Andy R Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Ever noticed that when guitar players get together they can describe guitar sounds to explain how something goes? Here are a few of mine. funort - hitting a sour note Fwarnee Fwarnee Fwarnee - Think Ace Frehley Pickgeern pickgeern pickgeern - Think funk # 49 dweedledee dweedledee zjunk zjunk zjunk zjunk zjunk - Palm muting a power chord ala Metallica and Priest This should be fun!

BigKahune Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Sometimes I want to hammer it, but digging it out might sound better. I also like scratching with a light touch and getting the wah going on the beat. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabba2203 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Tinklies - any high note doodling Blart - a short, fast flurry run of notes. Bludgeoning Hammer Drop - Dropping to a slow, low E grind from a fast riff in a higher key. Death Metal Calliope - The sound made when you and the other guitar player are out of tune with each other and are playing the harmony or unison melody line.
