Subject: TECH: Acoustic intro to "When the Wild Winds Blow" From: descartesii *AtSign* juno.com (Jacob A Michael) Date: Wed, 09 Apr 1997 20:07:53 EDT This is by far one of the coolest tapped songs I've ever heard...beats most of Michael Hedges' work by a mile. It's low, it's bad, it's funky, and it takes a lot of work to place all the harmonics the right way. I've tried the best I could in the room that I had here to place the tapped placement in <>, but you'll have to use your imagination for some parts. For those cool little fast runs he does on the bottom to strings, it's not important where you strike the harmonics, because the sound you're trying to achieve is a percussive one, not a harmonic one. The ^^^^^^ marks just mean vibrato. It's a cool effect when you make the harmonics ring out and then wobble them, although, again, this takes some work to make it sound right. Plug away and rock on. This one is well worth the effort.
