#377 - Six-String Sorcery | Weedly Woos & Squealies

It has been suggested that singers do it with their mouths and drummers do it with their arms and legs, but GUITARISTS (and yes, also bassists) do it with their hands AND fingers…and sometimes they do it with BOTH hands and ALL the fingers at the exact same time!

Guitarists often utilize a vast array of “not so secret” weapons to spice things up for a more pleasurable and titillating music experience. Whether its pick scrapes, neck slides, divebombs, shredding, solos, riffs, double picking, sweep picking, two-handed tapping, layered harmonies, squealies, weedly woos, or any combination thereof, ALL of these techniques add definition, personality, and flavor to rock and metal music. Plus, it’s extremely fun to do once you learn how to do it (mark the time).

Discover which band may have the longest run of near perfect albums in history, prepare to learn how to speak fluent “Beavisese”, and get ready for an ear full of dirty, raunchy, filthy, and otherwise obscene guitar sorcery when you JOIN US as we explore the pages of The Blue Book of Sevens for some high-resolution GUITAR PORN.

#microamericans

(19:43): “Can it include the bass?”

#Metallica THE WAIT (Garage Days Re-Revisited – 1987)

“Wait for it…”

“To be fair…can you pull up Devil’s Dance by Metallica? There’s a bass slide, but there’s also a weird…it sounded like a pick scrape at the bridge…it sounds like he’s using an exact-o-knife…”

#Forbidden WAKE UP (Distortion – 1994)

“Back to the Pantera thing…I think Pantera may be the ONLY band that’s managed to use pick scrapes and (neck) slides as an actual riff…”

“We’re getting to the porn part…this is all foreplay…”

(40:33): “I thought of another good one that’s got the pick scrape and the slide…” / “BTW, I’d like to think that my impression…I pretty much nailed it, in Beavisese…”

#Forbidden THROUGH EYES OF GLASS (Forbidden Evil – 1988)

“That’s riff porn right there…”

“It makes it move…”

(52:11): “I found this the other day…somebody sent us this in an email…”

NOTE: We did do an Igorrr song on our Nuclear Blast episode.

#Igorrr LIMBO (Amen – 2025)

“This would be great live…I think she’s a classically trained singer…perfect pick scrape, too.”

“Did you see that look?”

“She has a great voice…”

(56:44): “How about some shredders?”

#Pantera CEMETARY GATES (Cowboys From Hell – 1990)

“This reminded me of (Jimmy) Page and (Robert) Plant…they used to do this a lot…”

“I wanna know, in life, on stage, or even in the studio, how many times Dime has done that and EVER broke a string…”

(59:10): “In terms of a great, intro guitar slide…what was that?”
