JEFF- BECK

Jeff Beck has a unique, ‘vocal’ guitar sound. Here, instead of string bending we are using the whammy bar to change the pitch of the notes. Just like Albert the thumb is used to pluck the notes. One of the key techniques used in this solo is the scoop into the notes. This is done by fretting the note and depressing the whammy bar prior to picking. As you pick the note let the whammy go back to pitch. This creates an upward gliss, not unlike Albert’s swooping bends.
