  1. WHAM, designated by a W. The string is “WHAMMED” up and stretched. I am not sure, is this an old term used for “bending” or maybe just “unison bends” in Mississippi Delta Blues Guitar?  Freddie Spruell probably whammed a few strings playing “Milk Cow Blues” a hundred years ago and McKinley Morganfield probably wasn’t no stranger  to this “special effect”. 
     

     

     

  2.  1959 ! What were you doing?  I met the girl next door.Spent a lot of time sitting in a 1954 Chevy running the battery down.I remember going to friends house to watch Bonanza in color. Then the second best thing Twilight Zone on TV. Then of course the brand new interstate highway curved its way through town.

  3. One of the members was recently talking about The Band Metallica I am not a “heavy metal”fan but I thought I’d take a look at the song to see what he was talking about; “One” by Metallica. First off it is 18 pages of music, and it wasn’t what I had imagined. It actually looked pretty interesting.On page 8 it has some “pick tapping”. I kinda remember Steve talking about tapping in session 14. Here it said to use  the edge of the  pick and not your finger. That got my attention. So I had to google pick tapping to see what exactly was happening using this method..There we’re a few videos on “pick tapping” and the videos explained how they were using a pick instead of a finger which was interesting because it eliminates the need to magically get the pick out of the way when transitioning to tapping.However since I never really tried tapping I started looking for a beginner lesson and found a Fender Play video that gave some history and discussed the  basic tapping technique in more detail.
