Just a word of warning, the tech guy at my old college lost three teeth playing like Hendrix, caught them on the string and they just pinged out.

So you know, rock n roll.

i'm sure the internet will correct me if i'm wrong, because i cant actually remember if i've been told this or i've just assumed it.... or if whoever told me assumed it.

its a nice little bit of showmanship. 'licking' the strings gives the illusion that you are plucking the strings with your tongue, but in reality you are hammering on and pulling off with your fingers. try turning the gain up and playing long runs on one string without using your strumming hand. once you've got that down, get tonguing :lol:

With his tongue? Maybe he was just licking the guitar 8)
Yeah, I saw him playing using his teeth. Yngwie does the same in this video (some part of Eruption from VanHalen)

All the best,

Since there were some stars already doing it, try other body parts which are close to the shape of a tongue! That might give you even more fans! :wink: :lol: :twisted:

BTW, I never saw anybody playing a guitar with flapping ears either! :roll: Why not?

Why :?: :roll:
Do you wish to be a musician or a member of Cirque Du Soleil .....
Or are you really in need of getting napalmed .... :?:

However if you are possessed to do so, I would highly suggest wearing rubber soled shoes ... :shock:

And check the amp's grounding as well, otherwise you might as well rather be dancing than playing guitar! :wink:

My cat regularly licks the strings on my guitars. Sometimes even when I'm sat down playing.

Maybe my cat is the reincarnation of Hendrix. :shock:

She does it to brand new strings too. She also hooks her claws behind the strings while putting a paw on the fretboard. She's managed to actually fret a note and play it a couple of times.

Holy crap, she actually is the reincarnation of Hendrix. :lol:

The guitar is faster and louder having the sticker on - that one goes to 11 \m/

All the best,
