This is not playable right? - Lemmy.world

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

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?
Steve Vai with his freaky enormous hands maybe
Use your feet ya noob

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: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQVNLTPHaX0&pp=ygUadG…

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

Hooray for technology!

It’s not a hammer-on 1-3?
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.
Lindsey Buckingham can probably Travis pick it.

Move those notes to different strings and this is a basic minor bar:

4 5 6 X 4

Change the fingering

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!

That’s the “Fuck you” chord
