dope 8 string, we both are using 6's through this whole video! Playing my Suhr Modern Satin through the Axe FX 3. No DOD Grunge pedals were harmed in the making of this video. Be sure to check out Tosin's channel to learn even more, and listen for him on the soundtrack of Bill and Ted Face the Music!!!
