Has anyone heard of Justin King

Unread post by SlickNick » Tue Feb 03, 2004 11:05 pm

Has anyone heard of Justin King? He has an extremely percussive slap technique, and I think he is incredible. I was wondering if anyone knows how to do this? I have messed around with it a little, but I can't really figure out how he does this triple strum with his fingers. Oh yeah, I have a video: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/video/guitar.php

Post your comments/suggestions. Oh yeah, this is my first post too. I have been using this site for tabs for awhile, but I haven't really posted in the forums. So hi all, and I hope for my "stay" here to be educational and fun. Thanks in advance!

i find his tapping to be a little more amazing than the slapping parts. there is really no good way to explain how he slaps, all you have to do is just look.

the tapping on the other hand, can be explained. basically you just tap the fret of the note you want to hit, but its tricky because if you dont tap hard enough you wont get any volume and if you tap too hard, you end up slipping and getting a nasty sound. i can kinda do this technique to some extent, but not anywhere near the level of justin king. that kind playing takes years of experience and endless hours of practice. he is a bad mother
