so are there ronnie fans that can play this style a bit??

Yeah, I can.

The hardest bit I find is ending the run smoothly, ending on a nice note with good vibrato and control.

You just mute and rip as fast as you can and use the lower strings E A D. Running your finger up and down the string. You can also do a combination of hammers and pull offs as you go down or up.

I find that if I hold my pick lighter and lock my wrist I can go from warp speed to Nuclear!!!!!

I feel a bit funny about explaining the way he plays when its Ronni's website.

He's the master and if his video comes out you will see it all.

There are other tricks he does also that I have also learnt.

Looking at the "Shine on Forever" video and talking to other players.
I saw him play last Sunday from about 2 foot away and saw some of the techniques first hand. A dream after 17 years!

Ronni is my favourite guitar player and have listened and tried to emulate some of his style over a long time.

Although I love his fast playing and ingenious little tricks I love his sense of melody and structure too.

Hope this helps a bit.

i saw him at the stord gig yesterday...vas very close...sick guitar tone..i guess i play it too slow or someting it does not sound like him or familiar when i play the fastest i can and mute with hammer on and pull offs..e guess it has to practiced a bit on ...

Hey Svartatosten, I've done you a short video of the machine gun technique for you. Its was fun I havent done a vid on the pc before.

I put some other things I think he does on it as well. (Or tried my best to do anyway '')


Its about 3.5 meg.

It was difficult to get both hands in on the shot though but tried my best.

Send me your email address and I'll send it to you.

Neil

Hey I have gone one step further.

I uploaded the video to youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdF_AbFEgW8

I hope it helps you.

Doing the video and uploading it to youtube has been a good learning experience I am glad you sent me the private message asking me to do a video.

I just hope I havent embarressed myself!!!

Ye i was supose too tell you that you could do that
Damn that was a kickass one...you sound verry like ronnie
i found out after your video i need to pick much faster thats the trick i think...
You have not embarressed yourself..it was killer

i've just nailed the 10.000 lovers riff that comes after the lick you played on this video.

something strange with that riff..verry hard to get the feeling on it when you playing it..

i will upload when im playing the whole song or at least trying to
when i get a camera(can take a while..)

maybe we should have a tread where we play tnt songs and record it on video

Thanks mate,

It was good fun doing it.

I didnt realise how easy it is to record and put things on Youtube.

So I learnt a lot doing it.

I hope Ronni will do some for us!!!

Neil

I've seen your video- very nice.. Thanks!

I wonder why "10 000 lovers" is tuned down to Eb. Maybe so Tony Harnell could reach the high notes?

Thankyou apprieciate it!!

If I can help with other stuff I am more than happy to.

If i am capable of course???

Neil

can you play the solo he plays on the live version of 10000 lovers? i can't figure out the beginning with the tap stuff...
i tried to pick all i could on my guitar today and it sound like the machine gun thing so thanks again:)

how long have you played?

Thank you for appreciating my playingstyle
and visiting the site.
I will open a guitarschool on the internet from the fall of 2007
where I explain different techniques,studiowork,sound etc.. :

all the best

Ronni

Exellent really looking forward to it!

Neil

Was great too see You at the stord gig..

I can`t wait to see this 12-step guitar`s lessons and you`re uniqe way to play.
I think I`ve have to learn some more of you`re super-great TNT tablatures..
do you know what happened to this japanese guy who was a great fan and tablature-maker??
He suddenly stopped producing TNT tablatures,thats bad,cause they where very good I think..
I wish you good luck whit you`re projects Ronni,you said it yourself:you have never been more productive than you are today..I will buy all the stuff you`re gonna make in the future..and say hello to you`re brother Gard,Davidsen and Hesthagen..

Vikingr,Gjøvik,(Toten).
