How To Play Gojira Style Pick Scrape, Rake and Slides

SdĂ­let

  • A how to lesson on play Gojira style pick scrapes, rakes and slides.
    A lot of requests for this one. I believe the main difference between how I play them and other versions is I utilise my thumb to create higher harmonics and incorporate a pick scrape at the end of the rake.
    When playing these rakes and scrapes I aim to create a messier noise, avoiding clean harmonics. However be careful to keep the distortion under control as too much and you loose some of the clarity of each string.
    Questions and comments below! I read them all!
    And yes, there will be some more Gojira lessons in the future 🐋
    Thanks for watching!

    In a French interview (my native language), Joe said that the left hand was just for "visual effect" like a magician who attracts the attention as everything was happening with the right hand.
    So, for the "sliding left hand", it seems it is just for the show or maybe he was feeling like doing it this way.
    If I found back the vido, I could link it to you.
    (You have a really really cool guitar. The sound is great)

      Well for what it is worth Joe sure fooled me as I was just watching Explosia live at Hellfest and grabbed my guitar to try and figure out what he was doing with his left hand to make that sound. Of course, nothing I could do would replicate it so here I am again - thanks, SMS!

      I actually found out about it accidentally. I am not an experienced player so whenever I tried raking my thumb would get in the way and I thought to myself, hey that sounds more like how they do it. Ever since Ive been doing that.

    • @ShadowMantraSteve
      @ShadowMantraSteve  Pƙed 4 lety +9

      Thank you! I only really found out about using the thumb to catch higher harmonics by just digging in hard with the pick to get a stronger attack and it was bit of a happy accident. I think it definitely helps to get some of those higher pitches in that cut through more.

    Been searching for this technique's name to put in some of my tab notes but I had no idea what it was called. Everyone on youtube seems to call waterfall/ palm harmonics rake harmonics which was unhelpful. I guess it doesn't have an official technique name. Awesome video, thanks heaps mate!!

    • @ShadowMantraSteve
      @ShadowMantraSteve  Pƙed 4 lety +6

      I did a lesson earlier this year on harmonics, hopefully it helps! czcams.com/video/B1l2r8GAtYQ/video.html
      For magma the key is changing the position of the picking hand to hit the different harmonics. I did a cover of it that should help you see what's going on a bit better czcams.com/video/hwbh7AKGqug/video.html

    Jumping in with some pronunciation advice: "Gojira" is an English approximation to how the Japanese properly pronounce "Godzilla". Phonetically it sounds like "Goh-Zji-La" with the 'Zji' being important as it's not quite a "Zee" sound or a "Gee" sound but a mix of both. It is not "goJIra" or "GOjira" as I have heard others say. Please adhere to the above pronunciation and respect both the band and the nation from where it took its name.
