Hello folks,
How do people like Mr Vai get sustain and vibrato on the 24th fret, I'm trying for the latest Metallica collab but the notes just die very quickly.

Thanks Todd,
I know practise but sometimes you need tech tips. It's like throwing darts, one can just buy a set and a board and practise for years not improving, a few tips on stance, hold and follow through from a master and immediately their average score doubles Cheers Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

If you're comfortable with pinch harmonics, try g string 21.th fret. The pinch harmonic spot should be where a middle singlecoil should be.

Thanks Mertay,
I'm trying to hit a note on the high E 24th fret, then do a sliding pentatonic run back down to the 12th.the frets above the 21st are very tight. I'm wondering if I should put my finger on the 22rd fret store and roll onto the string towards the 24th? Not home at the moment so can't try.

Here is his ”secret”. I have a Fender Stratocaster O’brien which has the same sustainer device. |

Thanks Todd,
Thinking about it, I don't think it was sustain that I mean, it was finger placement to just get the note to ring out without instant decay. Thanks for taking the time to do that video. I do find vibrato hard on the high E on any fret so that needs work. Cheers Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Good calluses on the fingertips help fretting down there for sure.
