The 'clicky clack' effect from Van Halen's 'On Fire'. Taken from my recent YouTube tutorial 'Offensive Guitar Sounds! ⚠️🚫 The Tutorial'
HOW TO DO IT:
1. Tune your guitar down half a step
2. Hover your finger over the 6th fret wire, lightly making contact with the strings. Like you would when playing natural harmonics.
3. Picking pattern: (the letters refer to which string to pick)
A - D - A - G repeat
GOOD LUCK!
