Good ol' Two Step

Unread post by Teego Time » Thu Aug 05, 2004 5:07 pm

So I've finally gotten enough stamina and skill to play Two Step and sing to it. But I've been getting a lot of buzzing when I play. Any suggestions on how to remedy this, besides increasing the action?

again? psuah!
ya

ok if it's the noted strings that buzzing do what i said in the first post if it the muted strings it's one of two things.

!: one of your ifngers is slightly hitting the string, so it buzzes, kinda like harmonics, but not :roll

2:too much pressure on that string, loosen it up a bit

the easieest wya to get Dave mutings that are chords, is basically mute with a finger close to it

Code: Select all

E--3
B--0
G--0
D--0
A--x
E--3
so the finger that gets the 3 on the low bass string, mutes the A string, you just kinda lower the finger a bit.

Code: Select all

E
B
G--10
D--x
A--8
E--10
that chord from two step, basically the note that gets the 8 mutes the D string

I used to start off with using an extra finger to mute. so instead of having the finger that gets the 8 on the A string mute the D, i would use the other finger and place it over
