There is no way I could play this. I guess I'll have to find alternatives or somehow get light speed reflexes.

Edit: Thanks for help. I found a playable tab for the song I am learning.

Ah, they have drunken AIs cranking out tablature now I see.

Hooray for technology!

Move those notes to different strings and this is a basic minor bar with root on the A string:

4
5
6

Who has 11 frets worth of fingerspread? This seems impossible.

It's not that hard. Did I mention I have 9 fingers on my fretting hand?

Finger tap?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Many options here, actually (listed in order of insanity/difficulty):

  • you could simply play that G# on the first fret of the G string.

  • you could change the fingering to bring the notes closer together

  • you could tap that note

  • you could use an artificial harmonic to get that high G# from the first fret

This guy was a master at stuff like this and would have done #2 for sure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQVNLTPHaX0&pp=ygUadGVkIGdyZWVuZSByZWhhcm1vbml6YXRpb24%3D

It’s not a hammer-on 1-3?

That's the "Fuck you" chord

Lindsey Buckingham can probably Travis pick it.

Change the fingering

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Should be doable with artificial harmonics -- finger fret 1 with the left hand and use the right hand to pinch harmonic at fret 13 while you pluck normally using the rest of your fingers.

Lenny Breau used this sort of technique a bunch, he's worth checking out if you're not familiar!

I don't know how to play it but I will just say that Songster is an amazing app and I am happy I purchased the live long subscription.
