What's up with the thumb on the neck thing, is that for wide stretches? Somebody tab that part out

I can't watch the video right now (damn work -lol), but I know what you're talking about with the thumb. He said that he used to be roomates with Warren DeMartini and Warren could do these huge streches so Jake just came up with the thumb-thing as a work-around.Unleash the fury.....Texas style! -

Jakes sound was way to compressed sounding but more on the ultimate sin tour than batm.. I much preferred the raw tone he had in badlands .Originally posted by jcm800xDon't worry - I'll smack her if it comes to that. You do not sell guitars to buy shoes.

in a recent interview (i think the one where he disses his last batch of charvel guitars) he talks about how he uses his thumb to fret some chords and how this was always a source of amusement for dimartini (when they were living together).Comment

Good vid. I remember Mustaine doing the thumb in front thing a bunch of years ago, I think maybe it was the last tour with Marty Friedman."Your work is ingenius…it’s quality work….and there are simply too many notes…that’s all, just cut a few, and it’ll be perfect."Comment

Great stuff, and I must admit I think I prefer Jake's lead playing to Zakk's. I prefer the music from the first 2 CDs Ozzy did with Zakk, but Jake's lead playing was spot-on to my ears!Popular is not the same as good
Rare is not the same as valuable
Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to getComment

Great player, I like his Badlands tone also. Ultimate Sin was my favorite, good metal tone.Charvel 7308 (TMZ 008), Charvel Pro-mod (yellow), Jackson Soloist Custom (Yellow), Jackson SL2H-V Natural, Gibson LPS DB, Gibson LPS EB, Gibson LPCC C, Charvel Model 2 (scalloped), Jackson DK2M (white), Charvel Journeyman, Fender Classic Player 60's strat, Carvin C66, Musikraft strat mutt, Warmoth Strat mutt, Fender MIM Jazz bass, Epiphone Classical, Takamine parlor.

Yeah, Jake said he's got smaller hands and he used to fret with his thumb so he could stretch/slide farther with his other fingers.Originally posted by SeventhSonI feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment
