This is my "Australian Rain Forest Bird" guitar trick. Question: how did I produce this sound on the guitar?

Fast hammer on and pull off using a crunchy tone having a delay on top? My guess!

Good morning Cosmin! Most of the ingredients you've mentioned are there: crunchy tone, delay (medium amount, so it is not a crucial part of the "Bird sound"), and a hammer-on. There is an important (and rather unusual) trick that I did while playing this sound. It substitutes the need for doing a series of hammer-ons and pull-offs.

I'd be very curious to find out

maybe some whammy bar work on top too??

I like how Jonas brought some fresh and exciting ideas to GTR!!

Wow, that's such a cool and effective sound !

It almost sounds as if you're grabbing the string and dragging it sideways off of the fretboard ??

Damn it Ben that was what I was going to suggest

Thanks a lot!

No, there was no whammy bar in this lick:)



Yes, Ben has found it!


This is how I produce this sound:

- hammer on from nowhere, on fret 1 of the low E string
- tap on fret 15 of the low E string
- I push the string upwards until it goes off the neck
- in this position, I move the string rapidly - similar to a normal vibrato, but on the narrow top of the neck.
