Just spent an hour blasting through "power shuffle rock", what a cheerful Christmas number! ...lol. Anyone else doing this one?  I'm trying to create the "up scoop" on a couple of these dark chords by pressing on my stratocaster bridge with palm of hand just at the right moment, instead of tearing apart the neck by forcibly bending it repeatedly, anyone else have advice here? The notes need to finish with a scoop to sound right. Thanks...

Hey Kris, that sounds cool maybe you can make a video and share exactly what you are doing 🙂 It does not need to be perfect - just to get the idea 🙂

You are bending the neck on those chords on your Les Paul which sounds awesome(!), but I don't want to thrash my Strat... lol! Trying to figure out alternate method for making the tonal "scoop". In essence, I'm using whammy bar in reverse, but I don't have enough time to get my right hand back to the next chord. If I can come close, I'll shoot a video  

Another question on this piece of music: Do you by any chance have the drum score? You have an awesome drum shuffle groove going on in the backing track  Did you orchestrate that yourself?...and would you possibly be willing to print the drum score? I can't quite figure out all the notes (drums) by ear. I'm better if I have the music. I know it's not part of the 'lesson', but if your software will print a drum score I would love to have it

Ah now I get it what you are talking about - that should work on any guitar. Do can not break your guitar - well depends how strong you do that. But with normal pressure nothing should happen. You can also do that effect with your whammy bar - maybe it's just a matter of practice. But I can only tell if you see what you are talking about.

Thats not possible since I don't have the arrangment of this song anymore. But in general I think it would be possible - but since this is off topic I can not invest my time for that.

Makes sense. Thanks for replying!
