Muting Techniques - Example 5b

Here comes the fun! In example 5b, I use the fingers of my left hand to slap and fill in the “gaps” so to speak. That is, where ever there is a rest in the riff from 5a, I will slap, thereby creating a continuous flurry of notes, but also creating a driving almost echoing effect in the riff. Try it out at various speeds and you will find it very useful.
