Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows exactly how to play the insane Timmy riff that he plays at 3:06 in the Live @ Luther College version of What Would You Say. He plays it ridiculousy fast, completeing the riff in under 2 seconds, it ends just before 3:08. I have the oficial songbook for Live @ Luther, and it says that he hits 27 different notes covering 5 different strings in that under 2 second time period. However, I find that impossible. Does anyone know how to really play the riff? Any responding posts/e-mails, etc. would be great. Thanks a ton,
Rob |

| Sorry to say, thats how he plays it, ive seen him do it. I have a Line 6 delay pedal, and if i record that riff then play it at double speed u can tell thats what it is. If you can find the video of tim's solo for jimi thing at chicago, there is a part when he plays rediculously fast and he is doing the same thing, u can see it. He uses that riff a lot when playing with the band i noticed. I think i also hear it in his solo for trippin billies at luther college. |

| Does Timmy actually use the delay pedal on stage when he plays that riff? Any tips for on how I can play it as fast as he does? Was there anything special that he did when you saw him do it? (Use Special picks, etc.) Do you remember how he played it (what fingers he used) any help is greatly appreciated, thanks. |

| tips for playing as fast as that: practice. make sure, though, when you get that fast, you're playing cleanly. if you're playing fast and it's indistinguishable, there's really not point. |
death to false metal. |

| Tim does not use a pedal to get his speed. Ive watched the video closely, and he uses no special picking techniques, he just goes really fast. But you gotta remember, tim has 30+ years of playing experience, you cant just pick up a guitar and 3 years later be able to pick as fast as him. The only tip i can think of is just to play it over and over again. Just make sure you are synchronizing your picking with your finger movements, or else you will get into a bad habit of not picking at the same time you move your fingers, and you will sound messy. I am trying to do the same thing right now, ive gotten better over the past few weeks, but i think it will be a while before i can do that riff. |

| oh ya, and in the video he used his index, middle and ring finger, but he was on an electric guitar, and higher up on the fretboard, so it might not work for wwys solo. |
