I am just playing some high gain distorted riffs which make use of to eights of xx scratch sound with the snare drum. My problem that I don't really get that punchy percussive scratch out of my guitar. I know the theory behind it to lightly touch the strings and so on but when I do it there are too many overtones ringing from the strings. I also find it quite difficult to change quickly between for example an open G Powerchord and immediately putting your hands flat on the strings again. So how do I get rid of the overtones and produce really punchy percussive scratch even with high gain distortion? Thanks for your help You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
